SLEAP-E is reclaiming herself. The Italian singer-songwriter’s second album, 8106, captures the spirit of play; the child-like instinct to pursue what you love without compromise - and here it is, that particular magic that rarely survives adulthood, remarkably intact. Though her sound has shifted from the tender bedroom pop of her 2020 EP Mellow and her 2022 debut album Pouty Lips which was bedecked with jubilant brass and Mediterranean rhythms, it’s her self-belief which endures.
8106 is Sleap-e’s most raucous, unpolished and playful offering to date, steeped in the influence of “egg-punk”, an internet-grown genre which seeks to satirise the tropes of punk with its danceable irreverence. There is joy to be found, Asia Martina Morabito feels, in refusing to conform, and it has brought her closer to herself than ever before.
8106 was the number of the hotel room she felt confined to, alone and adrift from comfort when she was working away from home. Sometimes you have to be removed from something to realise how much you miss it. She decided to return home to Bologna, and there she began recording the album in residency at the Bronson Club: a hive of like-minded creatives and mentors who helped it take its final form. At home, her own music was played freely and instinctively - and with fun.
The artwork for 8106 is by Noemi Vola, a prolific Bolognian illustrator and author who specialises in designs for children, which reflects the “funky, fairytale mood” of the record itself. “Poetry” is an ode to sharing halloumi fries with a close friend over literature, speaking to those particular moments and relationships in our lives which nourish us; “Leave My Bum Alone” arrives as an explosion of mischief and frivolity. It also leans into tenderness and sharp sincerity, and in the album’s closing title track Asia speaks to herself: “It’s about sadness and rage, but more than that, this need to live: to go away and change things - to love myself.”

Die vierköpfige Berliner Band CAROLINA LEE arrangiert die lyrischen Songs von Sängerin Nadja Carolina zu einem minimalistischen Sound. Das erinnert an Female – Singersongwriter der 70er-Jahre und an den Dream Pop der 90er-Jahre. In Carolina Lees Songs verbinden sich Gitarre, Bass, Schlagzeug und Tasteninstrumente zu langsamen, verträumten, ja vielleicht sogar hypnotischen Kompositionen.
Hinter den mit dunklem Timbre vorgetragenen Melodien von Sängerin Nadja Carolina liegen diesmal Rhythmen, die manchmal entfernt an Hip-Hop der frühen 90er oder SoulMusik der 70er-Jahre erinnern, eine psychedelische Gitarre wimmert zart und immer wieder hören wir eine alte Rhythmusmaschine auftauchen. Ein Casiokeyboard spielt Klänge, die aus einem John Carpenter Soundtrack entliehen sein könnten und ein dezent zurückgelehnter Bass hält alles zusammen.
So lässt die Musik einen Sog entstehen, von dem man sichmitziehen lassen kann in eine Zeitschleife zwischen Gestern und Heute. Aller Melancholie zum Trotz klingen die neuen Songs verspielter und hoffnungsvoller als das Debütalbum ‚Haunted Houses‘ (2021).
‚It’s still now‘ ist auch ein persönliches Album. In den Texten geht es um Verlust und Neuanfänge. Um Spaziergänge durch die manchmal fremd erscheinende Heimatstadt Berlin, um neue Liebe, Sorgearbeit und einsame Nächte in halb leeren Bars, in denen man nicht vorbereitet ist auf die Hoffnung, die einen plötzlich trifft.
‚It’s still now‘ wurde in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Musiker und Produzenten Max Braun in einem alten Bauernhaus im Norden Deutschlands aufgenommen und erscheint am 20.Dezember 2024 via Marzipan Records.
