1. a singer songwriter, Sharon Kovacs, and her band, based in Eindhoven, The Netherlands
2. a six-piece band from Liverpool, United Kingdom
3. a band from Leeds, United Kingdom
4. a producer Nandor Kurtossy from Hungary with the pseudonym Kovacs
1. Kovacs from Eindhoven, The Netherlands, is singer-songwriter, Sharon Kovacs, who signed a contract with Warner Music in 2014. She uses Kovacs as her artist's moniker and also refers to her backing band as Kovacs. Kovacs has a soulful voice with hints of Beth Gibbons, Shirley Bassey and Edith Piaf. She is inspired by Etta James, Dinah Washington and Nina Simone. Her full-length début, Shades Of Black (Spring 2015) contains a mix of 'night club soul', jazz and R&B.
2.Kovacs (Liverpool) are a six-piece consisting of one Canadian, one Irishman, two Brits and two Norwegians. Since their first experimental fumblings in late 2006, they have armed themselves with Megan Kovacs’ quirky compositions and set out to carve their own niche in the UK music scene. Kovacs is a band not limited to any particular genre and will appeal to anyone with a taste for music off the beaten path. Their influences range from Rachmaninov to Rufus Wainwright, from Gogol Bordello to Isis, and they are continuously expanding their musical palette.
3. Kovacs (Leeds) came about when Clodhoppa fell in love with breakbeat. After a jaded period synapses were tweaked and feet got itchy to move again when the whole 'nuskoolbreaks' thing happened, pushing the dancefloor in a different way. As some of the Clodhoppa tunes stepped out of the 'chill' arena, Kovacs stepped in. Taking the same attitudes but digitising itself and pushing up the tempo. A release on Cone Records followed, the 'TWOCA ep' with remixes by Platinum Mules and Wax Equestrian. Hot on the heels of that came Midnight Records. Seeing Kovacs' deep and dirty approach to breaks they asked for remixes to compliment their deep house stylings.
4. Kovacs is the pseudonym of Nandor Kurtossy, the young Hungarian producer. He started making music in ’96, so nowadays he has his own massive musical archive including his works under the name Kovacs as well as the rest of his side projects like Savages (downtempo), Vega Ass (funk breaks), Cockchafer (trip hop). The pseudonym Kovacs covers dirty jazz mixed with sensual electronica. What he simply calls “nu-jazz”, however, is proved to be much more beyond its common meaning.

Kovacs Lyrics

Now it's bottoms up, good times
Roaming the streets
You're all mine
50 ways to wreck, get in line
Sneak up and attack, it's all fine
Here we go, time to show
Oh my darling, hear me howling
I'll slice you to the moon
I can be a witch, a bitch, a murderer
Show you the tricks, the kicks I prefer
So I leave my note and hit the road
And roam
50 shades of black and red wine
Now it's bottoms up, good times
Roaming the streets
You're all mine
50 ways to get, you to whine
Then push comes to shove, a bad sign
Rolling the dice
The moon shines
49 who's next, honey need to confess
I'll make you cry like a baby in my blood staines dress
50 well is you, are you ready to die
Say a little prayer on your last goodbye
Oh my darling, hear me howling
You'll never leave the room
I can be a witch, a bitch, a murderer
Show you the tricks, the kicks I prefer
So I leave my note and hit the road
And roam
I can be a witch, a bitch, a murderer
Show you the tricks, the kicks I prefer
So I leave my note and hit the road
And roam
"50 Shades of Black" by Kovacs is a song that captures the singer's dark side. The lyrics are about exploring one's own darkness and stepping into the wilder side of life. The title, "50 Shades of Black," is a nod to the infamous "Fifty Shades of Grey" franchise, but Kovacs's song is much darker and sinister. The singer describes an evening where she indulges in red wine and lets loose in the streets, letting her dark side take over.
The lyrics suggest that the singer is not afraid to let her dark side guide her actions, even if it means causing chaos and damaging relationships. The line "50 ways to wreck, get in line" highlights her willingness to cause pain and destruction. There is also a sense of ownership over her actions, with the line "you're all mine" suggesting a possessive nature towards the person she is with.
The chorus repeats the line "I can be a witch, a bitch, a murderer," which reinforces the idea that the singer is willing to embrace her dark side and even revels in it. The song ends with the ominous lines "Say a little prayer on your last goodbye" and "You'll never leave the room," suggesting a potentially fatal outcome for anyone who crosses the singer.
Overall, "50 Shades of Black" is a hard-hitting song that explores the idea of embracing one's own darkness and living life on the edge.
Line by Line Meaning
50 shades of black and red wine
Exploring the dark, dangerous side of life with alcohol
Now it's bottoms up, good times
Drinking to have fun, forget the pain
Roaming the streets
Wandering aimlessly with a sense of danger
You're all mine
Possessive attitude towards a lover or victim
50 ways to wreck, get in line
So many methods of destruction, choose one and follow along
Sneak up and attack, it's all fine
Ambushing and hurting someone without remorse
Here we go, time to show
Demonstrating the true depths of darkness within oneself
My dark side
The twisted and evil parts of one's personality
Oh my darling, hear me howling
Seductively threatening to harm the listener
I'll slice you to the moon
Intending to harm the listener with no limit to the extent of the damage
I can be a witch, a bitch, a murderer
The singer is capable of being cruel and harmful in many ways
Show you the tricks, the kicks I prefer
Determined to inflict pain in the most effective way possible
So I leave my note and hit the road
Departing the scene of the crime without consequence
And roam
Continuing to live a dangerous, unstable lifestyle
50 ways to get, you to whine
Inflicting pain on someone until they complain
Then push comes to shove, a bad sign
Things will escalate to violence and danger
Rolling the dice
Taking chances and risks without concern for the outcome
The moon shines
Emphasizing the darkness and danger of the night
49 who's next, honey need to confess
Constantly seeking new victims and forcing confessions from them
I'll make you cry like a baby in my blood stains dress
Threatening to cause extreme pain and humiliation
50 well is you, are you ready to die
Ultimately, the listener will be the victim and will face the consequences of their actions
Say a little prayer on your last goodbye
The only relief from the artist's wrath will be death
You'll never leave the room
The listener will be trapped and unable to escape the singer's wrath
