German singer and songwriter Herbert Grönemeyer is, with all due respect, the of Germany. The days of his great success (from 1984 and one of the best-selling German-language albums ever) and (2002) are behind him. However, his audience remains loyal, partly because he moves with the times and at the same time remains the carried singer and the artist with the grand stadium-fähige gesture of
… yesteryear. His 15th studio album Tumult, for example, sounds completely contemporary with a solid production that is dominated by electronics. Striking are the influences from oriental pop music, especially in Doppelherz / Iki Gönlüm with the collaboration of the Turkish-German artist .

Grönemeyer convinces with this, with his always sincere presentation and his big heart in the right place. (MR)more
