With moody chord progressions and ethereal vocals, Judith Haustein’s ‘Freeze’ is irresistible. The influence of Judith’s interest in jazz harmony is clear in the delicate verses with crisp and flawless vocal delivery; it’s the chorus where this seamless blend of jazz and mainstream harmonies shines. The melody will stick in your head as Judith sings directly to you and the incredible production creates a soundscape to envelope you in her sound.
Judith’s interest in jazz improvisation began in her early twenties, which set her on a path to complete a BA in Jazz studies in London under Stuart Hall, Eddie Parker and Nikki Iles. During this time, Judith really honed her skills and intensively engaged with modal harmony and Brazilian music.
Judith released her first album Fire and Sleep, which she produced as part of her MA thesis, in 2008; after a stint touring on London’s underground scene with her six piece band ‘Judith Haustein & the Peanutbutterflies’, Judith has settled for now in Stuttgart. Here, she free-lances as a composer for film and media while she’s also an arranger, choir conductor and singing teacher. With Judith’s new single, she has managed to effortlessly incorporate elements of her recent work on the strong base layer of her jazz roots.
Judith is an undeniable talent. With her impeccable vocals and immaculate song writing, ‘Freeze’ is not to be overlooked.
