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.

My baby left today
He's outside, in the rain
Looking for you, for you, for you
My baby's on the street
Is it you he's gonna meet?
What can I do, I do, I do?

C-O-C-A-I-N-E

You're all he wants, how can I compete?
C-O-C-A-I-N-E
Must be in love with you, 'cause he ain't with me

He's a dick, he's a dick, he's addicted
To another lady
He's a dick, he's a dick, he's addicted
Bitch, you done stole my baby

I gave him milk and honey
You (you) just take all his money
He's a dick, he's a dick, he's addicted
And I don't know how to fix it
Ydemer ruoy ma I, ydemer ruoy ma I
He's addicted, ydemer ruoy ma I
And I don't know how to fix it

You're his new favourite treat
The reason he never sleeps
He wants to, do you, do you, do you
He's under your control
For you, he'd sell his soul
It's like voodoo, voodoo, voodoo

C-O-C-A-I-N-E
You're all he wants, how can I compete?
C-O-C-A-I-N-E
Must be in love with you, 'cause he ain't with me

He's a dick, he's a dick, he's addicted
To another lady
He's a dick, he's a dick, he's addicted
Bitch, you done stole my baby
I gave him milk and honey
You (you) just take all his money
He's a dick, he's a dick, he's addicted
And I don't know how to fix it
Ydemer ruoy ma I, ydemer ruoy ma I
He's addicted, ydemer ruoy ma I
And I don't know how to fix it

No, I won't let it slide, please believe me, I tried
I can swallow the lies but I still know the truth
If it's you that he craves I won't stand in your way
You're more than welcome to play but I won't play the fool

He's a dick, he's a dick, he's addicted
To another lady
He's a dick, he's a dick, he's addicted
Bitch, you done stole my baby
I gave him milk and honey
You (you) just take all his money
He's a dick, he's a dick, he's addicted
And I don't know how to fix it
Ydemer ruoy ma I, ydemer ruoy ma I

He's addicted, ydemer ruoy ma I
And I don't know how to fix it
