Jeder Spielt die Rolle seines Lebens

Description

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