Marlo Grosshardt

In the artist's words:

Marlo Grosshardt sings beautifully provocative songs about the world around him. The twenty-three-year-old from Hamburg wraps his critical lyrics in a rough pop guise. His powerful voice carries us through nostalgic melodies and rousing rhythms.

His debut album "Ein letztes Liebeslied" is a dystopian outlook, dramatically staged and yet beautiful. It is divided into two acts. At the beginning, it is about love and the romantic end of the world. A resignation to the dystopia that Marlo has in mind. "Let's drink so that it's over soon.". This is followed by stories of failed tax evasion on the high seas in a finite world. In the second part, Marlo then returns to the here and now. The stories become beautiful, provocative and concrete. "Jungfernstieg" depicts the moment of two young people experiencing apparent wealth and love. The rut of working life is sung about in "Angestellten sein". In "Christian Lindner", Marlo vents his frustration at liberalism, but without pointing the finger too high.

The tour for the album was a great success. Most of the shows were sold out and some had to be rescheduled. Marlo can touch the audience emotionally with his profound lyrics, but at the same time he can also get them dancing with his wonderful band.

In January last year, he also released "Ein Spiel" (feat. piya), a thought-provoking single, in the course of which he organized a fundraising campaign for Sea-Watch.
