"Every Word is a Spell": In Conversation with EARTHEATER on Childhood Dreams, Motherhood and the Universe Words by Nicole Atieno, Photography by Emil Dietrich Childhood dreams stay with us our whole lives: deep desires within us that drive us forward, fill us with hope, and to which we cling but which we also sometimes have to let go of with a heavy heart. But sometimes, just when we’re about to give up our dreams, the stars suddenly align and the universe surprises us. Last year, EARTHEATER was finally able to buy back her childhood farm, which her mother had to sell when she was a teenager. Now, her baby daughter will grow up on the same land she did. Becoming a mother can truly be a magical and transforming experience and – how she described – feel like an earthquake. In her newest album HEAVENLY BODY: IF I'M THE BOTTLE YOU'RE THE MESSAGE she has poured in all of her thoughts and feelings about the childhood farm, pregnancy and early motherhood. When asked about associations with the word 'Fräulein', she imagines a girl wearing a beautiful dress surrounded by the mountains and the sun peeking through the clouds right after a big heavy rain – the most beautiful description of 'Fräulein' we ever heard. In our conversation we talk about dreams and the universe and she tells me just how precious and lifechanging it is being the mother of her daughter, her greatest creation.
A New Chapter: In Conversation with CHARLOTTE CARDIN Words by Nicole Atieno Prior to her SWR3 New Pop Festival performance, we had a chat with Canadian pop sensation Charlotte Cardin, the voice behind hits like Feel Good, Confetti and Meaningless, as she gets ready to make her first appearance in Germany. With her highly anticipated third album on the horizon and a new era already taking shape through songs like Tant Pis Pour Elle and The Way We Touch, Charlotte is stepping into a new chapter. We talked about the parts of herself she’s had to unlearn, what she knows now that she didn’t when Phoenix came out, the women inspiring her right now, and what it means to bring her music to the SWR3 New Pop stage.

This time: Plein Sud.
Inside the first Fräulein x SJMT Kickboxing Class Words by Thiên Ân Therese Kunz, Photography by Eva Luise Hoppe Sport has always been associated with effort, strength and discipline. But we are also aware that sport can do more than just make us physically strong and help us build muscle; above all, it gives us inner strength. In martial arts in particular, there is a strong focus on your soul – a balance between external and internal strength. What exactly does inner strength mean? How can sport help us to feel confident and comfortable in our own bodies and to find peace of mind? How can it help us to feel confident and courageous?
