Her performance at Colours of Ostrava will focus primarily on her album Obyčajnosti. Still, fans can expect to hear some of her well-known older tracks, including those captured in a beautiful live recording from her Živá album. Known for her unwavering quality, Jana’s work is further enhanced by the talented musicians with whom she surrounds herself.
In a way, Jana Kirschner shares similarities with Róisín Murphy. Both are connected by Eddie Stevens, who started working with Róisín during her Moloko days and has since been by Jana’s side, both as a musical collaborator and a life partner. These two musicians now also share some of the same musicians. The trio known as Mad Mad Mad, which performs with Róisín, also worked with Jana on Obyčajnosti during the pandemic. This album celebrates the simple pleasures of daily life – moments like enjoying a warm cup of tea or a delicious coffee. In Jana’s melodies, these moments come alive through a lush musical language that is perfectly minimalist, conveying emotions with just the right amount of simplicity. It’s already clear that Jana’s performance at Colours of Ostrava will be nothing short of extraordinary.
