Composer - Germany

For many years, I have been successfully collaborating with Evi. During this time, many beautiful songs have been created, such as “Heimweh im Dezember” or “Ich träum heut Nacht nur von dir”. Evi’s lyrics have always fitted harmoniously into the music I composed. I believe we both always had a lot of fun inventing new melodies together with beautiful lyrics. I hope that we can continue to inspire our listeners with our music. Thank you so much, dear Evi, for your wonderful lyric ideas. Warm regards from Frankfurt am Main.

We worked together on a number of songs for Rudi Giovannini. Evelin was attentive, available, open to suggestions and in short a good team player - which was essential to get a complicated international project finished on time and in a good atmosphere.

Those who don’t just let music wash over them, but truly listen to what a song is trying to tell them, quickly realize this: Evelin’s song lyrics are different from the usual material we know. They are not a uniform blend of sun, beach, wind, sea, and complicated love stories. Deep, heartfelt, coherent, refreshing, honest, and enchanting – that is Evelin’s perfect mix for her unique lyrics.

Dalton R. Thompson

Evi has an incredible ear for both songwriting and emotional truth in music. Working with her was not only inspiring, but genuinely educational. She has a way of hearing what a song is trying to become and helping guide it there without ever overpowering the artist’s voice. Her feedback was always thoughtful, honest, and constructive, never generic praise, but real insight that helped me tighten my lyrics, strengthen my structure, and trust my instincts more as a writer. She created a space where it felt safe to experiment, refine ideas, and grow. I’m truly grateful for the time she spent reviewing my work and the care she put into helping me become a better songwriter. Anyone who has the opportunity to collaborate with her will gain not only a talented musician, but a supportive and insightful creative partner.

I have come to know Evelin as a truly warm and loving personality, who with her talent and passion holds a unique place in the world of music. She does not merely write words, but weaves them into melodies that touch hearts and make emotions tangible. What moves me deeply is that Evelin does not keep her great heart to herself, but shares it with others – in friendship, in collaboration, and in her art. Her professionalism goes hand in hand with genuine humanity, making every collaboration with her feel like a precious harmony of trust, inspiration, and creativity. I can wholeheartedly recommend working with Evelin. Her work reflects mastery and sensitivity, but above all a soul that breathes music and spreads love. Thank you, dear Evelin, for who you are. I wish you abundant happiness, love, and health. You are a song that never ends.

Born In Boots is a popular radio show on Curtin FM (Perth's community radio station), hosted by Brendon T, focusing on country, roots, and Americana music. The show featured Evelin Vordermeier's song "My Palomino Girl" (performed by Joe Im Winkelried) as part of its playlist or spotlight segment. This airplay is a significant milestone for Evelin, showcasing her lyrics reaching Australian listeners through a respected local platform known for discovering and promoting heartfelt, story-driven songs. This exposure highlights the song's emotional resonance and cross-genre appeal (blending tender romance with a country feel), helping build her profile in the Perth/Western Australia music scene while her international work continues to grow.

Jens Christensen

As a music producer, composer, and songwriter, I work with many artists, but collaborating with Evelin is truly special. Her exceptional linguistic power, creativity, and stylistic versatility have elevated our work together to a new level. Together, we've already created numerous songs across various genres, including projects with former Boney M singer Madeleine Davis. Evelin's lyrics inspire, support, and elevate every production. For me, she is one of the most remarkable lyrical voices I've ever had the privilege of working with.

Rudy Giovannini Fanclub Neckar Alb

Hello Evi, Your lyrics have something truly special about them. They are not ordinary lines like those heard in many songs, but words filled with genuine meaning and inner depth. You can feel that every word is chosen consciously, lovingly, and with emotion. These words come from the heart—and that is exactly why they reach people’s hearts as well. With you, melody, emotion, and lyrics come together in a very natural way. They touch because one can find oneself in them. They allow the listener to feel along, open the heart, and offer moments that invite reflection. Your words stay with you. They linger, continue to accompany you, and leave behind a warm, loving feeling that one carries within for a long time.
