Press release –
For SERAINA TELLI, the stage isn’t just an addition to the music – it’s the center of it all. Whilst many artists perfect their songs in the studio, for SERAINA, the most crucial elements only come to life live: in the moment, between the band and the audience, between energy, chaos, and magic.
With her new live album, the Swiss singer-songwriter and performer captures precisely these moments – honestly, directly, and without a safety net.
“The true quality of an artist is revealed live.”
Consequently, this album is not intended as a by-product, but as the essence of what makes SERAINA TELLI who she is: authentic performance, musical dynamism, and the sense that every evening can be different.
Anyone who experiences Seraina Telli live soon realizes: this isn’t about perfection at any cost. It’s about intensity. About connection. About those rare concert moments that can’t be planned – when a song suddenly takes a new direction, when the audience sings back every line, or when a room falls completely silent for a moment.
“We’ve been playing certain songs for hundreds of shows – and yet something new keeps happening. You can’t create moments like that. They only happen live.”
The new album captures a band at the peak of their career so far. Following three successful studio albums – Simple Talk (2022, No. 2 in the Swiss album charts), Addicted to Color (2023, No. 1), and Green (2025, No. 1) – SERAINA TELLI now showcases the aspect of her sound that it all boils down to: the live show.
Musically, she remains uncompromising. Powerful rock meets emotional moments; big hooks meet intimate simplicity. Songs are reimagined, rearranged, and sometimes completely transformed for the stage – including spontaneous moments that only arise when musicians and audience share the same space.
SERAINA TELLI sees herself first and foremost as a songwriter. Her lyrics speak of self-determination, courage, and not losing sight of one’s own path – especially in an age of constant sensory overload.
“You’re bombarded with so much every day that sometimes you don’t even know which way is up or down anymore. I want to show that there are still artists out there with genuine intentions.”
You can hear that – and, above all, you can feel it.
The Swiss singer-songwriter has long been one of the most distinctive voices on the Swiss rock scene. The media have described her, amongst other things, as Switzerland’s best rock vocalist (St. Galler Tagblatt) or a “one-woman powerhouse” (Rockflesh UK). With tours across Europe and the USA, as well as support slots for acts such as Bryan Adams, Steel Panther, Monster Magnet, and CoreLeoni, SERAINA TELLI has built up a steadily growing international fanbase in recent years.
Onstage, she is never alone: her long-standing drummer Mike and bassist Lukas form the powerful backbone of a live experience that is far more than just a rock concert – it is a holistic, emotional experience.
“The autumn tour feels like the next chapter – one that I’m not writing on my own.”
This live album is therefore, above all, one thing: a statement. Not polished. Not overproduced. But exactly what happens when music truly comes to life.
