If Human Emotions could be described in the language of Jazz, Kamila Csenge's 'Behind the Universe' is what they'll sound like!

From falling in love with music as a kid in Nový Jičín to releasing her debut album, 'Behind the Universe', Kamila Csenge is anything but ordinary. A fellow Berklee scholar and a guitar enthusiast hailing from Prague, Kamila Csenge isn't just an artist but truly a force to be reckoned with when it comes to combining her love for academia with sound. As someone who holds expertise in multiple genres of sound, be it Latin, jazz or classical music, she not only graduated with accolades but also proved her star power by gracing multiple venues like Berlin, Boston, London and many more. From performing at venues to making media appearances with the Prague TV program Terra Musica, Polar TV and 'Reflex' magazine, to name a few, Kamila is someone who has got a hat full of different, vibrant experiences, which constantly shape her sound. Without further ado, let's get a gist of what this album feels like!

Kamila Csenge

What feels like a soul-stirring experience that feels like a multiverse of endless possibilities, 'Behind the Universe' is a finely curated masterpiece.

A rejuvenating deep-dive into the human psyche, 'The Void' feels like a beautiful acoustic moment of despair where we experience a unique sense of calm. Adding to the charm, 'Against the Wall' is a soft and surreal slow electric guitar instrumental that has got tons of surprising highs and lows. A sporadic moment of dreamy guitars that sound relaxing yet add a hint of spice to everything; this is rich, elusive and very ambient. Almost every track feels like a moment of escape. If I had to pick a favourite track, it would be 'Guardians of the Garden' because it's so low-key and soothing. In 'The Metamorphosis', you enter a realm of transformation, making you experience a world where one starts to morph into a new person, shedding previous patterns and adopting a new sense of self that feels one with their soul. Intense, passion-fueled, and explosive if used in the right context, this feels like the sound of a reckoning. 'The World', however, pulls you into its embrace of serenity. Reminding us how nothing is that serious at the end of the day, this feels like the sonic depiction of everything nature. Kamila takes us away from this worldly chaos with 'The Point of No Return', which blurs the lines between reality and fantasy. Overall, this entire album feels like a breath of fresh air, and a jazz experience that is way ahead of its time.
