Gölä’s latest single turned pretty steamy with a few sultry phrases and some old school soul ad libs to take it out. In addition to Background vocals Hedreich and Gölä had some stuff to say to each other — on wax. After that, Gölä got Hedreich to go Gospel-Blues-Soul on top of some mean Rock ‘n Roll. It’s gonna burn up the charts. Too bad you’ll have to wait to find out if it’s English or Swiss-German. We’re not telling…
In between getting the video for “Listen” up and out and doing some composing, Hedreich finds time to get some tracks done with Switzerland’s favorite working class singer after all. Hedreich, Gölä and Corrinne Gfeller (of We Will Rock You fame) are not only back on again, the session will taking place a day earlier. It seems there was some magic made that’s just begging for a female touch! Stop back by to see how the day went. We’ll keep a light on for ya…
The March 12th Balik studio session will go on as planned senza Hedreich’s background vocals with Corrinne Gfeller of Zibblingz. At the moment, Switzerland’s answer to Bruce Springsteen will be eschewing the SF1/ Musicstar controversy to concentrate on lead vocals and production before getting Hedreich back in to put on some final touches.

Sometimes you start out on a path that leads you to absolutely nowhere you want to be. While at Balikfarm studio acting as vocal coach and poetry police, Hedreich found herself in a front row seat for the “big story” du jour. In one day Gölä killed the studio project that wasn’t happening and quit Musicstar, the Swiss version of American Idol. Almost simultaneously Hedreich decided to cancel the planned recording of “Listen”. “Recording “Listen” would have been a wonderful tribute to a great performance moment but Beyonce already did it so well… so for those who were hoping to buy it as a single, I hope you’ll be just as excited to get my next CD.” Hedreich’s singer/songwriter self is growing, evolving. And one thing is for sure. Just like the Bernese working man, if it ain’t working, she’ll back up and take off in a better direction.

For those of you who saw Art on Ice you got to hear some really great music from Daniel Powter backed by the GSB. “It was really great working with Daniel. He writes great singable songs and is specific about what he wants from the band. He asked if I’d be interested in touring with him so it’ll be interesting to see what comes of that.”
And for those of you who wrote in about “Listen”, Hedreich will be in the Studio at the end of the month so expect the single to be available soon thereafter. Okay folks, that’s about it for now. Stop back by. We’ll leave a light on for ya…
The last of the pictures from this year’s bombastic Art on Ice 2009 will be up by the weekend but in the meantime there really is life after AOI. If you’re watching Music Star, you just might catch Hedreich doing the Chiratbella bit. Of course, if your Sunday nights are otherwise taken, you can check out Chirat.ch and download her “I Want You” directly to your ringtone file .
BACK TO BERN
And already the restful February is filling up with a flash flood of the unexpected. Gölä, Switzerland’s double platinum Bernese singer, will be going back into the studio later this month and he’s taking his favorite vocal coach with him to help him get the best onto wax. And when this one comes out you’ll get to hear Hedreich backing him up on some really great tunes. Keep your ear to the ground. There may be some nice surprises coming up with that one…
Of course if you like Gospel, Hedreich will be stepping into her Choir digs for the 3rd of the “Power in Our Heart” series. Check out the calendar for details.
And to keep on top of the latest, stop back by soon. We’ll leave a light on for ya!
Well folks, Art on Ice 2009 is now officially over. If you were one of the 75,000 people saw it live, you were lucky enough to experience true magic. Swiss TV 1’s production was an excellent cross-section of the production’s highlights. And Hedreich’s “Listen” with Shizuka Arakawa was one of the show’s finest moments. In case you missed it on February 7th, it will be repeated (for the nighthawks) on Sunday February 8th at 1:15AM and Wednesday 1:45 in the afternoon. And if you miss it altogether Chiratbella will be singing again this month during Musicstar!! picture: Phillippe Jung
