Refreshed and inspired After a creative break and many travels, pop songwriter Johannes Oerding returns audibly refreshed and inspired with his new album "Hotel". Sometimes you need distance. From yourself, from what you think the world means, and from what has sustained and exhausted you for years. Only then can you find yourself again. Johannes Oerding experienced exactly that – and is now knocking on the door again with his new single "Hier gehör' ich hin" (This is where I belong). To uptempo beats and gentle guitars, he sings about running and standing still, about stumbling, falling, and getting back up. The single is the first release since Johannes Oerding took a sabbatical in 2024. He used the time off to travel and rediscover himself. On his journeys, in encounters with friends, and in the silence away from the stage, he found his way back to what has always sustained his music: honesty, clarity, and emotion. According to Johannes Oerding, "Hotel" goes back to the roots: "The songs sound organic, recorded live, stripped down – and without a lot of frills." Or, as he describes it himself: "You should be able to hear that I was on the road, that I was inspired. This road trip feeling is very common on the album." With "Hotel," Johannes Oerding now opens the next chapter – adding it to a career that has been steadily rising for two decades. All of his albums have been certified at least gold, and many have even achieved multi-platinum status. New product
