Out Now: Love's Crime
Love's Crime is a jazz ballad sung by Lieber Panos, with lyrics by Karina Ruby and music by Stefanos Kozanis. The track blends the intimacy of the Great American Songbook and Broadway tradition with a contemporary jazz sensibility, creating a timeless yet fresh sound. Its story draws subtle parallels with the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, based on an idea by Ólia Maria Dakogianni, giving the song a poetic depth that resonates beyond a love song.
Performed by an international ensemble — Stefanos Kozanis (piano), Karina Ruby (drums), Jimmy Bikos (double bass), and Jykä Ahola (trumpet) — the track captures the warmth of live jazz while offering a theatrical flair reminiscent of musicals. Lieber Panos delivers his debut performance with remarkable emotional honesty, making Love's Crime both buzzworthy and memorable as an introduction to a new voice in jazz.
