Biography

DÖRTHE DROTHEN was born and raised in a tranquil small town near Düsseldorf. Music became her lifelong passion at the tender age of 13. With her gentle voice reflecting tales of love and enchantment, the vocalist began penning heartfelt lyrics, delighting audiences far and wide. In 2020, she took a monumental leap in her musical journey, releasing her debut album “Prologue”. Recorded with just her voice and a piano, it poignantly reflects life’s myriad emotions and captivates listeners with its raw vulnerability and soul-stirring narratives. Building on these experiences, DÖRTHE DROTHEN refined her songwriting and devoted herself to the present Jazz Pop album “Enamoured”. With the opener and the first single “Shades Of Your Heart”, she has created a very catchy tune. Where there is sun, there is a shade. It’s about accepting and loving both sides of the heart. This song calls to love every facet of the heart and not be afraid to show them. British videographer Andy Pilkington (i.a. FM, Visionatica, Uriah Heep) produced a charming lyric video perfectly emphasizing the message of this romantic song. Next is the warm-hearted second single “Making Time” describing the moment when a person enters the room and the sight of whom makes you so happy that you stop what you’re doing to spend time together. DÖRTHE DROTHEN swings easily and lightly here, revealing her lovingly catchy vocal side. The person who inspired the lyrics of “Simple Words” may never know the profound impact those simple words had. In “Do I Need To Be Somewhere”, the fascinatingly graceful singer imagines herself sitting at the beach and listening to the sound of the waves. Without any media or distractions. Just enjoying life and nature. This ravishing ballad is pure deceleration. Delicate piano sounds paired with the meditative voice in interplay with the sound of the sea show that LoFi also works perfectly without electronic sounds. DÖRTHE DROTHEN shines here with a slightly upbeat vibe that invites listeners to tap their feet while enjoying a cheerful break from everyday life. The third single “Out Of Sight” describes the state of being enamored and is staged in the music video produced by Toby Wulff with wonderful dance performances. The final single “Hot Chocolate Mocha Latte“, with hit potential, is an invitation to turn a coffee break into a party. This is precisely what the highly danceable song, with its cool beat and rousing vocals, encourages, while the music video, also produced by Toby Wulff, skilfully captures the positive energy of the track.
