Songs who donate joy, songs that enjoyed taking up, songs that, more than just a homeopathic dose, confidence or even fun with the basic tenor. The stable entertaining pop stylists Carsten “Erobique” Meyer and Jacques Palminger drive an 18-track double album on the subject as songs for Joy.
In 2009 the two had already published a work entitled Songs for Joy, again this time it was a hands -on program – born out of texts that Erobique & Palminger had sent after a call. It was recorded in the Immanuelkirche in the Veddel district of Hamburg, with children’s choir, singing actresses, professionals and amateurs.
The spectrum: the main thing is wide and connecting (no techno), there is a fellow snap anthem on scouts (“You are happy to help, Supercool, you are modern, supercool … Scouts like to live in the forest / scouts”), a soul ballad (“neredesin”), a “disco scooter” (sic!) And also a “harmony” (sic!) Schmidtchen-Schleicher-Schleicher from the Jukebox pub (“The Last Tram”)-all in the unpretentious orchestra sound of new hundred and sowing. The company was “reluctant to love”, the authors say, we hear (gladly).
