Not only I was sad when the successful duo "I and I" take a break for an indefinite period announced. Too good to unique music, that mixture of melancholy, joy, sad and pensive, which created the gifted composer Humpe with the voice Tawil. Breaks mean in this business are known to usually the ultimate off - so it was in ABBA back in the early 80s, as you initially found the solo projects of female gang members as a welcome consolation Plaster until you reboot, at which it then but should never come.
The latter is still open - thank goodness. A consolation is now also in this national act with the album "Songs" in front, with which Adel Tawil brings solo brilliantly after a long break in memory.
That familiar voice would have preserved their level, could be expected. Not expected, however, I had to be loyal to the style of the songs that "I and I" swept all the way up. The whole album sounds like a continuation of the innovative success-CD's, but which needs to be emphasized that nevertheless not a cheap knock-offs emerged, but something new in the tradition of the Old. Wonderfully produced and arranged offers Tawil here sometimes rhythmic, sometimes thoughtful, but always very melodic songs that take lyrically almost the entire range of human life and feeling. This could easily drift toward kitsch, he had been so ill-advised without the know-how of soft power woman Humpe, the Guarantor for perfection ...
Derlei risks but be circumnavigated playfully. Adel Tawil sings his "songs" with heart and soul, with passion; one feels when listening that it with every fiber of the music to the lyrics, to the melancholy that pervades all songs regardless of rhythms, is she alive, sings, performs - and absolutely credible. Thus only can the identification grow with new music to love it, so alone only can skip the spark on the handset. I was reaching, excited, inflamed!
