Cro, whether you like or not like him, everyone knows him. The guy with Panda mask of the 'raop' (mix of Rap and Pop) has invented. After his huge hit "Easy" came his album 'raop' and immediately debuted at No. 1 on the German charts. Songs such as "Around the World", "King of raop" or even "Easy" did not go out of my head. Now, two years later, he returns with "Melody" back ....
"Dream", the first single from his new album, rose (as elsewhere) the same course on the top of the charts. Accordingly, the expectations for the new plant were very high. These expectations were, unfortunately, not met with me for the most part.
"Melody" is the deluxe edition of 17 songs. Really excellent, I found them five pieces:
"I Can Feel It (Intro)"
"Dream"
"Now"
"Melody"
"Nett Flanders [Bonus Track]"
These five songs have for me exactly what makes Cro. To sing, to dance and have fun music. And, unfortunately, I lack too many. While tracks like "Cop Love" or "Never Cro Up" have a good text, but the beat is too monotonous and sometimes quite boring. Every artist wants to evolve and try new things. Sometimes it does not work ... and sometimes. Do not get me wrong, I'm still Cro fan and find his music is still very good.
Conclusion: "melody" is a solid album. There are good tracks available ... but unfortunately very few. He wanted to show something else on the album. Many quiet songs to relax and unwind. In my opinion, too many. A major criticism of me is that Cro also makes here to gangster rappers and I do not like it already basically. From Kollegah and Sido has been around enough rapper. But a guy with Panda mask, the good music makes, of which we have (so far) only one: Cro
