Far from it. From simple pop pabulum, with simplest Discofox beats we are here this time (thankfully) back far far away.
"For one day" took the first big step forward and "play of color" sets again a full shovel on top.
Inventory the last album mostly of ballads, so are the "play of colors" many mid- and up-tempo songs heard. However, the spine-tingling ballads not missing.
"Healthy" is the first single and has it made despite or perhaps because of the unfamiliar sounds in 20th place of the German single charts. Thus, their most successful single.
In addition to "Healthy" Also the epic series "Breathless through the night" (certainly one of the next big Helene Fischer Hits) and "Our Day" in the more "clubby" a song. Definitely not a hit, but that is what Helene Fischer at the latest since their 2010 tour has long ceased. Helene Fischer stands for entertainment and variety and exactly discovered the listener to "play of colors".
The classic hit, there are no longer listen to almost, it has continued to develop positively and modernize the arrangements. "Marathon", "by any other" or "fireworks" I count it. But modernization does not mean "no catchy quality" - on the contrary. Here musical quality is delivered. New tools are integrated with and play around the basic framework of each song. Who Helene Fischer ever experienced live knows that experimentation is being acted out live from A to Z and loved by the audience. Thus, it was only a matter of time before a studio album is so "spoiled".
New writers, like Peter Plate from Rosenstolz or The Count of Unholy diversify their colors into it and my wish is that in future adding more pop lyricist with.
Soulful ballads like "those nights" (written by Peter Plate) or "A little happiness" (written and composed by Count) tend to come in pop robe and show that Helene Fischer can be assigned to a drawer. You can sing any genre and above all: convincing.
The album has so many different sounds that you can not respond specifically to certain songs, because each has its own experience and make the name "play of color" in total credit.
Highly Recommended and certainly the best Helene Fischer album. Will be hard to top that in the future. But Helene and her team have indeed always ready for a surprise.
