Watch Arlo Parks’ incredible performance of "Weightless" at the #rbf23 Opening Concert.
It took less than three years from the first demo recordings Arlo Parks sent to BBC Music Introducing in 2018 to her award-winning debut album: “Collapsed In Sunbeams” (2021) catapulted the British singer-songwriter onto all the playlists of the major streaming platforms within a few weeks with tags such as “alt pop”, “neo-soul”, and “bedroom producer”. Today, the introspective poet with the breathy timbre is considered one of the visionary artists of her generation, puts on breathtaking shows at the Glastonbury Festival, and still knows how to stay true to herself and her DIY attitude. And with Arlo Parks, this is no empty phrase; rather, it is the modus operandi for the woman who now releases music on Transgressive Records but who nevertheless imbues her signature sound with an irresistible indie charm in terms of vocals, instrumentation, and production. With her new album, “My Soft Machine” (2023), she has proven with sentimentality as well as sovereignty, with stylistic certainty as well as eclecticism, that she knows how to realise and develop her very own style independently of the norms of the streaming era.
This performance was recorded on Sept 20 at the Reeperbahn Festival Opening Concert 2023.

Schau dir das Reeperbahn Festival Opening Concert mit Arlo Parks hier an!
Von den ersten Demoaufnahmen, die Arlo Parks 2018 an BBC Music Introducing schickt, bis zu ihrem preisgekrönten Debütalbum vergingen weniger als drei Jahre. „Collapsed In Sunbeams“ (2021) katapultiert die britische Singer-Songwriterin innerhalb weniger Wochen auf sämtliche Playlisten der großen Streamingplattformen, die mit Tags wie „Alt Pop“, „Neo-Soul“ oder „Bedroom Producer“ versehen sind. Heute gilt die introspektive Poetin mit dem gehauchten Timbre als eine der visionären Kunstschaffenden ihrer Generation, realisiert atemberaubende Shows beim Glastonbury Festival und versteht es trotzdem sich und ihrem DIY-Gestus treu zu bleiben. Das ist hier keine Floskel, sondern modus operandi in Kurzform für eine Frau, die mittlerweile zwar bei Transgressive Records veröffentlicht aber dennoch einen unwiderstehlichen Indie-Charme ihrem signature sound angedeihen lässt - in Vocals, Instrumentierung und Produktion. Mit dem neuen Album „My Soft Machine“ (2023) beweist sie ebenso sentimental wie souverän, ebenso stilsicher wie eklektisch, dass sie unabhängig von den Gesetzmäßigkeiten der Streaming-Ära ihre ganz eigene Stilistik realisiert und fortzuentwickeln versteht.
