“Like a snail on a razorblade.”
That’s how a friend once described CARAMEL — a record that wraps warmth around sharp edges, without ever losing its bite. It’s the perfect image for CARAMEL, Liesa Van der Aa’s most intimate and fearless work so far.

Funny was written in just three minutes, and you can feel it. The urgency simmers beneath the surface, coupled with a seemingly effortless spontaneity. The song plays with contrasts: dark, yet lighthearted. The joker at the table who loses his way. It's a song about letting go of what you can't bear. About admitting you're temporarily at a loss—and making peace with it. Think FKA Twigs or Billie Eilish, but Liesa-style: sharp, original, and utterly honest.

Mark your calendars for Saturday, December 13th. That's when Radio 1 and STUK Leuven organize the "Radio 1 Night of Listening": a festive event where they'll treat your ears to music, poetry, and sound art.
