1. a singer songwriter, … Read Full Bio ↴There are at least four acts called Kovacs:
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.
I Better Run
Kovacs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The fear in my eyes, it steers you, see?
Control, but I'm not his slave, no
Start your war 'cause I'm running free
I better run, run
Running, running
Faster than the bullet from a gun, gun
Run before he pulls it down, it's dawn, dawn
Running, running, running, running
Shouldn't live in fear 'cause I'm having fun, dawn
Running, running, running, running, running, running
Let's go, we're nothing to save, so
No time to stop, no time to sleep
Oh no, he can't have my soul
It's mine alone, and it stays with me
I think I better run, run
Running, running
Faster than the bullet from a gun, gun
Running, running, running, running
Run before he pulls it down, it's dawn, dawn
Running, running, running, running
Shouldn't live in fear 'cause I'm having fun
Running, running, running, running, running, running
I better run, run
Running, running
Faster than the bullet from a gun, gun
Running, running, running, running
Run before he pulls it down, it's dawn, dawn
Running, running, running, running
Shouldn't live in fear 'cause I'm having fun, dawn
Running, running, running, running, running, running
Fear
Fear
Fear
Fear
I think I better run, run
Running, running
Faster than the bullet from a gun, gun
Running, running, running, running
Run before he pulls it down, it's dawn, dawn
Running, running, running, running
Shouldn't live in fear 'cause I'm having fun
Running, running, running, running, running, running
I better run, run
Running, running
Faster than the bullet from a gun, gun
Running, running, running, running
Run before he pulls it down, it's dawn, dawn
Running, running, running, running
Shouldn't live in fear 'cause I'm having fun, dawn
Running, running, running, running, running, running
I should live in fear 'cause I'm having fun
Dawn

Новое европейское джазовое открытие, голландская певица и автор песен Шэрон Ковакс родилась 15 апреля 1990 года в Эйндховене и начала петь раньше, чем говорить. Музыке в детстве она не училась и даже бросила основную школу, чтобы пойти работать. Но пение для нее всегда было на первом плане. Она слушала много разных исполнителей – Билли Холидей, Этту Джеймс, Нину Симон, Эллу Фитцджеральд, Дину Вашингтон, Тину Тернер и Дженис Джоплин, как говорит сама Шарон, «я слушала певиц-личностей, тех, кто действительно жил свою жизнь и чьи эмоции слышны в их голосах».
Работая официанткой в одном из баров, она однажды приняла участие в вокальном конкурсе «Открытый микрофон» и сорвала овации, а после этого последовала добрым советам и пошла на прослушивание в Rock City при музыкальной школе в родном городе. И была принята в число студентов, исполнив пару песен своим темным проникновенным голосом.
Затем было знакомство с продюсером Оскаром Холлеманом, который получил от нее через интернет образцы раннего творчества и был поражен глубиной ее «черного» голоса: "Обычно я не слушаю такие вещи, но от скуки послушал и был завербован этим голосом. Когда я встретил ее, она выглядела совершенно иначе, чем я себе представлял. Хотя ее голос звучит невероятно «черно», она - белая девочка с бритой головой. Я был полностью очарован, и поэтому мы начали сотрудничать". В дополнение к их сессиям в Голландии Ковакс совершила путешествие в Гавану (Куба) и сотрудничала с местными музыкантами в Egrem Studios, и эта работа повлияла на окраску некоторых вещей с дебютного альбома, где слышны кубинские ритмы.
Не без трудностей Шарон закончила музыкальное образование, так как ее устоявшаяся манера пения создавала для педагогов определенные трудности. Они не знали, что с ней делать и даже советовали уйти и поискать более подходящее занятие вне стен учебного заведения. Однако упорство Шарон, а также ее постоянные поиски самовыражения привели к определенным успехам. Сейчас в ее багаже есть достижения: ее сингл «My Love» достиг верхних позиций чартов в Голландии и Греции, а видео набрало более 13 млн просмотров на Ютубе. Она участвовала в нескольких джазовых фестивалях, в том числе Eurosonic Festival в Грингине и Ziggodome в Амстердаме, и Bospop and North Sea Jazz Festivals.
Первый альбом Шэрон Ковакс – "Shades of Black" (Оттенки черного), дата релиза 24.04.2015, лейбл Warner Music Group Germany GmbH.
