Laura Stavinoha

I have performed this song many, many times while working as The Floating Diva. Since I don't perform classical music anymore, I wondered if I still had it in me: do I still have the vocal range and agility to sing Nina Hagen's masterpiece? Many thanks to Daniel Winkelman from Studio Winkelman, for recording and mixing!

Fast fashion Food wasted Flight bargains And more highways It’s never enough But keep longing For sure, we will reap what we sow We won’t see, most things we have we don’t need Take good care of what your eyes cannot see The air we breathe Fuels burning Oceans dying Ice melting And storms breaching Too big too comprehend So keep laughing For sure, we will reap what we sow We won’t see, most things...

You may think that I’m insane Curiosity is my game When the portals open up And let me flow on top I never ever thought I never thought I could feel And if my heart then skips a beat Revelation is complete Let go of time and out of space Two dimensions we tend to overrate That’s what humans do Take me to the other side Let me take control Take me to the other side I want to know how it feels with...

Let me draw a map of your mind Cause we’re so lost inside Don’t want to be rude or unkind But I’ve got to search for something you hide Take my hand, and lead me inside You don’t need to be scared Things won’t collide Cause I see you, I feel you I hear you, but I cannot connect to The real you, who is so true I stand by you, and I want to merge with you Let me draw a map of your mind Cause I wanna...

Let me draw a map of your mind Cause we’re so lost inside Don’t want to be rude or unkind But I’ve got to search for something you hide Take my hand, and lead me inside You don’t need to be scared Things won’t collide Cause I see you, I feel you I hear you, but I cannot connect to The real you, who is so true I stand by you, and I want to merge with you Let me draw a map of your mind Cause I wanna...

4hero: widely respected among music lovers and makers, but for some reason their music hardly ever gets performed by other artists. Why is that? I wanted to give it a go with this cover of 'Look Inside'. A song about finding your own light, when the world around you appears to become dark and gloomy. It's originally quite an upbeat drum&bass track, but I gave my version a different, somewhat laid...

A collection of soulful (mostly) downtempo tunes, to get in the mood for summer...which is almost here at the northern hemisphere. Enjoy, forgive my not-always-so-flawless mixing and let me know what you think!

Live looping with vocals and bass guitar. I'm feeling very happy that I finally recorded this song! It's an excellent composition with a quite basic, but strong arrangement. In my opinion, this song is just 'made' for live looping with my Boss RC-300 pedal: All you need is beatboxing, bass and lead vocals. TC-Helicons VoiceLive 2 adds a little touch up with the harmonies in the chorus. Let me know...

Soulful dance music most loved by me from 2016. This mix goes all the way from funky hip hop to energetic uplifting disco to deep vocal house, to a melancholy and peaceful end. All tracks were released or re-released in 2016. Tracklist: Giorgio Oehlers - Sunshine & Margaritas Mark Rae - Hold On (Rae & Christian re-edit) A Tribe Called Quest - The Space Program Jay Airiness - Hello KnG Edits - Give...

It was my intention to make an edit of this tune, but it turned into something completely different. I sampled a couple bars from D Train's The Shadow Of Your Smile, wrote some lyrics, turned them into a melody and recorded new vocals. I also added sounds from my Roland Juno 106 synthesizer. Not really sure how to call this type of music though...is it a remix with new vocals? A new song based on...

Are you ever ready to record a cover of your biggest musical inspirations? I guess not, but here I am anyway. This is a song about connecting on a deeper, spiritual level. So I chose for an intimate interpretation and simple arrangement. Thank you Minnie Riperton and Leon Ware, your timeless music is straight from the heart. This video is a live recording. The vocal harmonies you hear are made wit...

Also check out the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMcqT4WqLOM This is my rendition of 'Live Your Life', a song by Malaysian singer-songwriter Yuna from 2012. It's the first single from her self-titled album, produced by Pharrell Williams. Yuna's message here is heartwarming, so I kept the arrangement quite simple to let the lyrics stand out. Let me know what you think! I've recorded this tr...

To me, this song stands out as the best track from Massive Attack's album '100th Window'. Sinéad O'Connors lyrics are so pure and wise, I wantend them to be at centre and shine in this acoustic rendition. I hope you like it! "Say what your soul sings to you." It's about knowing that your are not just your thoughts, feelings and ego strategies, but so much more than that. Go and look behind them to...

Brilliant oddball funk tune from Brazil, by singer/guitarist/composer Pete Dunaway. His real name is Otavio Augusto Fernandes Cardoso, and he doesn't seem to be very well known outside of Brazil. So I can't tell you much about the guy and his music. But his song 'Supermarket' really stands out I think, and I found it worthwhile to make an edit and introduce his music to a broader audience. Many th...
