Die neue Männer is the eleventh studio album by the a cappella pop band Die Prinzen . On the album u. a. deals with the topic of "man and woman". It was released on September 26, 2008. There is also a premium edition of the album, which was released on February 13, 2009.

background

The album was produced by DJ Mousse T. with Hans-Martin Buff, Nils Ruzicka, Jan van der Toorn and Stavros Ioannou and was the Prinzen's first studio album after four years. They had previously released two live records ( Akustisch Live (2006) and Die Prinzen Orchestral (2007)). The first single was called Frauen sind die neue Männer and was released on September 5, 2008. It reached number 64 in the German single charts . The second single Be cool speak Deutsch was released on February 6, 2009 and reached number 100.

Between many sentimental pieces (e.g. never again love songs or fear that you are leaving ) there are also two songs on the album that play with the theme of " Denglisch " ( Be cool speak Deutsch and My Friend ). Like the last studio album HardChor , the album was unable to build on the success of earlier works; it only reached number 42 in the German album charts.

Old acquaintances (e.g. Steve van Velvet , who had already co-written the hit Deutschland , or Annette Humpe , long-time producer and discoverer of the Prinzen) worked on the album , but also many new ones (e.g. Jovanka von Willsdorf, Maya Singh or David Bronner).

In terms of sound, the princes often used more modern sounds in their songs (such as Why I of all people or Be cool speak German ), but also familiar quiet sounds (such as fear that you are going or back to paradise ). In December 2008 the video for the song Never Again Love Songs was released as a promotion for the album , without it being released as a single.
