Claudia Brücken’s new single and video – Everyone Says “Hi”
Claudia Brücken: “Hi”
The latest song to be released as a single from the Claudia Brücken album she made with producer Stephen Hague, The Lost Are Found, is a song written by David Bowie, ‘Everyone Says “Hi”‘. It was the only single available in the U.K. from Bowie’s 2002 Heathen album. Claudia first thought of singing the song months ago, when Bowie was to some extent less present, a little more in the shadows, than he is now. She wanted to cover the song not least because its themes -loss, mourning, and, essentially, how a great, bitter-sweet sad song can somehow, in its presentation, its sensitivity, the overall sense of love whatever the circumstances- fitted well with the sequence of melancholic but inspirational songs chosen for The Lost Are Found. It was also a form of recommendation, very much confirmed recently with the unexpected appearance of Bowie’s ‘Where Are We Now,’ how Bowie’s later, not so widely known songs can be as powerful and resonant as his more obvious early classics.

new video: Claudia Brücken – Whispering Pines
Claudia Brücken – Whispering Pines, taken from the album The Lost Are Found (released 5th November 2012)
Whispering Pines is a song from the second Band album (1969), also known as the Brown album, written by Robbie Robertson and Richard Manuel. The song reminds us with its images of the forest as a lonely, sunless place, where the seasons change in their own way, in their own time, that the first three Band albums were written while the group were working and living amongst the forested hills and wooded mountains around the town of Woodstock, New York. Pines surround Woodstock, but this is a song about pines near the sea, on the edge of the wilder unknown, with waves crashing in, seagulls crying, foghorns sounding through the night, creating a deep, timeless sense of loss, and loneliness. The end of the song, where there the two singers Levon Helm and Richard Manuel perform a kind of abandoned gospel duet, reaches its resolution with the words ‘the lost are found’, which has been used by Claudia Brücken as the title of her new album. The Lost Are Found by Claudia Brücken is a collection of songs reflecting spiritual turbulence written and sung by people who like Richard Manuel have a certain ‘hurt in their voice.’ A collection of less well known pop songs and discreet classics that in their own delicate way mirror the anguish and outcast determination of the blues.
Taking on a song that could surely only be sung by the masterful Manuel is a brave thing to do, but it was a song that seemed important to cover not only because it gave her album its title but also because it richly symbolises the atmosphere of the album, and its own overall sense of loss, and isolation. The Lost Are Found contains songs set inside dreams, and lonely rooms, in empty houses, in the shadows, in the middle of dark woods, inside hostile cities, under a cold, cold sun. The song supremely demonstrates the ability of the great song to investigate and celebrate the nature of the soul, and even heal it when it has been wounded. Whispering Pines is acknowledged as one of the saddest songs ever written, and yet has the gorgeous quality of being able to cheer you up and calm you down – exactly the aim of Claudia and her producer Stephen Hague when putting together the album, to capture the exquisite experience of how a haunting, heartbreaking and somehow homeless ballad can make you feel better about your own life, help you deal with personal disapointments even tragedy, and face up to troubling times with an optimistic strength.
The video was filmed on purpose in an empty forest packed with hidden secrets, near a deserted English coastline, where something is about to happen, and was directed by Martin Gooch and Ray Moody.

Claudia Brücken’s new solo album ‘The Lost Are Found’
Claudia’s new album, ‘The Lost are Found’, is ready. She has worked with famed producer Stephen Hague (New Order, Pet Shop Boys, OMD, Robbie Robertson) on an exhilerating collection of intensely atmospheric songs by other people. These ‘other people’ are some of the favourite writers and artists of both Claudia and Stephen, expressing their particular obsession with the history of the pop song. Some might say it is definitely up there with the classic albums Claudia has been involved with from Propaganda’s A Secret Wish to Onetwo’s Instead. The album is both a celebration of the mood, majesty and mystery of a great pop song, and also a journey along an imaginary coast line of an imaginary country, a soundtrack to a view out to sea, and the thoughts of what lies ahead.
Singer and performer Brücken with producer and arranger Hague cover unexpected songs by the very well known – Bowie, the Band, Bee Gees, Electric Light Orchestra – songs she was always destined to sing – Pet Shop Boys, Julee Cruise – and songs by the less well known that should be well known – Dubstar, Lilac Time and Stina Nordenstam – and she sings them as though they are a reflection of her own views and voice, and an inspiring, revealing part of her own story. ‘The Lost are Found’ is a brilliant anthology of melancholy pop sung by one of pop’s most ingenious interpreters and produced by one of the great pop producers.
Please find ‘The Lost Are Found’ in our webstore, as cd or as an extra special, limited, signed vinyl.

Claudia Brücken as The Angel of Only
Claudia sings a song titled ‘Dark Spell’ on Andrew Poppy’s new album, Shiny Floor Shiny Ceiling. The staging of the musical voice has been a continuing thread in Andrew Poppy’s work. This new project is for six singers with himself as narrator/DJ/MC in a ‘club of ghosts’.
Best know for his albums for ZTT such as The Beating of Wings, Poppy has a unique body of work. This includes Chamber Operas for The Royal Opera House and The National Theatre and experimental approaches to musically driven theatre made with the seminal Impact Theatre Co-op.
Shiny Floor Shiny Ceiling is trans-genre and draws on his long term creative partnership with Julia Bardsley as well as collaborations with Claudia Brücken, James Gilchrist and the Portuguese singer Bernado Devlin. Shiny Floor Shiny Ceiling attempts a negotiation between electro pop, classical lieder and contemporary fado. Mixed by Paul Humphreys, the album is now available to pre-order at www.andrewpoppy.co.uk

11 may ’11 Claudia part of the Eurovision Song Contest festivities in Düsseldorf
Stars of the electronic scene to bring 80s vibe to Stadtwerke turbine hall
Together with Kraftwerk’s Wolfgang Flür, Claudia, Susanne and Ralf of Propaganda (and Paul and Andy of OMD!) will be the stars of a very special electro night at the Turbinenhalle of Düsseldorf’s Stadtwerke on Wednesday May 11 as part of the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 festivities.
‘Back in the 80s, bands like Kraftwerk, the Krupps, and Propaganda planted the roots of electronic music in Düsseldorf, and the musical style has grown from here, with branches reaching far beyond the German borders. The British band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD), for example, was heavily influenced by Kraftwerk. Düsseldorf’s municipal utility company (Stadtwerke) will host an event dedicated to the music of the 80s on 11 May at 7 p.m., not only to give ‘Lena fever’ a boost, but also to show that the old 80s heroes continue to thrill fans of all ages.’
‘In the Stadtwerke’s turbine hall in Flingern, at the very roots of the Düsseldorf energy company, former Kraftwerk member Wolfgang Flür will read from his book ‘I was a Robot’, with musical accompaniment from Thilo Schölpen, who will interpret some of the most famous Kraftwerk songs on the piano. Next, Claudia Brücken, singer of the band Propaganda, and Paul Humphreys, OMD keyboardist, will take the stage to present hits from both bands’ repertoires with their electronic quartet ‘Onetwo’. Special guests Susanne Freytag and Ralf Dörper from Propaganda will also make an appearance, performing chart successes, ‘Dr. Mabuse’ and ‘P-Machinery’, and Andy McCluskey from OMD will also join on stage for a couple of numbers!’
To round of events a DJ from Düsseldorf’s current electronic scene will generate some party sounds in the turbine hall. Düsseldorf’s municipal utilities will raffle off 75 x 2 Tickets for May 11. Just send an email to electricity@swd-ag.de before April 21. More info at Düsseldorf’s site, auf Deutsch!
