Real differently ...

... As real. That's the first thing that struck me about Kim Franks CD -Hellblau-. Point two was that the disc has come out somehow before their time. 2007 was the market when it comes to German music of this kind, by far not as popular as today. Who knows ... Perhaps this explains the flop of the album in terms of sales figures. -Hellblau- Is in any case, Kim Franks teen music time as frontman of real a few steps ahead. With Frank's old image of the coveted girl swarm that pubescent girls fell to the ground powerless at the sight, -Hellblau- has nothing to do. Adult, serious, neatly arranged, but here and there with amiable playfulness comes the shekel Native Flensburger therefore.

Playing tips: The single release -Lara- offers very large orchestra, and everything that goes along with strings so. Yes ... that sounds then still a bit for real. -If You is I heat a wonderful song that is driven with guitars and strings vehement forward. -Two Summer has a wonderful beat and Frank's voice adapts a brilliant. For this purpose a few wind instruments and a melody that quickly goes into the ear, what more could you want? For -Alt and copious Frank's voice, some guitar plucking and a realistic text is enough, so that one takes a liking to the song. -Berlin- Is a soulful ballad full of heart and pain. My favorite song on -Hellblau- is the bouncer -Abspann-. No better way to end an album. A little discordant and moving Frank sings through his problems. This has real class.

-Hellblau- Has to be there at that time not make a commercial success. But it does, at least to me, absolutely nothing. If you like new German music, like may also hear in this three year old album again into it. Who knows ... maybe one in 2007 saw some things somewhat differently, noting only now that you missed something.
