Anyone's Daughter , today's spelling anyone's daughter , is a German rock band . In her first incarnation during the late 1970s and 1980s, she was one of the bands on the German progressive rock scene. Since their reunification in 2000, the musical direction of the band has been in the direction of pop-rock , sometimes using the stylistic devices established in earlier works.

history

Anyone's Daughter was founded in 1972 by Uwe Karpa and Matthias Ulmer in Stuttgart. The band named themselves after a song by Deep Purple . The band became accessible to a larger audience with their first album Adonis , which was released in 1979.

The early albums of the band around front man Harald Bareth are stylistically held in a symphonic and sometimes lyrical progressive rock , as was shaped in the first half of the 1970s by British bands such as Genesis or Yes . The first two albums also contain vocals in English. Adonis consists of four tracks, including the title track with a length of 24 minutes - a very common song format in progressive rock. The successor Anyone's Daughter, on the other hand, consists of eight shorter pieces. The song Moria became famous .

The following albums were provided with German lyrics, but initially largely retained the stylistic orientation. With Pictor's Metamorphoses , the band released a setting of the fairy tale of the same name by Hermann Hesse in 1981 , which has been at the heart of the band's concerts for four years. The musical implementation is an interplay between narrative passages with light background music, performed by Harald Bareth, and short instrumental pieces in the usual symphonic style. On the following album In Blau , the poetic-lyrical character of the pieces comes to the fore more than the symphonic style. With dance and death , a three-part processing of the death motif is included.

With Neue Sterne one tried to build on the success of the Neue Deutsche Welle . However, the band split up a short time later. After a brief reunion with a new line-up and another publication, they broke up again in 1986.

In 2000 the band around Ulmer and Karpa, who had been involved in other projects in the meantime, reunited. Ulmer had played for Heinz-Rudolf Kunze , among others , from whose band the bassist Raoul Walton could be taken over. Compared to the earlier works, the band has clearly changed stylistically - the pieces are now based on contemporary pop rock . The American singer Andre Carswell was inducted as the youngest member of the band. His English-speaking, soul- oriented singing contributes to the stylistic reorientation of the band. However, the newer compositions also contain elements that are reminiscent of the band's earlier works, such as the fast guitar and keyboard runs as well as staccato passages. Since then, the band has performed live again, either as a trio with vocals, guitar and keyboard, or, as with the CD presentation of Living the Future on April 26, 2018, with a full band. The only remaining member of the "original cast" is Matthias Ulmer.

On March 6, 2020, the band released the single One World for You and Me , the multilingual song featured Heinz Rudolf Kunze , Tayfun Ünlü, Mick Jackson, Dani Suara as well as John Vooijs and Matthias Ulmer.
