Danish-born singer, composer, producer and wordworker Astrid Engberg is influenced by a myriad of genres including Jazz, Soul, Hip Hop, World, Blues, and Classical music. Astrid sketches sonic landscapes that are both steeped in her Scandinavian roots and infused with the kaleidoscopic hues of her many travels, drawing inspiration in equal parts from everyday life, people, images and sounds. On Poetry Is Gone, her second solo effort on Phonosaurus Records, we discover new parts of Astrid’s musical universe dotted of electronic and hip hop vibes, embellished with African, blues and futuristic influences.
