princess4president is a project of pianist/composer Kaat De Windt, bassist Mirko Banovic, drummer Etienne Plumer and singers Naomi Sijmons and Annelies Van Dinter. The multicolored pop and jazz arrangements of the rhythm section form the basis for the idiosyncratic universe of Kaat De Windt’s compositions. Free jazz forms and minimal pop get the warmth of gospel and desert blues without shying away from rawness. The strong socially engaged lyrics of Elvis Peeters, among others, the penetrating voices of singers Naomi Sijmons (aka Reena Riot), Annelies Van Dinter (Echo Beatty), the grooves and sound palette of bassist Mirko Banovic (Arno, Arsenal), the fine and tribal percussion by Etienne Plumer (Rêve d’Eléphant, Animus Anima) and the idiosyncratic keyboard work of Kaat De Windt yield musical pearls.
