Ivy Gold, the female-fronted blues rock band featuring Manou, Tal Bergman (Joe Bonamassa, Billy Idol, Rock Candy Funk Party, et cetera), Sebastian Eder (Avalon), Kevin Moore (Jennifer Rush) and Anders Olinder (Glenn Hughes) is back with a new stunning album!

The band’s new offering Broken Silence is a muscular rock album with funk, blues and gospel influences – File under groundbreaking contemporary rock of the highest order!

“Ivy Gold’s sound is based on raw R&B á la Blues Pills or Joe Bonamassa. Coupled with a voice that is in no way inferior to the legendary singers like Inga Rumpf or even the icon Etta James. “But our front lady is by no means our only acoustic flagship,” guitarist Sebastian Eder is convinced. “Our sound is also based on wildly rampant heavy rock, emotionally touching gospel or an emotionally sweeping ballad.”

The fact that Ivy Gold, although they are at home in the most diverse places on this planet and have not known each other for too long, still comes across as a sound-technical bulwark is due to a true value: that of unbreakable friendship. “This close soul mate relationship we have, is sometimes a bit frightening,” vocalist Manou rubs her eyes again and again, amazed at so much sincere togetherness. “Our music may not be perfect. But thanks to the unusual circumstances of our cohesion, it is always authentic through and through.”

What congenially supports the wonderful unconventionality of the formation are the CVs of the band members. “I didn’t start singing professionally until I was in my early thirties. Before that it was just a hobby,” remembers the native of Salzburg with a smile. The group also came into existence completely casually. “Just because we were so excited, the outcome uncertain,” says the thoroughly unpretentious character appreciative, “Freedom is always the freedom of the moment.”

“The recording sessions this time were sometimes painful to the limit,” recalls Manou, who is responsible for the lyrics. “Which is because their content is much more intimate, personal. Writing like this can be very painful. But a powerful warrior like me can take it.”

Broken Silence releases on May 23rd.
