Following their album entitled 'A Women Thing', a congenial homage to their musical heroines, German a cappella group Les Brünettes felt ready for a "boys thing". And who better to choose than the epitome of all boys groups, the Beatles? Seen through the eyes of four women, we are treated to an exhilarating close-up of the Fab Four's life and music.
To get even closer to the Beatles' spirit, Les Brünettes recorded their album at the famous Abbey Road Studios in London - the very place where Paul, George, Ringo and John wrote and recorded many of their greatest hits.
It is a pure joy to hear Les Brünettes place their impressive vocal skills in the service of these timeless songs, and not only for real die-hard Beatles fans. Taking their inspiration from the Fab Four, the arrangements involve highly creative, playful and sometimes tongue-in-cheek flights of fancy. The girls dust off popular hits, discover lesser-known tracks and link songs together in surprising ways.
Each of the four exquisite singers contributes her own personal approach to the Beatles. Despite, or perhaps thanks to their great respect for the Fab Four's musical genius, the show never digresses into nostalgic wallowing. Carried along by the sumptuous harmonies of the four female voices, the new programme is a comprehensive work of art that rocks, grooves and swings – and aims directly for the heart.
