This CD is perfectly produced ... it only remains to be seen how the follow-up album that in September 2006 the appear, will classify high. because - unlike in this album - are personally written the numbers of her and her band.
back to black and white ...
Christina Stürmer is in Austria already for 4 years of the most successful pop artists since Falco. dortzulande are already three albums of casting discovery par excellence appeared. said these albums (freefall, should really be anything ?, really all!) sold more than 200,000, which is an almost unthinkable sales figure for a population of 8 mil.. in Germany, however, remained unknown woman striker by early 2005. That changed when the universal song "I live" (the first song of striker - in Austria for months at the top chart) newly produced. I was living a lot more rock, and also female striker voice had evolved tremendously. and as might be expected - Strike! Germany loved the song. and even today can "I live" still a smile on every face to conjure. album black and white. "(a bestof of the published already in Austria albums - but newly produced) that followed the single, was not of lesser success, quickly turned out to be" black and white "a top secret for German rock lover and was so it's just a matter of time before the album in the long play top 3 was catapulted. The album reached the way in the annual charts, a top 10 ranking ... recently the 400,000th CD went on the counter ... a mad profit for striker and universal.

Track 1:
Are you with me?
one of the brand-new songs, which were still pressed on any disk. Surprise: lyrics and music are from Christina Stürmer and the band itself beautiful, quiet opening track.. some claim that the song similar to "last train" sound of Silvermoon, the direct of the two songs you can listen to at any rate not detect parallel and hear.

Track 4:
Angels fly alone
second single release in Germany, mainly in Germany chart unsuccessful, published in Austria at the same time and for single of 2005 won an Amadeus Award (Austria echo). nice quiet, pensive song. many criticized the text that listen at outlying does not make sense. when one is dealing with the text: beautiful poetry!

Track 6
4 seasons
another new song! also this is the work of Christina Stürmer & Band. thoughtful rocking song.
Track 7

Single number 4 in Germany. Chart moderate a flop, but a wonderfully beautiful rocking version, which is the album unfortunately withheld. some electro-heavy - so not typical.
Track 8
Mama (Ana Ahabak)
single number 3 in Germany, and probably for "I live," the most famous song. on the charts reaching the title number 11, is acceptable. nevertheless: beautiful song, pakender text, which deals with the war. in Austria, incidentally, 9 weeks on the chart peak.

Child of the Universe
wonderfully thoughtful song, invites you to dream. particularly rock (on the "never enough" single as a bonus) Recommended!
Track 10

Nevertheless, in Austria for weeks at number one. rocking, defiantly, as we like christina ...
