~ Alt-pop-noir ~ Selma’s music is largely characterized by a feeling of melancholy, with a healthy dose of anger and fury. Fragile and powerful at the same time, she surprises with original melodic lines and changes in dynamics. Her voice with a wide range can blow you away. Edgy lyrics and captivating live performances top it off. Her music is a unique blend of genres. It combines alternative pop-noir with elements of folk and punk. There’s a hint of Mediterranean and gothic music. You may call it art-pop, you may call it dark folk. She has created a sound that is both unique and timeless. Her songs are deeply personal and often touch on themes of feminism, sexual freedom and self-discovery, dealing with adversity and of course the torments of love. Her music is greatly inspired by – amongst others – PJ Harvey, Chelsea Wolfe, Emma Ruth Rundle and 16 Horsepower. Since almost two years Selma performs with bass player Iris van Huis and drummer Sophie Neijts.
