Kamikazeherz is the debut album by German singer and songwriter Bosse .
Emergence
After Bosse separated from his former school band Hyperchild after a short career , he first went to Valencia, Spain, in 2003. There he gathered ideas for his own songs.
He later found musical (live) support with Thorsten Sala (guitar) and Björn Krüger (drums) from Wuppertal, as well as Wolfsburg-based Olaf Reitmeier (bass) and Theofilos Fotiadis, all former members of the bands Uncle Ho and Heyday. The first (joint) album was produced by Wolfgang Stach , who previously u. a. worked for the Guano Apes . Bosse lived in the Maarweg studio in Cologne while the album was being recorded.
In the song Novemberregen Bosse was supported by Paula singer Elke Brauweiler .
title
The title of the album comes from the fact that Bosse was very fond of ornate pictures at the time. In Kamikaze heart it is about self-destruction, but also about others with reinzureißen. Kamikaze continues to allude to "that sometimes you fall in love far too quickly", "through a desperate search and too much openness you can drive yourself and others into misery."
On the cover of the album, Bosse jumps into the air in a red jacket and light-colored jeans. In the background is a kind of collage, which u. a. Includes an excavator, television, astronaut, airplane, picture frame, and rails. In the lower part of the picture there is presumably a table top with a small black apparently armed person walking on it. The lettering Bosse. in black is on the upper left side of the cover and has a yellow graffiti-like background. The title Kamikaze heart is attached in black on a purple-beige background below the Bosse lettering.

Outcouplings
force
Kraft was released on February 7, 2005 in self-distribution. The single was able to place itself in the charts and was often played , especially on young radio stations such as 1LIVE and Radio Fritz . The single also contained two songs that were later released on the album, Das kleinste Glück and Explodiert . The cover of the single is yellow-black-red. You can see four hands that are shaped into a mano cornuta . In the middle of the lower edge of the picture, Bosse is lying in a red jacket, apparently asleep or exhausted, with his upper body leaning on the forearm of one of his hands. The artist name and title are written in black in the upper left corner. In the background is light yellow color that seems to run down from the lettering.
No panic
No Panic was released as the second single on June 20, 2005. The CD includes two new songs, your skin and I love life, as well as live versions of Kraft and Stadtastronauts . The cover is a collage consisting of: bosses who hold their ears screaming, several parts of women's bodies, boxes and houses. The title Don't Panic is integrated in red handwriting in capital letters on a white 16-pointed star in the lower left corner of the picture. The lettering Bosse. is placed in black letters with a green graffiti-like border in the upper right corner.
Nobody misses us
The third single Nobody Misses Us was released on September 26, 2005. The cover shows a wall with several picture frames hanging on it. In the photos, however, only white silhouettes of the people shown can be seen. In the foreground is a photo of Bosse in a cell phone or digital picture frame, presumably standing on a table top. The title of the single is in the upper left corner in a kind of graffiti style in black letters with a white border.
criticism
"Ultimately," Kamikazeherz "would only be average, despite good approaches, if it weren't for the epic icing" Das Kleinste Glück "at the end: threatening synth bass provides depth, strings and dark vocals also contribute to the success. The intellectual originator seems to have been the "Tannhauser" drama of the blessed Refused. The outbreak takes a few minutes to take hold, violently grabs the sleeping bosom, pulls out one more time and steps down mercilessly. Goose bumps. Bosse deserves respect for this and for the unusually critical texts. "
“After all, it's no ordinary rock album. That becomes clear from the first listen. And BOSSE is no ordinary rock singer. He's way too close to life for that. Or as he calls it 'too spontaneous'. His texts are small flashes of inspiration, inspirations, snapshots. Just about the world out there. That is so crazy, so crazy and so surreal. Which sinks into general chaos. The Big Brother Nation. In which all the young, pretty people only pay attention to their look, their coolness and their ring tones. And why reinvent the wheel? It's already round. BOSSE makes the world a better place simply by being there, by thinking - and singing. On "Kamikaze Heart". And live again soon. First at festivals, then in the clubs. Until then: don't panic! "
"Half of this album consists of really catchy tunes like" Kilometerweit "and" Highspeed "and the other half of songs that are better wrapped in the Helly Hansen jacket of silence. But that's the way it is sometimes in life. Some things work, others don't. Bosses can sing songs about it. "
tour
Bosse performed with this debut album a. a. as support from Such a Surge , Madsen and Mando Diao . He also played at various festivals such as B. Bochum Total and the Mega Rock in Erfurt.
