Antje Duvekot
Singer-songwriter, Antje Duvekot is poised to unveil her fifth
studio album, “New Wild West”, on September 15th. According
to Duvekot, this collection of songs marks the pivotal juncture
of mid-life and represents a new rung on the ladder of healing
from trauma. The songs on “New Wild West” signal a genuine
shift in Duvekot’s relationship with some of the enduring
themes she has grappled with over the years. “On the whole”,
says Duvekot, “my older songs sought to disarm trauma by
bluntly acknowledging its destabilizing nature and creating a
space in which to exist with that sensation, both for myself and
my audiences. In contrast, the newer songs have the teeth and
tenacity to openly confront and defy trauma. As such, I feel
very warmly towards this collection of songs. They are long
overdue dissidents”. Duvekot’s amplified voice in mid-life
carries a protective fierceness that resonates across the
album. Songs like “Girl on a Wire” and “Evolution” salute the
perseverance we all apply to our human journey towards
finding our voice. Duvekot says of hers, “I crawled into music
as a protective vessel when I was a teenager. It lent me safety
and allowed me to stay open and let in more continuous
sunlight than I could have, otherwise. I want to pay back that
loan. Many of the songs on ‘New Wild West’ do that”.
