Decent, catchy pop so far anyway; definitely has something. He's got a good voice. I wonder if he was ever in a boyband? No, seems he's always been a solo artist. Good for him. It's funny how personally, I always find the German language very harsh and sharp, but most times, when reviewing albums by German artists, it seems that harshness disappears – or at least is very much ameliorated – by the singing. “So schön” is a very breezy and catchy song, “Freier Fall” is a nice ballad and you have to admire the cleverness in titles such as “Love Me Tinder”, to say nothing of his using English and German pastiches to make song titles.
Generally speaking, a decent pop album. Nothing special, but nothing terrible either. Can't honestly say anything stood out or was memorable, language barrier aside. But for an album with fourteen tracks, and in German, I wasn't wishing for it to end, which has to count for something.
