Lia Pale

Lia Pale - Woman & I

Born in Wels, Austria, Lia Pale has become one of the most distinctive genre-defying voices of her generation. In collaboration with Swiss composer and arranger mathias rüegg, she developed a unique sound between the tradition of the art song and jazz. Her widely acclaimed reinterpretation of Franz Schubert’s Winterreise laid the foundation for this artistic path.

With Woman & I, Lia Pale releases her new album at the end of May 2026 – and for the first time turns fully to her own music. In the emptiness of a new beginning, in a sense of free fall, songwriting emerged – not as a plan, but as an anchor - a way of returning to herself. With a packed old Saab and a Wurlitzer in the back seat, Lia Pale set off for Amsterdam – a journey into the unknown from which Woman & I eventually emerged.

The songs developed between Wels, Vienna, Amsterdam, and The Hague. Some parts were recorded in The Hague, others live on the stage of Vienna’s Porgy & Bess, together with Hue Blanes, Miloš Čolović, and Ingrid Oberkanins. Additional layers – flute choirs, backing vocals, and instrumental colors – were added later in a small quiet room downtown Vienna, piece by piece, layer by layer.

The music moves between jazz, pop and classical, carried by an intimate instrumentation of voice, choirs, Wurlitzer, bass flute, flute and percussion. Together with double bassist Lukas Traxel, pianist Jean-Paul Brodbeck and percussionist Ingrid Oberkanins, Pallanch brings his vision to life on stage.

» For me, this step marks my transition from performer to composer and is certainly my most personal project to date «
