In the artist's words:

Since his first EP "Alles Gute", Swiss songwriter Faber has been walking through walls in his career as if they were doors. He writes pointed lyrics that are simultaneously some of the cleverest and most polarizing that can be heard today. This has led Faber to sold-out tours and headlining slots at tasteful festivals - the artist is celebrated by critics and fans alike. Following the debut EP, two outstanding albums were released, "Sei ein Faber im Wind" (2017), "I fucking love my life" (2019) and a live album, "Orpheum", in late summer 2022. The latter is clearly audible: Faber concerts are rousing, elegant and unabashedly sophisticated and therefore the best you can see live in German (and not only that, Faber sometimes also sings in Italian, French or Swiss German).

On "Addio", Faber will break away from measurable art, from music that is no longer allowed to stand for itself, but instead directly reflects how popular it is with the masses. He has written songs that don't have to work, but do anyway. Songs that have matured and are now ready to show what they are made of in concert.
