Something completely new from a great musician

Jan Delay, the nasal rapper the "Absolute Beginner" coverte early 2000. "Somewhere, somehow, sometime" by Nena and brought with "Searching for the January Soul Rebels" out a reggae record. It took a while until the comeback (of 5 years), while Jans "Mercedes Dance" hit a full. Why, we learn already in the intro: "A new Jan, a new beginning / Reggae is dead, now radio is tuned" he raps since. This time for hip-hop and reggae So a radio-plate that offers something completely different than you're used to from him. "Sure," the first single release is an absolute hit-compatible charts to sing along and -swingen. Lyrically, he has this time it fully, in "potato" he raps: "I still write 's superhit about this dreary vegetables and its property / own strength, but unfortunately no taste". Very funny and eloquent! Even the beat of the number on the "tuber" that could be heard on the soundtrack of the film "Leroy", suitable for mitnicken and the chorus is very catchy! Sometimes Ján of female Background accompanied ("steeple candidates"), and each time the numbers go catchy and stay in there too! "Forever and You" is the only ballad on the album and a good interpretation of the Rio Reiser hits. With the slightly faster number "fire" that can spark typical sounding saxophone and trombone sound, Jan came in Stefan Raab Federal Vision Song Contest 2007 even on the 2nd place.
After "Gasthaus zum laughing Stalin", the only instrumental number with very cool radio sound, we continue with social criticism ("plastic") before the plate in the completely casual-cool "in ..." (duet with Udo Lindenberg) finds its final climax.

Conclusion: Extremely cool, innovative drive of a very good German musician who has developed fantastic. Although it only hits and not a single "filler" are on the album, though a star deduction: The plate is for 5 years waiting just too short! Only 11 songs, intro and instrumental break counting, I have quite enough! One can only hope that it does not take as long again until the next CD ...
