«Open My Gates» marks the Swiss Singer’s first single release of her upcoming debut-album «Secret Seed». The piece was self-produced by Bollinger in collaboration with David Odlum (Sam Smith, Glen Hansard, Paloma Faith and others). Andrina's musical world, which reminds you of artists like Fiona Apple, Kate Bush, Half Waif and Moses Sumney, meets an energetic mixture of music, poetry and performance, telling stories from her deepest inner self: personal changes, psychological research and lyrics inspired by nature and fine arts. In the center of this wild but also humorous performance lies Andrina Bollinger's uniquely earthy, velvety voice which moves gently between singing, shouting and humming.
Next to her playing keys, Telecaster guitar and percussion instruments as well, she’s accompanied by drummer Arthur Hnatek, bass player Jules Martinet and keyboarder Alvin Schwaar. Percussionist Julian Sartorius appears as a guest musician on the song "Open My Gates".
Andrina played at renowned festivals and venues like the Café de la Danse in Paris, the M4Music Festival in Zurich, the Cully Jazz Festival or Winterthurer Musikfestwochen and appears as a guest feature on the song She's The Moon (feat. Andrina Bollinger) on Erik Truffaz last album Lune rouge. Furthermore, her songs got played on international radio stations like “FIP Radio” France or “Amazing Radio” UK .
