So fans waited eagerly awaiting the latest production of the singer-songwriter duo that exists now: "For women, it's no problem," Raabe's new CD. The re-encounter of Gentleman and pop legend seems at the first listening, perhaps not quite as smooth as the first musical interaction between the two artists. But what can we expect from pop lyrics?
"Little lies do not hurt / are like honey in the tea / like a Sahnebaiser" strives in poetic ways hardly to high poetry and acts more like a little dadaesk. For the insinuating voice Max Raabe presents also drought texts supple and round. Almost like you hear a smile the singer when the Frauenversteher recites smugly in black tailcoat and with pomadisiertem hair Humpes rhymes.
Overall, the CD incredibly entertaining and in many ways surprising. Max Raabe thus proves once again as all-rounder, presents the themes of love and jealousy, as well as the little chaos of daily life elegant and convincing.
