Nena looks with this album both back and forward

Oldschool (Deluxe Edition) (Audio CD)

Customer Review

Nena has secured the support of Samy Deluxe for the production of their new album. And this cooperation contributes now on "oldschool" fruit whose taste so could not be necessarily expected.
The former icon of the German New Wave tried with "old school" looking back to reflect on the one hand, the coolness of her youth on interesting rhetorical Art and processed simultaneously their current age more or less serious way. And this conflict of emotions suppressed "oldschool" damn uncompromising.
Because on the one hand, the Nena, which is still popular in the music business after nearly 35 years and their musical career to the here and now to itself which pays homage to fashion sketches, without referring this case the title track of the album "Old School" in the now past years , Supported by Nena se unusual electro beats, take the already elements of Funk in itself, Nena strikes cheeky way the "old school" chapter.
And even in the following tracks is producer Samy Deluxe fully on electronics and a kind electric hip-hop. One always has the feeling that these sounds can not belong to Nena songs, because it has not yet been given in this intensity at Nena. And Nena itself hammering the song about the sounds that it's just as crashes. Time content quite cheeky, sometimes slightly distorted and always somehow between winking and realism.
Content, the lyrics of the songs are certainly not perhaps in the run-awaited big hit. There is little socially critical, hardly political approaches or references to current world events. Rather is "old school" a kind of autobiographical retrospective of an artist who is not only proud of their Geleistetes but also on their appearance and age and which can also cope.
But in addition to all the new influences and the sometimes over-emphasized musical Jugendwahn to Nena remembers then in between their old and timeless qualities. Thus, for example with "Teen Job" so wonderful punk, as it was also at the very beginning of her career in the NDW style. And also with the beautiful ballad "A word" or the beautiful and enchanting melodic "magic" enchanted Nena timelessly.
And so is "old school" a partial getting used to but impressive journey through time, both in content and music. Never before a united Nena album so many styles and never was Nena on a single album so different in their vocal performances.
In addition to the normal edition is there also an "old school (Deluxe Edition)" with four bonus tracks that rival the normal album songs in nothing. The album contains many hidden nuances and you have to "old school" actually heard until several times before the album his true quality are increasingly price.
Nena looks with this album both back and forward. And so the singer once again underlines its position as a legitimate exception successful German singer of the last three and a half decades.
