Luwten - Go Honey & Control | A SONGBOOK SESSION

This episode of Songbook features Dutch singer-songwriter Tessa Douwstra, better known as Luwten. Her name translates to “places without wind”, and her music is fueled by airy melodies, echoing instruments, and a gentle, melodic voice.
Despite appearing light as a feather, her intricate melodies leave a mark on the listener’s mind effortlessly. Coming from a space of maintaining ultimate artistic control in her earlier works, her 2020 Door EP explores letting in uncontrollable variables.
Door examines one of life's bigger emotional beats: how to reconcile a yearning for both solitude and companionship, a quandary the world of today is suddenly coping with on a massive scale.
For Songbook, Luwten discusses her songwriting routines and the stories behind the songs "Go Honey" and "Control" in the atmospheric location of Pier 15 Skatepark in Breda, The Netherlands.

Luwten has such a special sound. Great interview, great performance!

The harmonization at 11:14 is near vocal perfection. And you manage to present the concept of losing control in a way that is somehow soothing rather than chaotic. I have never heard anything so distinctly special before.
