"Kompass", the new album by Prinzen frontman Sebastian Krumbiegel, is once again not about Jesus. For example, Elon Musk's tax return, the Little Prince, that 2+2= 5, why you shouldn't be afraid despite everything and rather dream of a better world, and it's about music. About more music. Sebastian Krumbiegel played almost 70 gigs in the last 12 months, he wrote almost 70 songs in the same time. He put the songs through their paces, rearranged, discarded, created. The result: his new album "Kompass". As you can see, Sebastian Krumbiegel loves to write songs and play live. And he loves not only to entertain his audience before, during and after the performances, but also to converse with his audience. And little by little it became clear in his conversations that it was precisely this audience that demanded positive songs in our difficult times." Kompass" contains 14 songs in which the glass is basically half full, the grass is basically green and the light at the end of the tunnel is basically not from an oncoming locomotive. Krumbiegel himself, as he says, was not in the mood for sad songs. However, anyone who thinks that the artist is drifting into shallow realms is mistaken: Krumbiegel succeeds like few others in the balancing act between entertainment and reflection, between criticism and optimism. Sebastian Krumbiegel is someone who believes. He believes in the power of art, in the possibility of change for the better, and his songs are about exactly this belief. It reminds us not to forget the dream of a different, more harmonious world. And he succeeds in doing so without kitsch. But with humor, a lot of humor. Musically, too, "Kompass" is an optimistic album, an optimistic album, but without window dressing.   Tracklisting   LP Side A: Hallelujah Egoist Compass Normal 2+2=5 Anti-Social People Elon Musk (Just Pay Your Taxes!)
