In the artist's words:

If you like melancholy, dreamy indie pop with a hint of 80s vibe, you should put the name Gigolo Tears firmly on your musical watch list. The musicians bring exactly what you would expect from an unforgettable evening at a concert or the perfect soundtrack for a late-night stroll: atmosphere, attitude and that bittersweet mixture of heartache and hope.

Gigolo Tears are somewhere between synthpop, indie and new wave - and still sound very unique. The music is reminiscent of a mixture of Drangsal, International Music, Isolation Berlin and a pinch of The Cure in German. These influences are interwoven with clever lyrics, catchy hooks and a voice that immediately gets stuck in your head. Gigolo Tears have built up a loyal fanbase over the last few years - and completely deservedly so. The music works on record, but live it really blows you away.

Songs like "Schattenparade", "Keine Nachrichten" or "Tanzen mit dir" are some of the strongest moments on the album - sometimes driving, sometimes slowed down, but always intense. "Tanzen mit dir" in particular develops an incredible energy live: melancholic and at the same time so danceable that you want to cry and celebrate at the same time. Her best-known songs also include "Stadt aus Beton", a melancholy catchy tune with a great chorus and lots of retro charm, and "Tränen auf dem Dancefloor", which delivers exactly what the title promises - bittersweet synthpop with a drama factor. "Ich will verschwinden" has also established itself as a fan favorite: dark, honest, intense.
