Jeder Spielt die Rolle seines Lebens

Description

All of this is worth nothing! ...or is it!?That is exactly the question Berlin-based singer and songwriter ALEX MORGEN asked himself in spring 2020 when he released his debut album "Vom Siegen & Scheitern" shortly before the start of the Corona pandemic. At the time, Schallmagazin wrote that "the rough, raspy voice combined with pure guitar playing would convey exactly the emotions that are often overlooked in polished studio productions" and therefore called his album "Lebendige Musik".This exact authenticity and character have always been very important to the singer-songwriter in his songs. The question of whether it is still worth recording an entire album in these fast-paced times, where everything depends on the playlists you end up on as an artist, never arose for the Berliner. For him, the true class of an artist is reflected in the quality of their albums and only secondarily in individual songs.So during the first lockdown, MORGEN locked himself in his home studio and wrote new songs. With producer Christian Kreutzer, the two of them recorded 13 songs over the following two years. Different genres were incorporated stylistically, but oriented towards the sound of the 80s. Somewhere between Bruce Springsteen, Herbert Grönemeyer and Eddie Money, embellished with a modern touch à la "the Weeknd", the album's own character "Chacun joue le rôle de sa vie" finally followed.
