Hinter dem K\u00fcnstlernamen K.Flay steckt die Rapperin Kristine Meredith Flaherty aus Illinois. W\u00e4hrend ihrer College-Zeit stellte Flaherty fest, dass die meisten HipHop-Tracks im Radio nach einem ganz bestimmten Schema gestrickt sind. Kurzerhand \u00fcberlegte sie sich, einen Song in der Art nachzuschneidern und so entstand binnen einer Nacht die Parodie \u201eBlingity Blang Blang\u201c.<\/p>\n

Die damals 20-J\u00e4hrige merkte, dass ihr Songwriting und Rappen gut lagen und so entstanden bald ernst gemeinte Tracks, die Flaherty auf ihrem Laptop aufnahm. Aus Flaherty wurde K.Flay und schon 2004 ver\u00f6ffentlichte sie ihr erstes Album beziehungsweise Mixtape \u201eSuburban Rap Queen\u201c, mit dem sie sich schlagartig eine kleine Fangemeinde aufbaute.<\/p>\n

Seitdem sind zehn Jahre vergangen, jetzt erscheint mit \u201eLife As A Dog\u201c das erste Studioalbum der Musikerin. Und das hat mehr Pop- als HipHop-Appeal. Der minimale Einsatz von E-Gitarre und Klavier schafft zusammen mit sanften Synthesizern stimmige Hintergrund-Tracks, die oft ins D\u00fcstere und Melancholische gleiten.<\/p>\n

Beim langsam-groovigen \u201eEveryone I Know\u201c, dem eing\u00e4ngigen \u201eWishing It Was You\u201c und beim wabernd-bassigen \u201eTime For You\u201c ist mehr Gesang als Rap zu h\u00f6ren. Dass K.Flay einen ordentlichen Flow hat, beweist sie in Tracks wie \u201eGet It Right\u201c und dem Einheizer \u201eFever\u201c.<\/p>\n

\u201eLife As A Dog\u201c sticht im aktuellen US-HipHop eindeutig heraus \u2013 hier treffen pers\u00f6nliche Texte auf einen dichten, erdigen Sound, meilenweit von Schema F entfernt.<\/p>\n

Genervt von dem immer gleichen Radio-HipHop beschloss K.Flay mit Anfang 20, selbst das Rappen zu versuchen. Kurz darauf erschien ihr erstes Mixtape, jetzt gibt es ihr erstes Studioalbum \u201eLife As A Dog\u201c, das mit pers\u00f6nlichen Texten und einem dichten, erdigen Sound \u00fcberzeugt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10089,3,19],"tags":[5,9246,9247,9245,50,9277],"class_list":["post-59781","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-alben-der-woche","category-news","category-rezensionen","tag-album-der-woche","tag-humming","tag-humming-records","tag-k-flay","tag-neuerscheinungen-der-woche","tag-platten"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nAlbum der Woche: K.Flay -
