In January 2020, Hanne Boel released Between Dark And Daylight, an album the press proclaimed 'a resounding comeback.' But for it to called it a 'comeback,' she would have had to 'disappear,' and there are more than a few fans around the world who would say that her presence is felt and heard, clearly and constantly. Her presence is actually indisputable – whether on recordings, on tour, or as a professor and creative beacon for upcoming musicians at the Rhythmic Conservatory of Music in Copenhagen. Not even the Corona-virus could stop her artistic activities and creativity. In fact, the shutdown created a void in Hanne's calendar, and an opportunity leading to a self-imposed challenge: to sing in her native language of Danish.
Together with her regular musical partner, Jacob Funch (the creative guitarist, keyboard player, and more, who also starred in and produced Between Dark And Daylight), they got started.
The songs Hanne has chosen to interpret are composed by a wide spread of songwriters – some younger, some more established, with one older, legendary exception (best known as Sebastian). The musical approach on the album is minimalist: Hanne Boel's nuanced voice and Jacob Funch on guitar, synth, programming, and everything else. Overall, it's a refreshing musical outing and a surprising bid to honor some of the younger generation's newer Danish 'classics.' Hanne Boel's intense power and authentic interpretations make a strong impression, bringing fresh takes from a storied voice. Her mature emotional authenticity is elegantly draped around the forms of the songs in the repertoire, affirming them as timeless. And so, with a familiar touch, Hanne Boel continues introducing us to new sides of a talent we thought we knew so well.
