From Schlagermuff into pop business

With the exception of the Germanized cover songs of ABBA, Streisand and Blondie, Marianne Rosenberg had in 1989 rather lean years behind it: Your last German chart hit "Marleen" in 1976 was back 13 years old. Then the cooperation with comeback specialist Harald Steinhauer gave (he had already Juliane Werding helped a few years earlier from obscurity and brought to Gold and Platinum consecrations), and he succeeded in "Marianne Rosenberg 2.0" - long before there was a digital world was. Unquestionably, Joachim Heider has "the Rosenberg" quasi invented and supplied in the 70s with countless hit singles, but apart from the LP "Songs of the Night" had never been able, a "music artist" to make of it. That worked only with Steinhauer, and from then on it was no longer about the breathless search for the next hit, but the establishment of total works of art in the form of whole albums and an "artist" instead of a "singer". It would be interesting to know how the career of MR would be lost, it would not "We will burn the night" and, if the two follow-up albums. Because at that time you apparently also managed her own artistic emancipation - it was not only (together with Marianne Enzensberger and Rio Reiser) from now on mainly responsible for their texts, but finally went regularly on solo tours.

But still remained at the time the "comeback single" incredible 7 months in the German charts on. That was out of "songs of the night" before (and after) granted any Rosenberg title. So the album from beginning to end a varied overall concept, producing timeless and has even in 2014 created any patina. A silent number, but the most beautiful of their time, "And my smile will follow you". I'm afraid I would have never been interested in MR ("He belongs to me" etc. annoyed me in my youth rather, they were the music of my parents), it would not have given this grandiose minor number. Inga Humpe contributed not only the title "And forget the time" but also the background vocals. "You have to be no miracle for me," Bouncy-light and very well managed. With apparent ABBA reminiscence and the emotional Mark aptly Text Author legend Dr. Michael Kunze Particularly noteworthy is how the vocal performance of the artist developed: no bulky vibrato more, no kitschy Kolloraturen embedded in pompous choirs, but with sober elegance and delicate purism she gives her voice skillfully a contemporary international touch. "We will burn the night" laid the foundation of the second career of Marianne Rosenberg and lifted her from the Schlagermuff into pop-Biz. Outstanding ... and only surpassed by the successor and you can not do anything about ....
