Maria's voice is one of those you either love or hate, and so is her music.
Uncompromising in her musical approach as well as performance she hits
truth right at it's core and strikes a chord in you ... Her clear, airy sound has
been compared to that of angels as well as wind instruments, the latter
referring to her use of it as well - Maria sings like an instrumentalist plays.
This is also reflected in her use of lyrics, as she states her point in an
abstract way, making space for everyone's own story in hers. Her
compositions are as diverse as life's surprises, merging modern Jazz with
Drum N'Bass and Rock grooves as well as Indian and Classical music. You
can hear Stravinsky as well as Björk in it, Billie Holiday and Debussy, Nikhil
Banerjee and Ani DiFranco, … but most of all, Maria Neckam.
