Uta Habbig, the Cologne-born, New York-based singer and songwriter, returns with her compelling new album Another Sky, a deeply personal and musically rich release that highlights her versatility as both a vocalist and composer. Following her debut album Windward (2016), the EP Songs from the Lighthouse (2020), and the single The Love We Know (2023), Another Sky stands as a significant milestone in her artistic evolution.
An Album About Hope, Reflection, and New Perspectives
Another Sky is rooted in the idea of music as a place of refuge. The album’s title reflects a powerful message: no matter how dark the sky may appear, another one always follows—offering hope, renewal, and a shift in perspective. Across ten original compositions, Uta Habbig explores themes of dreams, longing, emotional resilience, and the complexities of everyday life.
Her songwriting captures moments of vulnerability and strength with poetic clarity, inviting listeners into an intimate and emotionally resonant experience.
A Unique Blend of Jazz, Chamber Pop, and Classical Influences
Musically, Another Sky seamlessly blends jazz, chamber pop, and classical music, creating soundscapes that are both gentle and dynamic. The album features sophisticated harmonies balanced by accessible melodies, making it engaging for both casual listeners and lovers of intricate musical detail.
Habbig’s expressive and intimate vocal style is at the heart of the album, guiding the listener through songs that move between quiet introspection and subtle emotional intensity.
Outstanding Guest Musicians and Ensemble Performances
The album is enriched by the contributions of exceptional guest musicians. Acclaimed American jazz pianist Glenn Zaleski appears as a sensitive duo partner on tracks such as Seasons and All That I Can See. Danish jazz trumpeter Ari Kárason adds a lyrical and expressive voice with his solo performances on Dreams and Petite Chanson.
The core ensemble—Franky Rousseau (guitar and producer), Adi Meyerson (bass), Dominic Mekky (piano), and Connor Parks (drums)—creates a cohesive and finely balanced musical foundation, perfectly complementing Habbig’s lush compositions and artistic vision.
A Captivating Contemporary Jazz-Inspired Album
With Another Sky, Uta Habbig delivers an album that is both emotionally immersive and musically sophisticated. It is a compelling release for fans of contemporary jazz, singer-songwriter music, chamber pop, and thoughtfully crafted compositions. Refined yet deeply heartfelt, Another Sky confirms Uta Habbig as an artist with a distinctive voice and a powerful creative identity.
