Nena - Oldschool (2015)

OLDSCHOOLHARDKNOCK is the new album by Nena, with whom she straight catapulted himself and the listener into the present. The fresh sound has no less than Samy Deluxe, her new musical companion, created with her. Nena, the flagship of the German New Wave scene, and Samy Deluxe, the Deutschrap prodigy. This unusual collaboration is a further proof that Nena always goes to where it just goes on.

So then is the opener, which also carries the title OLDSCHOOL, just a clear message. For this purpose, a fat electro beat that one has never heard of Nena. Straight from the 80s, right in the Now.

On OLDSCHOOLHARDKNOCK be heavy bass anthems, melancholic earwigs (Peter Pan) and driving guitar pop find (Right now) (songs from the past) as well as snotty punk attitude (professional teenager) and swinging hits the put a smile one every time you hear the face ( Magic). The common thread: the time. The sound: fresh.

The influence of Samy Deluxe is clearly noticeable. It is the view of the infants in the seventies, the rumsprangen as children to Nena music on the bed. Oldschool up. Simply Nena.
