Ami Warning

When there seems to be no land in sight between all the demands, pressure and tasks, between social media and self-comparisons, between high goals, striving for perfection and deep doubts, it's good, no, it's highly recommended to take some time out. That's what Ami Warning are all about on their third album "Auszeit". "Auszeit" is ten songs that tell ten stories of struggling, doubting, breaking out, arriving, self-empowerment and making peace with oneself. Ami sings about feelings that everyone knows. In doing so, she creates a touching intimacy between herself and her listeners, which can also be felt in her live shows with a full band - in addition to her on lead guitar, she is joined by a guitarist, bassist, drummer and keyboardist. This is due to her deeply relaxed sound, somewhere between singer-songwriter in German and hip-hop beats. But also because of her lyrics, with which she stands by our side like a wise friend, someone who is still a seeker just like the rest of us. Take "Liebe is laut", for example, a collaboration with Mola, with whom Ami Warning not only shares her origins in Munich, but also the talent to create entire vignettes full of tension in just a few words and to tell the story of relationships - and their endings - in a new and surprising way. Or the title track "Auszeit": a hymn to shifting down a gear, listening to your gut feeling and allowing yourself not only to fight, but also to recharge your batteries. For the now. For life. For our time out.
