In the artist's words:

Joo Kraus is Joo Kraus. What sounds so self-evident is by no means the case today, because in the mercantile everyday life of the music industry, names are often reduced to brands. Not so with Joo Kraus. The fact that the trumpeter from Ulm made music history and earned himself a legendary reputation worldwide with the acid jazz duo Tab Two in the 1990s is just as important to him as his proverbial activity in such diverse fields as krautrock, jazz, hip-hop, Latin, ambient and singer/songwriter. Stylistic breadth has always been closer to his heart than a commitment to a specific genre. "I like so many things and it's always been difficult for me to decide. Now I've just decided that I don't have to choose."

The themes of his songs range from very intimate personal reflections to global political observations. As in the title song, which is relentlessly directed against Vladimir Putin's policy of aggression. Joo Kraus has a lot to say. No excuse for the political decisions of the autocrats and political egos of this world, under which so many people are currently suffering.
