Olicía Out Of The Blue

Olicía, the band of the two exceptional singers Fama M'Boup and Anna-Lucia Rupp, floats between fragile folk moments, pulsating pop, avant-garde soul, spoken word and jazz...

Olicía is the band of the two singers and multi-instrumentalists Fama M'Boup and Anna-Lucia Rupp. Driven by two female voices, they share lead vocals and other musical elements, layering, beatboxing, harmonizing and create something totally unique in the process. The instrumentation ranges from synths and looped vocal snippets to guitar and clarinet. Genre boundaries have always been fluid for Olicía - fragile folk moments, pulsating pop, avant-garde soul, spoken word, jazz... However, Olicía's music always has a gently futuristic feel due to its unique form of creation using two synchronized loop stations. The two seem to practically override the constraints of loop-based music and create very direct songs with efficiency and elegance. They manage without preproduced backing tracks and always leave room for improvisation and chance. While debut album “Liquid Lines” explored the boundaries of the individual song, “Out of the Blue” is now an attempt to take a completely new look at their own art form, to connect their own music with other art genres through dialog and exchange.
