Christian Steiffen - DAS GROSSE CHRISTIAN STEIFFEN OPEN AIR

With his current album "Gott of Schlager", the entertainer resorts to the stylistic device of understatement, which he perfectly stages and celebrates, and adds: "Words cannot describe me and this album. The term "Gott of Schlager" can only be an attempt, but will forever remain a crutch..." And of course he is right:
The first track already makes it clear that the holidays from rock'n'roll are over: "Hier ist Party" combines elements of classic disco music with modern spoken word. "Wie der Wind" is about freedom, digestion and transience, illuminated in a country song that reaches psychedelic spheres. With "Schöne Menschen" (Beautiful People), Christian devotes himself to the ugly face of the beauty craze from the Brothers Grimm to the present day. The autobiographical piece "Ich breche in die Nacht" describes a night and explores the contrasts of thirst and homesickness as well as nausea and society. "Verliebt Verlobt Vermartet Vertan" (In love, engaged, married, lost) is self-explanatory and is followed by the usual classic themes of German-language chansons such as marksmen's festivals, seafaring, New Year's Eve, punk music and of course carnival.
