WITH LOVE – SIMONE KOPMAJER
Two years after her bestselling album “Christmas”, Simone is announcing a new studio album called “With Love”.
It was produced by John Di Martino, Reinhardt Winkler & herself.
The trio brought Simones vision of an intimate but rich sound to a point. Wonderful string arrangements played by Grammy Winning NY string quartet are surrounding her subtile vocals..
“With Love“ is a mix of old timeless classics, love songs and two original compositions, definitely Kopmajers most romantic album in her incredible career on which she is again proving her different facets as a musician and vocalist.
Accompanied by Harry Allen, John Di Martino, Boris Kozlov, Reinhardt Winkler, Gottfried Gfrerer & Wesley Amorim , Simone Kopmajer turns her sensual vocals to songs like “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart“ (Bee Gees), “Cold Cold Heart“ (Hank Williams) and the wonderful “Over the rainbow“.
