Pop
His raw pop music calls for making noise. Without preaching, but with emphasis and clever provocation, the twenty-three-year-old singer from Hamburg addresses the state of the nation and far beyond. Musically, his vision reaches far outside the box: with warm cello tones, nostalgic indie guitar, or sounds ranging from folk to pop, he and his band are already captivating large venues, making people listen and feel. And while he sings with his powerful voice—painfully direct about fascism and rising sea levels, or deeply moving about childhood memories—the infectious rhythms leave us no choice but to dance.
