in June is rooted in Jazz, melancholic folk songs, and classical art songs. The result of this synthesis, however, is far from what you’d expect it to be. From these elements, Fama M’Boup develops her very own language of a cappella music for four voices, now and then applying synthesizers or drums to finish it. in June finds expression through vocal music that has little to do with the things we think we know about this somewhat dusty genre. Neoclassical meets electronic music, spoken word meets Rilke and brutal honesty. You can also recognize structures of contemporary pop songs – ranging from feather-light and playful (“How to Kiss”) to a soaring sea of roaring, agitated emotions (“Emotionsea”).
in June is an ensemble of four quite extraordinary vocalists, but also a profoundly personal expression by a singular composer and lyricist – some sort of getting to know oneself in four voices. Not only music, but also friendship connects Fama M‘Boup with her band colleagues, whom she repeatedly puts in the foreground while stepping back herself – without which mutual opening up and showing vulnerabilities wouldn’t be possible at all.
