Nach innen geht der geheimnisvolle Weg. In uns oder nirgends ist die Ewigkeit…“ NOVALIS. Das neue Album „Eternity“ von Simone Kermes ist die Reduktion auf das Wesentliche.

Simone Kermes verspürte im Corona Lockdown die Sehnsucht, Ihre Gefühle in Musik umzuwandeln, um zu überleben. Sie entdeckte dabei eine neue Seite in ihr. - sich auf ein Wesentliches zu reduzieren. Das Ergebnis: das wohl tiefste Album ihrer Karriere. einfach aber nie simpel - berührend und zeitlos. EWIG.
