SUMMARY:KOVACS at Scala - Sunday 23rd May 2027 - 7:00 pm until 11:00 pm 
DESCRIPTION:KOVACS\nDutch singer Kovacs — the voice behind 2023’s Child
  of Sin\, which featured a duet with Rammstein’s Till Lindemann — rele
 ases “Leave the Sun Behind” on August 28\, the second single in a new 
 chapter that began earlier this year with “A Perfect Crime.”\nKovacs: 
 “Where its predecessor explored the blurred space between memory and ima
 gination\, ‘Leave the Sun Behind’ turns towards a different kind of me
 mory: a nostalgic farewell to the carefree summers and innocence of youth.
  It is a song about growing older without completely letting go of who you
  once were — capturing the strange beauty of looking back at a world you
  can remember vividly\, but can never return to.”\nMusically\, “Leave 
 the Sun Behind” continues Kovacs’ exploration of electronic music whil
 e retaining the brooding atmosphere and unmistakable intensity that have a
 lways defined her work. Drawing energy from the raw intensity of Berlin’
 s clubs\, she carefully explored how to merge it with her own distinctive\
 , soulful voice. The journey led her back to the roots of early electronic
  music: old-school electro and futuristic 1970s-inspired sounds\, with cle
 ar nods to pioneers like Kraftwerk.\nThe music video for “Leave the Sun 
 Behind” continues the visual world established with “A Perfect Crime.
 ” Once again shot by renowned director of photography Martijn Broekhuize
 n — a longtime collaborator of Anton Corbijn — and directed by Jiske R
 ijkels\, the film builds on the raw and cinematic visual language of its p
 redecessor.\nWho is Kovacs?\nKovacs broke through in 2015 with her debut a
 lbum Shades of Black\, partly recorded in Cuba\, which charted in 36 count
 ries and produced the European hit “My Love” — a Bond-like tango noi
 r track that hit number one in Greece and the Netherlands. That year she a
 lso won an Edison Pop Award and played North Sea Jazz\, Glastonbury\, Szig
 et\, Rock am Ring and Pinkpop.\nHer second album\, Cheap Smell (2018)\, le
 aned further into raw\, personal songwriting. Her third\, Child of Sin (20
 23) — released on her own label\, Wolf Recordings — featured Rammstein
 ’s Till Lindemann and wove in a Turkish gypsy ensemble\; it became the h
 ighest new entry on the Dutch Album Top 100. She has since toured sold-out
  venues across Europe and Asia\, and continues to take her music to less e
 xpected corners of the world: upcoming dates include Cyprus\, Kazakhstan\,
  Romania and Turkey.\nWith “Leave the Sun Behind\,” Kovacs opens a new
  chapter — same voice\, new sound.
