A year has passed since we've seen Lena Meyer Ruth country for the first time on TV. At that time we did not learn about them as "Hi I'm Lena, I'm 18 and I live in Hanover." Before long it was clear this girl will represent Germany at the ESC in Oslo. So much charm could win. And lo and behold, Lena not only won the qualifying round, but won the Grand Prix also still the same - for the first time since Nicole early 80s - to Germany. Now, one year later, a confirmation for Lena at. Whether it works in Dusseldorf? I do not know, but rather tend to No. Although I certainly Raab the confidence that he 2011er titles marketed to Lena is again performing well.
clever line has reserved the king Lustig three evenings at Pro7 and ARD to the new album "Good News" by Lena to a wider public. Disguised as excretion, which of the 12 tracks Lena will perform in May in Dusseldorf. Clever, over six hours of TV advertising. Free! Since Tuesday is the new CD on the market, I've bought myself and report here about my impressions. Title for title, 1 to 12
"Good News" : A nice pop song, reminiscent of Adele and gives many positive emotions. The song is great harmony with the piano / keyboard. The alleged non-English is the opener to best advantage. Although I am indeed still wonder how a people (German), which is now in foreign languages is not necessarily known, will judge Lena's English ...
"What happened to me" : This song has Lena wrote yourself, he tells the story of her last year. From the time then, was in the country Lena Meyer Lena Ruth. The music Stefan Raab contributed. For the first attempt is really a lively pop song become, can realize the Lena vocally.
"A Million and One" : The song starts with a kind of chant. Then increases from moment to moment. Kate Nash sends his regards! He has quite catchy, the chorus is sung very high and the strings he gets a very individual touch. With the song for ESC Lena had some opportunities.
"Maybe" : Maybe has become a solid radio song a lot, but nothing more. Chorus hangs well, the slow pace but personally I do not like so much and makes it somewhat irrelevant. And I "forgot ... maybe yes or maybe not, i ups ..." this still find hearted.
"I Like You" : A kind of singer / songwriter songs with guitar. Ideal to chill out. I feel the song far too boring. However, if you on stuff like Jack Johnson and Co., is the likely match that number.
"Mama Told Me" : This song can be heard out after 15 seconds, who wrote it. Raab typical style, with winds and a great performance of the Heavy Tones. A bit of Motown groove, you know it. I personally like each not so. However, it must be said that it has become an absolute happy song.
"Push Forward" : The second song on the album by the producer duo Daniel Schaub and Pär Lammers. And in contrast to "Maybe", he proposes a truly like a bomb - I think at least. A great ballad, with nice vocal melody. Speaking of song, who sings still goes on, can not sing Lena, who simply has no clue about music. Clearly one of my favorite songs on the album.
"A Good Day" : Well, is it is possible. Droning to himself, a thousand times too. The chorus is quite successful, sounds determined on the radio well. Meets my taste, but not necessarily. I have left is this the only 20's sample ...
"Taken By A Stranger" : Baby it's a hit! My clear number one and I would hope that the German TV-audience show in 10 days in the ARD courage and search for this title for the ESC. Can explain the song, it is completely different on each case from all other titles. Egg bit reminds me of the title to The Cure. Mystical and stuff. Lena's voice does not even recognize you at first.
"Teenage Girls" : No, has nothing to do with Katy Perry. But somehow similar irrelevant. As has said Anke Engelke on Monday in their criticism: "The text is stupid." I see the same way, Stefan Raab and Lena have done with this song any favors, rather than as a Kinderliedchen a good song.
"That Again" : How can you say, a bit ... Swing? Or rather New Jazz? Or just elevator music? The track was, the refrain goes with the added "hoopla tratra tra ..." quickly pure and you are caught with the whistle along. The Heavy Tones do a good job with this song.
"At All" : A quiet end for the album, nice numbers - produced in the typical style Raab. The beat a bit reminiscent of Hip Hop, but the bottom line a bit too subtle.
And they were then already, the 12 new songs Lena. Who has the song for Germany show looked at Pro7, who're all already heard live. On CD (or in my case, MP3 player), they sound different live, some better, some weaker. All in all a solid album Lena succeeded, which was recorded by the heavy tone of confidence and Stefan Raab produces clean. Well, I gebs to: is the perfect album of the year, it has become. But it lacks musical quality, but it's an album that passt.Beschwingt perfectly with the current sunny spring days, carefree, light food, very catchy. All tracks perfectly tailored radio again, according to a couple of times containing very interchangeable. I, for my part found my favorite tracks on the CD, and are recorded at me straight into the hot rotation. Because let's be honest, albums rarely come onto the market, which is really top of each title. Seen in "Good News" has become extremely and fun. I especially because I really like Lena's voice and her way of simply refreshing find!
