KURT MALOO “THE CAPTAIN OF HER HEART” MEGA HIT- SWISS SINGER-SONGWRITER-COMPOSER-MUSICIAN-RECORD PRODUCER

ZOOM EXCLUSIVE SPECIAL EDITION WITH RAY SHASHO

Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I’m your host Ray Shasho.

In the 1980s, as one half of the brilliant pop duo Double, Kurt Maloo coauthored and sang the most enduring hit Switzerland has ever produced: “The Captain of Her Heart.”

“The Captain Of Her Heart” remains a firm favorite and is still part of Maloo’s live repertoire. Internationally the most successful Swiss song of all time and regularly makes it into the jazz and pop download charts throughout the world. The song captures the moment when a woman realizes she can no longer wait for the man who has won her heart, but must move on to a new life, “as the day comes up.” This melancholic optimism is central to both Maloo’s poetry and his music.

 “Off The Record” is Kurt Maloo’s latest project a collection of songs released on an EP starting with volume 1 released in 2023 and volume 2 released this year. Reviving his 1966 Fender Strat and singing in Spanish (for the first time) on one of the songs, might not be what you were used to hear on his previous albums. But the new songs will constantly grow on you. Their fresh and intriguing atmosphere is providing the perfect background for Kurt’s warm and comforting voice.
