Let me indroduce: EP Movin’ On

Following the successful release of the two singles Words Are Hard to Find and Fallin’, Thun based singer-songwriter Andrea Schmider is now releasing the EP Movin’ On on November 3, 2023. You can expect a total of five deeply personal and moving songs, which build on her previous productions in atmospheric musical guises and yet always surprise you.

They were created in collaboration with London singer-songwriter Nadine Yomi and producer Manuel Halter (Luca Hänni, Boerni, Tracey Campbell, and many more). Each of the five songs occupies its own musical space – linked by the expressive and varied voice of the experienced singer. Stylistically, the production is still acoustic pop, but this time with jazzy vibes and a pinch of Irish folk. Inspiration was drawn from Katie Melua, Norah Jones and The Corrs, among others.

The album was recorded in Ostermundigen BE at Studio 21. Renowned studio musicians such as Michael Koshorrek (Söhne Mannheims), Dominik Burkhalter (Bligg, Baschi, Luca Hänni), Rafael Jerjen (Maxmantis) and of course Manuel Halter contributed to the fantastic sound. One of the many special features of this album: four of the five songs were recorded with upright bass.

The tour will kick off with a release event on January 13, 2024 at Studio 21 in Ostermundigen. More shows and a next production are already in the works.
