Julia Scheeser - Kopfkino

Julia Scheeser is currently most celebrated for her work as a cinematic sync artist. The German singer/songwriter perfectly captured two Disney Princesses when she took on the role singing voice for both Belle and Jasmine in the German dubbed versions of the live action classics. Now ready to reveal her own artistic intentions under her own auspices, she has released the aptly titled Kopfkino.



There was never any doubt that Julia had the voice. Disney would not have approached someone without the magical tone to have undertaken two such definitive roles, but what is really wonderful about Kopfkino is that she is able to showcase her voice in a different way.

While her debut collection does feature three of the key Disney songs, with her Alexander Klaws's (editorial side note: surely a follow-up to 2014's album by the first Deutschland sucht den Superstar winner is long overdue) duet Ein Traum wird wahr proving the highlight of three featured, it is actually in her original material that her vocals shine the brightest.

Allowed to showcase her own bubbly persona within her material as opposed to living out the role of a well-established character, she is bright, breezy and very lovable popstar.

Although it is clear why the very immediate pop explosions of Choreografie and Drei Jahre were chosen as singles, it is in some of the more tender moments that offer the album's highlights. With unexpected echoes of Mathea's tone in the opening bars, before heading more towards early Yvonne Catterfeld's terrain, Flieg allein is tender and true in delivery. But it is the wonderful Zu uns zurück that is the song that could catapult her to the top of the charts.

Kopfkino is an all out pop album that sees Julia Scheeser blossom from sync artist into chart contender.
