Everything is alive is the third studio album by German pop singer Adel Tawil .

Creation and artwork

All compositions and song texts on Alles Leben are specially written by Tawil himself, who wrote or composed them together with co-authors. Most of the titles were created with the assistance of Mario Wesser, who co-wrote and composed a total of eleven titles. The author Ali Zuckowski worked on seven pieces, Marcel Uhde on six pieces. Robin Grubert , Ricardo Munoz and Patrick Salmy each contributed four titles . Furthermore, Friedrich Kautz ( Prinz Pi ) and Thimo Sander each worked on two titles. In addition, other isolated authors worked, including well-known musicians such as Cem Toraman ( Summer Cem ) or Simon Triebel . Authors such as Grubert, Triebel, Wesser or Zuchowski were already involved as authors on Tawil's first two albums.

The album was produced by Juh-Dee , who produced the tracks partly alone and in cooperation with other producers. With the exception of two tracks, Melvin Schmitz always acted as a co-producer ("Additional Producer"), with the other two tracks he acted as a full producer. Juh-Dee and Schmitz received support from Grubert and Salmy on four titles. In addition, the producers Samuele Frijo, Yanek Stark and Triebel (1 title each) are involved. The album was mixed by Zuckowski, with one piece he received support from Grubert. The engineering was done through the collaboration of Yunus Cimen, Juh-Dee and Salmy.

On the cover of the album only Tawil can be seen - in addition to the album title and artist name. He is standing in front of a pink background and has a telescope in his hand through which he looks to the right of the observer. The picture was shot by the Zurich photographer Sebastian Magnani.

Publication and promotion

Everything is alive was first published on June 21, 2019 under the music label BMG Rights Management . The album was distributed by the Warner Music Group . The album consists of 14 new studio recordings.

In order to promote the album, Tawils performed solo with Tu m'appelles in the ProSieben show 1:30 .

content

With one exception, all of the lyrics on the album are written in German and come from Tawil himself, only the piece Tu m'appelles is bilingual and also contains French verses. All pieces are new compositions. Musically, everything lives in the area of German pop , but you can also find rap borrowings in Hawaii . The German news channel n-tv described the album as a mix of pop and urban. In terms of content, Tawil takes up the topics of the birth of his child ( Neues Ich ), xenophobia ( where should I go ) or turbo-capitalism ( Katsching ).

Tawil was supported vocally on two titles. The song Tu m'appelles was created in cooperation with the German- Bulgarian singer-songwriter Peachy . In Hawaii , Twail receives support from German rapper Bausa . Tawils cooperated with both musicians for the first time in his career.

Single releases

Two official singles were released from Everything Lives . Initially, the first single, Tu m'appelles, was released on April 12, 2019. BMG described the song as a piece about the “bond between people” and about the “unconditional, unstoppable willingness” to be there for someone. The collaboration with Peachy was initially rather difficult commercially. After its release in Germany , the single initially only hit the single trend charts for several weeks . With the album release , Tu m'appelles finally reached the official single charts and reached its highest chart rating at position 48. In Switzerland, Tu m'appelles reached position 30 in the single charts . A chart success in the Austrian single charts was denied the piece.

The second single on May 24, 2019, was Leid Neues Ich . The piece, in which Tawil sings about the feeling of becoming a father, could not establish itself commercially and missed the official single charts in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Reviews

• Moritz Fehrle from the online magazine laut.de rated Alles lives with only one out of five stars. The album promises a more electronic, youthful and zeitgeist-oriented sound, but the implementation is so dull and predictable that Fehrle has more than once the impression that it is about exercises from the textbook “Urban Sounds for Beginners Vol. 1”. The overwhelming majority of the songs work according to the old success principle. Tawil praises great love with rich images and a lot of pathos .

In DNA , one cliché follows the next, which Fehrle described as "detachable hideousness". A gently "splashing" piano accompaniment and an arrangement in which you can see the "primitive composition structure" in front of your eyes, underline the piece: Love really didn't deserve that! At Katsching , Fehrle is of the opinion that Hannes Wader would pale due to the "toothless, uninspired or moronic" type of "biting social criticism ". In fact, the son of African parents is tackling the unsightly issue of growing xenophobia, but with such velvet gloves that in the end one has to chalk him up not only as a kitschy home anthem, but almost as if he were right-wing extremists. What Tawil does not want in the piece is to point the finger at the guilty party. Instead, you can hear of "dark thoughts behind lonely windows". I mean: unfortunately some people have been a little misguided lately, but actually they are just one of 80 million just like Tawil. Fehrle asked himself whether one should not perhaps cite a lack of sanity as a mitigating factor for such “outrageous nonsense”. In the “strange song” atomic bomb, Tawil walk through the streets to cheerful pop rhythms in slow motion while an atomic alarm goes off around him. Since such an impending end of the world could of course not spoil the good party atmosphere, the atomic bomb also sounds like the soundtrack for the fan miles of this country.

DNA , atomic bomb and where should I go would represent three gruesome total failures of a disk, which is a single failure. If you weren't constantly waiting in fearful anticipation of the next lyrical blow, you could at least overhear the album. Musically, there is great monotony. In addition to the “low-imagination” productions, the constant emphasis on Tawils always contributes a little to the dramatic voice. A large part of the shredded shreds therefore only differ in which crooked metaphor now forms the respective basic structure. Fehrle would like to highlight any bright spots. If you don't accept the lack of sanity that he mentioned, everything is alive and well, however, simply the album for which the 1-point rating was invented. Even if the scale went up to fifty instead of five, the album would never get past a point. But after all, someone has to define the lower end of a scale . At the end of the year, the online magazine placed the album among the “worst albums of the year”.

• Christopher Sennfelder from the e-zine Plattentests.de gave the album three out of a possible ten points. The sound has become a little more electronic compared to So beautifully different , but nothing has changed in the song structures and melodies. Exactly the necessary time still passes before the chorus, which is then repeated so often until the last one has understood that there is no escape. The album offers more than enough material for the "three-minute slot" between traffic news and commercials. In terms of text, Tawil cannot go beyond lead pouring and everyone knows that anything can be interpreted into “ amorphous lumps”, provided that the alcohol content in the blood is correct. The messages are clear: "Live your life, love your neighbor, let the sun in your heart". However, it fails because of the mediation. The music is made very competently, but Tawil's singing mostly seems like a foreign body. He couldn't help that, because in itself he had a very pleasant-sounding voice. But this just doesn't really go with well-designed synthie noodle .

The song Katsching is unfortunately not a German cover version of the Shania Twain classic , but consumer criticism from the used goods trade . It is almost admirable tenacity with which Tawil and team fallow plow called German-language pop music. Sometimes this would result in somewhat lively titles like Tu m'appelles (which Sennfelder emphasized as a “highlight”), but mostly the music just slips away. Songs like 1,000 good reasons and Under the Same Sky are "a straight hits ", which in itself would not be reprehensible if they were good. In Hawaii Bausa is allowed to slur a few lines , which is an unpleasant contrast to Tawil's sanded-down singsong . Bomb put the misery then the dunce cap on. The story: "nuclear". The punch line: “False alarm. Fully funny and so. ”The lack of imagination with which you act here is shocking. Which is also the central term for the creation of Tawil. Nice ideas like the story that runs into you would crash between handclaps and autotune . Texts that want to address as many people as possible lose themselves in arbitrariness. So the feelings remain. Giving them expression is a driving force behind art. And isn't a headache also a feeling? Whoever thinks he is strong will certainly have his joy with Everything Lives . Everyone else should keep the bulk pack of aspirin close at hand.
