The idea for this song came from Brigitte (keyboards) listening to Josanne (vocals) as she talked to her family on the phone. Josanne comes from Trinidad, grew up in Canada and now lives in Germany. Her family is spread all over the world. During these calls it became clear how much everyone across the world is confronted with this strange situation.

We then asked our friends & family to send us brief statements about their situation. We got answers from Panama, New York, China, Mauritius, Africa and Germany.
We also received musical tracks that we processed in this song.

There will also be a video in the next few days.

Die Idee zu diesem Song entstand, als Brigitte (Keyboards) Josanne (Voc.) zuhörte, wie diese mit ihrer Familie telefonierte. Josanne stammt aus Trinidad, ist in Kanada aufgewachsen und lebt nun in Deutschland. Ihre Familie ist über die ganze Welt verteilt. Bei diesen Telefonaten wurde greifbar, wie sehr nicht nur wir hier, sondern alle auf der Welt mit dieser merkwürdigen Situation konfrontiert sind. 

Daraufhin haben wir unsere Freunde gebeten, uns kurze Statements zu ihrer Lage zu schicken. Wir bekamen Antworten aus Panama, New York, China, Mauritius, Afrika und aus Deutschland. 
Wir erhielten auch musikalische Tracks, die wir in diesem Song verarbeitet haben.

In den nächsten Tagen wird es hierzu auch noch ein Video geben.

COOLANOVA - the coolest sound under the supernova ...

Coolanova. Since 2011

Coolanova surprises with Jazzy Chillout Pop. Their distinctive style combines elements of pop, jazz, electronics and world music, in a tongue in cheek manner, when they play rock songs in ball gown attire.

The members of Coolanova are Josanne Thomas, Brigitte Volkert and Bernhard Heck.

As a bass player, Bernhard brings a lot of live experience in a variety of styles, but his real passion is for his own songs. Inspired by Sade, Beady Belle and Morcheeba, he turned to lounge soundscapes in 2005.

In keyboardist Brigitte in 2011 he found the perfect musical ally for his way of working. Their background of classical, rock and world music with a dash of jazz completes Bernhard's vision - and they founded Coolanova. If you listen carefully, you will see inspiration from Jazzanova, Bonobo, Thievery Corporation and Lana del Rey in their complex sound.

For two years they forged the sound of the first CD ‘Coolanova’ in different places around the world, together with singer Michelle D. Walker, who contributed impressive vocal arrangements. In '4square' - Brigitte's four-square-meter home studio - they produced the debut album, which was released in 2014. It seamlessly combines interpretations of well-known songs such as 'Overload' or 'Your Love is King' with their own compositions. In the studio, they worked with drummer Manni von Bohr and percussionist Pitti Hecht, among others.
 
Singer Josanne brought new elements to the sound with her Caribbean fire when Michelle retired to a more family life. With her warm charisma, Josanne shapes the appearance of Coolanova.
 
The trio's second album revolves around life, the universe and the rest. 'Perspectives' was released in 2017 with music to listen to and personal texts full of depth. Original songs fill half of the album, while the other half convinces with new interpretations of songs by Kurt Cobain, Chris Isaak and Prince.

The next production from autumn 2020 will be an explosion of musical colors. 
It will be exciting!!
