From the ruin of what was once exceptionally beautiful voice

Roland Kaiser, a singer who dominated the music market in the 80s to right
presents a new album that should disturb every friend of this artist - putting it but eloquent testimony about the ruin of a voice from which I had not expected to this extent.

Now, it is by no means so that I would not feel Roland Kaiser as outstanding singers in pop segment. He had a number of major hits, a variety wonderful ballads at a high level and a team that tried and always with success, this exceptionally good pop voice to do justice by appropriate song material. He is still on some level - notably in the east, his upcoming tour focused almost exclusively on the - successful and knows how to present themselves modestly and also very personable as he recently put it again in the TV test. Furthermore, he distinguished himself by always a particularly good voice, which finished weaker pieces, a high recognition value and possessed over significantly from those of his colleagues took off in volume, expressed as well as specific timbre.

Here in particular, I fasten my almost limitless disappointment. From the above outlined expressive voice that was able to cast a spell in a fascinating way, is hardly anything remains: The unique timbre is perdu. Certainly this may be due to a marginal part of the condition of the singer, but is expected to mainly be due to factors whose exact assessment eludes naturally an accurate assessment. Add to that the excellent Songschreiber- as well as production team was mainly the 80s replaced by Jack White, who nutmegs mostly arbitrarily-meaningless Mitklatschsongs on beer tent level and heaves the artists on this same level, to make it as mass appeal as possible. Regardless of Roland Kaiser, this former exception the German pop firmament, has the characteristic aspects of his vocal brilliance almost completely lost, ie the unmistakable visual aging process (which he no serious person is accused) has the voice not spared - on the contrary. Although the Jack White-typical Mitklatschsound distracts a bit, but he can this fact, particularly in view of a ballad like "You Wonderful", the full vocal use and requires the lost nuance promotes mercilessly days, not hide. The play reveals a singer whose vocal Zenit is exceeded mercilessly and requires the whole cornucopia studio technical Schnicknacks to come reasonably "make ends meet".
Almost unbearable but the vocal apparatus, especially in deep pitches as the unwittingly ambiguous title "I've had enough", which is given the voice of a decline embarrassment that almost shattered, which is second to none and probably was technically no longer be corrected. For me it is completely incomprehensible that such a skilled, intelligent professional like these artists accepted songs that convey the vocal decline such unflattering to the harsh daylight m ü sse n.

Compare once unconditionally "Long Shadows" in the original and the remake. Even stubborn fans are expected, provided that they were able to preserve a certain amount of objectivity without screening, these sad vocal decay can not be denied any longer. The speaking voice alone is sufficient to thwart a denial of this sad fact with vehemence.
That they - the iron fans - it can still demonstrate anticipated the "problem" - voices to this criticism, which is expected to amount to for enthusiasts an unacceptable high treason; it may now not even be what must not be ...
