An impressive change

To put it straight to the point: I have not been dealt with before this album Chakuza (because for Voruteile thanks EGJ and so ^^) and have it now only therefore done because Amazon has offered it a verschmerzbaren price. A lucky, because I enjoy the album nonstop ever since.

The album plays from the start to create an atmosphere, which attracts an immediately under the spell. The general mood is very heavily soaked in melancholy and has a similar effect as alcohol. First, the whole thing tastes bitter and you want to shake and really gets goosebumps. But you do not want to miss the positive side effects, so you drink more. And after three or four sips it always tastes better. The goosebumps has given way to a warm, comforting shower that runs down one's back. A familiar feeling, where you immediately feel welcome and well looked after. Over time one begins increasingly perceive these subliminal positive aura that leads this album with him.
With sound work-up and settlement of his life, especially the last 3 years Chakuzas. A Seelenstrip with thoroughly honest words and no euphemisms without any insults, swearing or else the like. Class, of something more please!

Chakuza was with him and his work in dispute, as there are many people in her life, tells of his initial zwiespältigem relation to its new home in Berlin ("emergency landing at Berlin"), his alcohol problems, a small tribute to his ex-girlfriend ( to begin "Hollywood Love") or generally the will a new stage of life and the Old hintersichzulassen ("I run"). These themes determine the entire album and every song treat those very themes. Might sound boring in the long run, but it's not. Chakuza manages with his production team, which consists of Steddy and Stickle that (gesignet as Chakuza at Four Music) already for the sound on the XOXO album of Casper were responsible for creating a new soundscape for each song, the make each song in itself a highlight and so will never be bored. My respect at this point!
The problems, worries and concerns, like a red thread through the entire game length of 49 minutes ultimately result in tracks like "hourglass" or the final "all good" that conclude with the last 3 years and a new, positive initiate era in Chakuzas life. After listening to the album, you can treat him and hopes to see further albums from him.

"Magnolia" has surprised me more than positive. An album that can not be perfect as a companion for the forthcoming autumn. Everything right with his move from EGJ to Four Music!

My Anspieltipps would Windmills (my personal favorite), I run, head underwater.
