In a way our lives are miles apart, But we’re oh so close at heart. I’m the moon and you’re the sun When you start, my work is done. In a way our lives are miles apart, But we’re oh so close at heart. I never felt so good before, Too good to be true, But maybe I’ve still got a lot to learn to share my life with you. Life is good and that is true, Cause it led me straight to you. We are different - and that’s a fact, They say opposites attract.
New Album - OUT NOW
With Love
Two years after her bestselling album “Christmas”, Simone released the 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“.
Another highlight oft the album are the guest appearances of jazz legend Sheila Jordan and John Di Martino.
