"Larger than life" -- such are the self-written songs on Mathilde’s new album Troublemaker. Through six compositions we get to know the singer: her characteristic desire for intensity and musical and dramatic counterpoint, enriched with experience and sense of humor -- the now sixty-year-old Mathilde has it all. Troublemaker is Santing's most intensely charged and confessional album to date. Her own songs are lyrical, with excursions to film noir soundtracks and the bête noire of Nick Cave. Mathilde effortlessly uses her vocal and emotional color palette -- fragility and strength, the ability to challenge and lure, she has it all. #Gender equality comes naturally to Mathilde, thanks to her personal experience in matters of bisexuality and feminism. “Same Old Story,” for example, addresses a #MeToo theme through the eyes of astrology: "Same old Venus, Same old Mars". With her music, Mathilde draws us into her magical world, where she surprises and captivates us. This same intensity also characterizes the two cover tracks: “River Man” by Nick Drake (after a poem of Emily Dickinson) and “The Tracks of My Tears” by Smokey Robinson.Troublemaker is an important next step in Santing's development from singer to a versatile musician, songwriter, bandleader, and performer. A musician. An artist. A songwriter. An idealist. A Troublemaker
