Pop

A "piece of gold" from Regensburg will be in stores in March 2017: The first album by "Sofie's Loft" promises 45 minutes of the finest German pop with catchy tunes. "Everything goes, because your world is turning, everything flows and nothing stands still" - with this message lead singer Felicitas Klein and guitarist Claudia Pörsch start into new worlds of German-speaking pop music.
The twelve original compositions of her debut work are a very personal hymn to love, freedom and happiness, inspired by the recurring question of what really counts and stays in life. On stage together since 2012, the two thoroughbred musicians are now touring throughout Germany and presenting their multifaceted repertoire: powerful, rousing and full of charm. Her fans will soon be able to take her home via CD or download – “Let life be great cinema”.

"Time to Change" - With her debut, the singer phoeNic advocates a different way of dealing with our planet.
With the album "Time to Change", composed and produced by Conny Conrad, phoeNic shows a wide range not only thematically but also musically and vocally. Epic ballads alternate with danceable songs and catchy melodies. Borrowings from Scottish folklore as well as the fascinating soundscapes of natural sounds make the album a listening experience - but above all phoeNic's voice, which has the opportunity to show all its facets - from lyrical and touching to rough and energetic.

From the broad German music scene, an outstanding new project is now smiling at us: Loth Milz has completed his album "Schön für Dich, if it's true" after his single "You're still alive or you're already using the Siezt". Incidentally, Loth Milz is made up of the first four letters of his first name and his mother's maiden name.
Lyrics and music have one thing in common: a moody groove mixed with thoughtful lines that make you wink. Nine unique songs were created. The clear messages show that behind supposedly fine facades, not everything is "in the Loth" after all. Self-deception and cover-up appear daily - Loth Milz lets us take part in his revealingly whimsical journey of discovery.

Vintage sounds with hints of 60's psychedelia, lyrics inspired by the poètes maudits and the figurative art and a desire to be heard, despite the difficulties facing artists today are the distinguishing features of a band which in a year and a half has used the web to make its way into public eye with two self-produced videos views more then 35,000 times.

Yvi Wylde sounds like David Lee Roth meets Marie Fredriksson under the disco ball. That's what the Westfälische Nachrichten from Münster thinks.
In fact, Yvi Wylde turns every musical taste inside out with her glam rock disco blues in the spin cycle. On "The Supersonic Karma" Yvi Wylde and her band charmingly remove everything traditional from the blues, garnish it with all the sound escapades of the eighties and at the same time target the glittering funky disco scene of the seventies - with a fat wink, of course. Some snotty guitar playing à la Hendrix and a few jazz licks to go with it? Hell yeah!

Wirfürwen return with a new record more head-on than ever and leave no one behind without a mischievous smile. The result of the collaboration with producer Uli Wortmann (Kleinstadthelden) is a clear, catchy and driving document of their time together.
Lines like "I'm not a doctor, but I know a few patients" stand out in the German-speaking indie scene. They are embedded in haunting guitar riffs, beats striving for a new beginning, sophisticated bass lines and funky synthesizer and piano parts. The almost forgotten harmonica sets the tone. The dirtier sound lets the foursome sound as if they have changed, despite the unchanged line-up, when a dance part follows, free from fear of contact and selective pathos, before one is allowed to relax in a laid-back number after a lot of dancing legs.

The young Celle artist Tonja alias "Der To" (www.derto-musik.de) has been making German-language music since he was 16 years old. With the catchy melodies and honest lyrics, he cast a spell over his listeners right from the start, so that the fan community grew steadily. In 2012 his debut "Gute Reise" was released and a year later his second album "Auf das Leben".
This year follows with "What are we waiting for" album number three, which will be released in spring 2016 and will be touring extensively throughout Germany with "Der To" and his band. Again there are pop-rock songs that people can identify with. Everything is there: from melancholic, thoughtful to rocking, danceable. "Der To" finds its own personal way to the ear and heart of the listener in every song.
In Celle, "Der To" has been known and loved for a long time and is represented at many concerts and festivals. But even beyond Celle's borders, he is receiving more and more invitations to various events on large and small stages. "Der To" is accompanied by his bandmates Dirk (bass), Ralf (drums), Holger (keyboard).

For his 80th birthday he lets it rip again with a new song: "You make me courage (at this time)" is a homage to his audience, who in the hardest times "in the fight against lying professionals" ("always rush , don't file long, cool for cool headlines") always stood by him and was "more than just an audience" even in difficult hours. The song was placed in various hit lists (eg airplay charts and number 1 of the NDR 1 Lower Saxony hit parade) shortly after the preliminary internet release.
The refrain is catchy and should encourage everyone who, like Dieter Hallervorden, doesn't want to go along with all the newspaper canards, war-enthusiastic reporting and every reason of state ("You don't have to, don't you see, be anti-American") and oppose the mainstream. The text was written jointly by Dieter Hallervorden, Isaak Herzog and Johannes Hallervorden, who is also often on Facebook with a sharp tongue. The music comes from the Thuringian musicians of the rock band EMMA, who, like Hallervorden, didn't have much to laugh about in the GDR. What can't be said about this song.

"A touch of France Gall, a hint of Feist. And of course with charm!” After studying jazz in France, Carole Martiné, who was born in Paris, decided to move to Berlin in order to realize her own musical project there. Gathering her memories, experiences and feelings, she began to write stories into autobiographical songs. "In French, because it's more natural, and in English, because sometimes you need a bit of distance and because it just sounds so good!" The focus is clearly on the voice, her instrument, an "access to my soul" with which She sets words in motion and likes to play with them: high notes, whispers, improvisation... She lets gentle Rhodes chords sound as accompaniment here, distorted guitars hiss and a hip-hop groove sometimes hides in between.
Thanks to many influences and inspirations, Carole moves freely from jazzy chanson to folk ballad. She simply calls her style: "Frenchy Pop". Delightful and yet profound, familiar and yet surprising: Carole enchants her audience with her versatility. Your secret? Maybe her natural, spontaneous way. Or as they say so beautifully in French: "La vie est une chanson, chante la!", which means something like "Life is a song, just sing it!"

Joga Club makes pop, which slowly but surely paves its way towards indie with the third album "Kolibri". Piano, synthesizer, accordion and polyphonic singing provide the right pinch of romance. The quintet put their heart and soul into their ideas for the successor to "Mosaik Musik" for two years. The result is a colorful album that lives up to its namesake.
The lyrics immerse the listener in little stories, situations and ideas: the first moment after waking up, the second look at life so far, the last night with friends, the before-before-before-last evening in paradise...

Anyone who experiences "Jail Job Eve" live sees and hears a force of nature, stormy and passionate, with a sound that powerfully steps in front of the cardboard. The five Osnabrück musicians play rocking power numbers and picturesque blues pieces full of exciting sounds and stories. In their two-hour show, Victoria Semel (vocals), Benedikt Schlereth (guitar), Jens Niemann (keyboards), Laurenz Gust (bass) and Josef Röhner (drums) set off real fireworks.
"Bird Of Passage" is the name of the energetic debut work by the Osnabrück blues rock band. The seven self-confident songs convince with a rich, organic sound, inspired by the dynamics and complexity of the 70s.

"Finally something different", "unexpected", "refreshing" are feedbacks that NRT often counters. Listeners who are “fed up” with their usual listening experiences, be it dark wave, synth pop, alternative or indie, are positively surprised by the combination of style elements.
In addition, the band turns away from the widespread, typical verse-chorus structure in most of the songs and thus provokes an interest and the "compulsion" to listen, which often falls by the wayside because you "know" what expected one.
NRT on the other hand: Quiet parts to "endure", build up tension through long intros, unexpected bursts of energy and suddenly dance rhythms.

One could say that Robert Redweik is the James Dean of German music. Thoughtful, emotional, always in the now and never completely free - except on stage, in his music. Therefore, for him, being a musician is not only his dream, but also, in a way, his liberation. Just like acting for James Dean. Realistic enough to enjoy life, they are both. "Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today” James Dean once said. Here we come full circle.
When you ask Robert Redweik about James Dean, you get a surprising answer: “My godfather Franz Xaver was not only like a second father to me, he also introduced me to music. He was my James Dean, cool guy, bon vivant who I learned a lot from.”

Cancer, organ donation, death and madness - not exactly catchphrases that lure you to a fun evening in the theater? Not even close. Tante Doktor, a band of musician doctors and creative physicians at the University Hospital Gießen, process their experiences and impressions from everyday clinical life, medicine and the colliding worlds of a medical microcosm at the hospital bed on their current album "Bipolar". Born as a companion band to the medical cabaret "elephant toilet", Tante Doktor has gradually established itself in the niche between socially critical and alert satire, touching language art and captivating sound poetry with its own full-length program. A partly disturbing, consistently captivating and palpably real insight into the emotional world behind and under the smock. Tante Doktor promises an intensive evening without a waiting room and with a wide range of symptoms. From a lump in your throat to a sore laughing muscle to the delayed danger of reverberation.

“What at first appears to be a threat for a hypochondriac turns out to be first class during the first listening impression. Such strongly vocalized medical poetry is a punch in the pit of the stomach, but certainly bizarre enough to captivate the listener with a certain degree of fascination.” (www.lieinthesound.com)

"If the lyrics are about life and death, the rather unfunny, painful themes are congenially implemented with the means of folk, singer-songwriter, swinging jazz and gnarly indie." (www.schallgrenzen.de)

After the 2008 album Wooden Houses, which still has constant sales figures, Isgaard and her producer and fellow musician Jens Lueck are now coming up with a new work. The album, mostly recorded between October 2011 and January 2012, is called Playing God and features 11 songs that are like musical stories; Stories that are sometimes striking, sometimes quiet and full of tenderness and where there are always things to discover "between the lines".
Some songs are much more intimate than many songs from the previous album and Isgaard's vocals sound fragile, almost vulnerable and direct, whispering in the listener's ear. "Sad or thoughtful topics often move me more than anything else," says Isgaard, and she conveys that directly with her voice.
But other influences are also new to Isgaard's music. Musically, the 70s were perhaps the most important years for pop and rock music (according to Jens Lueck) and shaped the two musicians on their way. Elements from this period can be found again and again on “Playing God”. Ethnic, world music as well as avant-garde and classical influences are further ingredients, because both musicians abhor boundaries in music. Isgaard's voice also shows new facets, sometimes you can hear it in "unusually low registers", but that also suits the small woman with the big voice excellently. “Playing God” – an album on which there is a lot to hear…. preferably with headphones!

Laura St. Jude (born April 2, 1992) is a singer, songwriter and musician from Glasgow, Scotland. Laura is a romantic realist. Digging the depths of melancholy without succumbing to the banalities of self-pity, she shows her listeners that amidst all the darkness there is always hope. Laura will soon be releasing a 7" with two A-sides on Off Label Records, recorded and mastered at Green Door Studios in Glasgow. It will feature "I Can't Stop Loving You" and "Yours to Destroy" , both written by Laura St. Jude Over the past two years Laura has toured extensively with the rock 'n roll band The Amazing Snakeheads in England and Europe, providing guest vocals, guitar and percussion, culminating in support shows for Jack White in Paris and London. Along with frontman Dale Barclay and her life partner, she co-wrote The Bullfighter, a b-side to the Amazing Snakeheads.The Bullfighter was released in 2014 on Domino Records.

He has played with international top stars on the same stage, such as Miriam Makeba, Joe Zawinul, Alpha Blondy, Lucky Dube, Jimmy Cliff, Ziggy Marley and Rita, U Roy, Durlinger, James Brown, Joe Cocker, CeCe Rogers (Jestofunk), Bobby Bird ("Sexmachine"), Lalomie Washburn (backing vocals on James Brown, Shakka Khan). In 1999, Prince Zeka produced his first album, M'Zee Waka, an album that enabled him to break national borders and also made him famous in Germany and Switzerland. In 2007 he released his next album "Maturité". With this album, Prince Zeka presents 16 songs, which were rightly summarized under the title "maturité" (in German: "maturity"): Musically and thematically mature, this record beautifully brings new life to tired ears! It refreshes listening habits, and with it perhaps preconceived notions about “African music”. With his unmistakable style of "Makoul", which can best be classified as world music, Prince Zeka conveys messages of solidarity for Africa.
In 2012, Prince Zeka surprised again with the extraordinary album "Ecoutez", which this time he dedicated to his homeland, the Dem. Rep. Congo. In 15 songs he refers to both the enormous wealth and the multiple exploitation of his homeland. The title song "Ecoutez" is about the daily atrocities of the war in the Kivu region, in the east of the country. He condemns the rape of Congolese women by the "M23", a rebel movement from Congo and the neighboring countries of Burundi, Uganda and especially Rwanda.
Prince Zeka is a highly creative songwriter: he has written and composed over 100 songs, from hip hop to reggae, from rumba congolaise to soul. In his songs, he addresses the complex aspects of the African way of life, both the beautiful and inspiring forms of culture and the cruel shadows of corrupt politics.

Alex Kappler's musical career began on the Internet. If you enter your name in the search mask on the "Youtube" Internet platform, you will hear soulful and authentic new interpretations of well-known songs. As soon as you hear their music for the first time, the fragility of the entire work appears as their greatest strength. Powerful, self-confident and yet tender, she sings her way into the listener's head.
After changing schools, the current student began to compose her own songs, mainly to prove to herself and everyone else that she can make her biggest dream come true. The result was the album "Move On", which was worked on for a whole year. A big help was Alex Gruber, who comes from Bavaria and conjured up great songs from the singer's lyrics and basic melodies. The record was recorded and produced in the "Recording Hill Studio" in Schönsee.
Nine songs of various genres, from calm to groovy, from ballads to rock songs - that's "Move On".

Everyone connects their own stories with their homeland: The first visit to the stadium, wild youthful sins, first love, big and small catastrophes, unforgettable moments, friendships for life and so much more. The places where we experienced all of this make "our home" a magical spot that will always remain a part of us. It makes us a bit of who we are and what I am: that's what the north made of me!
A song for everyone who feels as connected to their home as I do. // Carsten Pape

After the calls of the desert, the voices sound far away. From a deep blue bay comes the muffled sound of anxious poetry trying to fight against the screeching of the wildly circling seagulls. Shrouded in loneliness and self-doubt, an old fisherman carries his story to the beach, embeds it between the wet rocks with trembling hands.
Between the melancholy of cool summer nights and the desolation of gray winter days, the five new songs on the Flares EP by twenty-year-old Steve Luxembourg were created. The musician, who lives in Paris, Freiburg and Braunschweig, presents his pieces individually and universally, which move through a soundscape shaped by folk, electronic and indie rock with a high recognition value.

The bassist and pianist Andreas Müller started playing the piano at the age of seven and started playing the violin at the age of ten. He did his first sound research on the piano in his parents' basement at the age of thirteen, where he began using a cassette recorder record.
This cassette recorder became a faithful companion and was also his best teacher. Even before studying music at the Amsterdam University of the Arts in Hilversum from 1992 to 1998, he played in various bands and projects. The CD "What a day" with four piano pieces is now being released and an artistic making-of video on the label "Tiefton Records".

With "Known from film and television", the "medlz" present their most versatile record to date. From the idea, through the choice of songs and production, to the final implementation of layout issues. The 4 filmmakers took everything into their musical hands and now hold an enchanting piece of film history in them. Bine: "We've tried a lot in the 15 years of our band's history. Some crowned with success, others less so. But each of these steps was important in order to be where we are today. Now we are a band with an unmistakable sound and always new concept albums. And this time our passion led us to the subject of film and television. "As original as possible, as emotional as never before and as convincing as ever!" "Known from film and television" is a somewhat different view of film history.
From well-known melodies such as THE BOOT, THE PIRATE OF THE CARIBBEAN, HIGHLANDER or FORREST GUMP, to insider tips, such as the emotional ballad from the film WIE IM HIMMEL to 4 original compositions on the subject of film. This range of genres makes the album very varied and yet incredibly personal. You can also hear the long-standing friendship with the a cappella band Maybebop, because they lend the medlz their voices in a duet they composed themselves. Only the screenplay for the film has to be written. Maria: “This record should be more than just a cover album. We sat together for a long time and philosophized about the common thread and the implementation. That was worth it."

In the songs of newcomer solo artist James Ocean, all the crushing ballast of life dissolves and escapes from every pore on sheet music in a pleasantly painful way. Because what you would otherwise not dare to say can be expressed much better in song lyrics. Melancholy and confidence merge, music becomes the best friend and worst enemy at the same time. Because the alternative rock of his songs also gives incredible power in its own way. And so, with the album "Paint Your Perfect Day", James Ocean has conjured up a unique composition for his listeners and himself to cleanse the soul in all situations.
Every sound hits the absolute middle between powerful hot-bloodedness and ice-cold disillusionment. You want to burst with grief and at the same time scream with audacity, "No matter what happens, I'll keep going!" James Ocean represents all the breadth and tolerance that music brings or should bring with it. A world of emotions that unconditionally devotes itself to every chord.
You can identify with the music so well because it shows the normality and at the same time the uniqueness of every life story: closing with a love that cannot be closed, loss of self-confidence, despair. But music is like blood running through your veins to keep you alive. And this conviction is reflected in every second.

With "Waterfall" Hilde Kampen-Wilczek has fulfilled a wish. She decided to record a CD with her bandmate and longtime friend Otmar Kolbeck. Since he would sing just like Hilde herself, the vocal part of the CD was "secured". For emotional accompaniment, the two decided on an instrument "that touches the soul", the piano, the recording of which Dimitri Geiger (piano teacher) and Wilhlem Kampmann (also a band colleague) share for the most part. What is special is that the 12-year-old daughter also recorded a piece by Hilde. The pieces contained on the CD correspond to a "waterfall of feelings" - there is a song for almost every mood.

Many people in Hamburg know him from HSV, where he and his friend and partner Lotto King Karl have been greeting football fans in the stadium from a crane with the song "Hamburg meine Perle" for exactly 10 years now. This has given the two a real cult status, which is known far beyond the borders of Hamburg.
But many people all over Germany also know him from his former band Clowns und Helden, who landed more than just a normal little hit with the hit "I Love You". This track has been playing in discotheques and on the radio for over twenty years. Now he has returned to his roots. Carsten Pape has made a new album: "The Swimmer's Loneliness"! Carsten Pape attaches particular importance to one thing. "You hear a band here and not a singer who is simply accompanied."
The songs were worked out together and you can feel that when you listen to them. But what awaits you? Can you characterize the album in a few words? "The best thing, I think, is to quote a good friend of ours to whom we recently played the album: The album gives me a melancholy that makes me dance!"

They have been touring almost everywhere in Belgium, now Pale Gray hits the international road. Their first album Best Friends has seduced both the press and the audience with its combination of indie pop, abstract hip hop and electronic. Midway between Notwist, Alt-J, The Whitest Boy Alive or Metronomy, Pale Gray offers a universe which is groovy, atmospheric and eclectic, while retaining its own strong identity.
Early in 2012, the quartet shut themselves away in its home studio in order to toy with their instruments and record their first album called Best Friends. Surrounded by vintage keyboards, guitars / bass and drums machines, they have gathered their ideas and desires on a dozen songs that range from ethereal pop, abstract hip-hop to indietronica.
Accompanied by Anthony Sinatra (Piano Club, Hollywood Porn Stars) who worked as a producer, they completed the record at the Studio 5 in Liege and Oliver Zülch (13 & God, Notwist,...) and Raphael Wynands took charge of the audio mixing. The resulting album, resolutely modern, keeps a pop immediacy while trying to explore new and innovative paths taken by experimental music, hip-hop or post-rock. Best Friends will be released European wise in the beginning of 2014 through the JauneOrange label.

Kulikumba, a new group in the music world. Who is behind the name remains a secret. Kulikumba is a ghost group, like Klaatu in 1975. Even then there were no photos and no details. Kulikumba wants to remain unrecognized and still convince with sophisticated and above all critical texts. The music speaks for itself. It will not be easy to reach a broad audience, because the music is unconventional and not subject to the mainstream. An insider tip for enthusiasts. Here you really have to listen, Kulikumba doesn't offer music to sprinkle. But it's worth listening. In Message for the Soul, the group sometimes takes you away from reality into unattainable spheres. Then again, the past teaches us about the future. German rock as a challenge for the listeners. Just Kulikumba!

Characterized by singer-songwriter, folk and pop styles, pianist and singer Franziska Potyralla aka Missilia releases a life-affirming, joyful debut album with "Metanorpos". The musicians have been touring Germany under the pseudonym "Missilia" since 2010 and have been able to attract a broad audience at over 150 concerts in Saxony, Thuringia, Berlin and various festivals. Their individual sound should captivate the listeners again in 2014, as part of an album tour, and take them on a joyful sound journey. A video for the single "A Better Day" was also shot to coincide with the release.

Miss Rockester alias Silvana Mehnert, known as the singer of the nationally and internationally known a-cappella pop band "medlz" from Dresden, embarks on strong solo paths. 12 songs that not only go in well, but also come out damn well live.
The connecting element on this disc is her changeable voice. From tender empathy to womanly rock voice, she navigates the listener almost playfully through her different song spheres. A record for everyone - from energetic to melancholic, from electronic to classic, from rock to balladesque, from LOUD to quiet and last but not least from English to German. All this without ever losing sight of the big picture of the work. Pop music is not reinvented here. Here, with great attention to detail, the full potential is drawn from. From 2014, Miss Rockester will go on tour live and will definitely set one or the other catchy tune. Having fun at the perfect show.

Music editor Jaques Period (amateur internet radio music alternative magazine "Le's fantes", Bad Gandersheim): "And of course we also have to talk about your new double single, 'Radio' and 'Control'. Honestly, imaginative song titles aren't exactly your forte!
Tifty (singer nezzer): "That's not right, because..." Perio'de: (interrupts harshly) "...well, heard it a thousand times! Did Joy Division, and not only them! You guys are always so Joy Division anyway. Say everyone. Totally out now. And I googled that, the song title is over 15 thousand times. Pretty weak stuff. Very weak, so weak!
Murphy (bass player nezzer): "Be glad that we don't just sing about love, love, love." Perio'de: "Yes, yes, I am too. But still. Although... I actually really like the songs. Got hooks, loud guitars, cool effects, zeitgeist. are hits. Can you drive a car and it's still somehow indie and also rock. And: unembarrassing. And: awesome cover!!"
Tifty: Yes, very cool cover. Extremely cool cover! Overcover!!!!”
Marco (guitarist nezzer): "I did it!!"
Philipp (also guitarist nezzer): "Crap title, cool cover, what's wrong with you? It fits. Better than the other way around.”

dAVOS are back more than impressively with the album "I Could Sense a Tragedy" and have not lost any of their well-known and valued esprit on their ninth release.
Mastermind Michael Ruin has invested heavily in his existing machinery over the past year and a half, while frontman Eric Nelson, who hasn't lost any of his singing charisma, dug deep into the literature box together with the third man Matt C.. Nothing for the crowd, but a must for everyone with heart and mind, loosely based on Curt Goetz: "All people are allowed to think, but many are spared it."
