The world is green in this tropical humid part of the Botanical garden of Basel. And she lives, even in the Winter. "Look here, the leaves of these plants: if you touch this, pull yourself together," says Anna Rossinelli . The singer walked through the greenhouse, makes for photos of the most striking plants that grow here. "For me the garden is always a place of discovery, that was already in the garden of Eden," says the 31-year-old girl from Basel, Switzerland.
But not that Anna Rossinelli on their fourth Album "White Garden" sings about plants. Certainly not your music a very natural and acoustic than in the past. On the contrary, In the new Songs with electronic elements pushing to the forefront. And you think to hear a rougher Anna rossinelli than in the past.
In Switzerland is their career so far for pop music and more for the Light than the Melancholic. Since 2011, Rossinelli has participated with her band mates at the Eurovision Song Contest. "In Love for a While" was the innocuous Song, with the then 24-year-old street musician was able to qualify for the final and maximum attention to. How she looks now, almost eight years later, this time? "The ESC-participation of a part of my life, there's nothing embarrassing for me."
Man she called a "One-Hit-Wonder"
But of course, Nobody wants to be reduced to a life on a song – "just as no one wants to apply for a lifetime as Miss Switzerland," said Rossinelli. And she fights vigorously against the stamp – "One-Hit-Wonder", "Pop bitch" – your adhering to ever since: "women will again receive a stamp any more, because when you look good, it means: nothing, you just look good." And adds emphatically: "We women still have to fight harder than the men."
Anna Rossinelli is the star image that many of you have, a rejection: "people see me in the "Schweizer illustrierte" and think I'm rich, have a swimming Pool and a 10-room apartment." This image of the rich musician with a Major Label under contract, showed up last, as you and your band mates for their last Album wanted to travel to the United States. As they launched a Crowdfunding campaign, they found themselves in a Shitstorm. But Rossinelli is a reminder of how hard it is to sell yourself as a musician with a certain degree of popularity, Tickets for concerts: "I'm on the bag, if it is assumed that the halls are always full," said Rossinelli. Of course, the course of her relatively well, but people forget how much work is behind their music stuck, like a lot of time also. And Must result in a product? May not something into the Void?
Anna Rossinelli, which operates in the summer with a friend, a Kiosk in a Basel Badi where it is just the Anna, could insulate themselves for the "White Garden" from this time pressure. The time you took to easily, have you done very well. You around pröbelten in the Studio, or together with the producers, Simon Kistler. They sent the Songs Fabio Friedli, known as Pablo Nouvelle international. The Bernese enriched the Songs with additional electronic Details.

And then there is also something to happen since you published three years ago, their last Album: In the meantime, the relationship with the bassist of their Band, Georg Dillier went into the fractures. After 12 Years Of Age. "Such a long relationship is something that defines you." And it took time, "because George is just gone, but still part of the Band". There were injuries, slights. "Just because we've had relationship problems, not chucked it all in there. But until we have succeeded, we had to fight and work."
"White Garden" tells the story of this process of Neufindung. Rossinelli speaks of a kind of condition in which the leaves are still white and just waiting to be re-described. With new experiences, new moments, the other people also. Or well-known people, which appear now in a new relationship roles. But a completely new start, no, you must Yes. "The garden is already there."
Ascending in anthem choruses
also, some of the Pop references to lightning, because in the mind of the listener: As the icy-dreams the sound of the guitar in the English Band The XX, while in a Song like "Jewellery" to the so-agile singer Rossinelli achieved the lightness of the Irish Disco Erneuerin Róisín Murphy. She says: "I want to use what is all around." Because in Pop everything is very broad, "you can be very far to the outside, so much to try and with effects play". Just like the Surfer Jack Johnson could remain a lifetime in his style.
Ultimately, nelli for Anna Rossi-but not the Sounds, but the Songwriting is crucial: "A Song should also work just with guitar and voice." One of those Songs that you can imagine slimmed down, is the first Single, "Hold Your Head Up". The Song starts quietly and then increases in a positive, hymn-like chorus. You can hear what it's about: To trust, to openness. There are two things that the Band needed, so they "could accommodate White Garden". And is a testimony to the message that Anna Rossinelli is important: "We want to remain friends. And we really want to." Because the garden is created, it continues to grow.
