Lea Kliphuis will release her second album The World Owes Me Nothing in January. The record is the next step in the emerging oeuvre of the talented singer, guitarist and songwriter. The album by the Nijmegen native is a lot more optimistic and cheerful than its predecessor from 2010.
The record, however, took five years. After the tour for the previous album Can I Come By?, nothing came out of Lea's fingers for a while, so she called in the help of JP Hoekstra (Krezip, Douwe Bob) and she also accepted the invitation of Marien Dorleijn (Moss) to write together. With all those numbers in her pocket, Lea recorded the record together with Hoekstra and Dorleijn and the rhythm section of De Staat (Jop van Summeren and Tim van Delft) in a stay in the Groningen countryside.
The World Owes Me Nothing is a lot emptier than Can I Come By? The sound is open, “we left out more than we included,” according to Lea. The sound is influenced by records like Raising Sand by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, but also Sea Change by Beck. And those who are familiar with Lea Kliphuis know that the influences of Lucinda Williams, Bruce Springsteen, Gillian Welch and Ryan Adams can also be found. And after the beautiful piano number Remember Me, a female choir can be heard on the bonus number Oh Boy with the voices of Ricky Koole, Stevie Ann, Anna de Beus and Fenna van Zwieten.
Lea Kliphuis represents a unique sound in Dutch music. The World Owes Me Nothing confirms that status.
