With his first album, which is also the same bears his name, Matthias Reim can convince me absolutely. In addition to the hit singles "Damn I love you" and "I've dreamed of you" are the ballads the highlights of this disc. "Bastian - blue light at night" dedicated Matze his disabled son and describes understandable and empathetic thoughts that move as a relative of a disabled child. A beautiful song! The single "No matter," and "But there was more" are two more pop ballads that typically rhyme style - arranged with simple but concise means - very atmospherically dense come along. Speedier songs like the cool, "What's going on?" or "Give 'us not!" provide refreshing for a change. Matthias Reim developed at the beginning of his career happily continue from album to album. REIM is not his strongest plate; the work comes with world-related texts and careful arrangements but very creative and therefore sympathetic.
