Ami Warning - Auszeit Tour 2024

In the organizer's words:

We don't know how close we are to the end of the world. But most of us are probably familiar with the occasional feeling that things have never been so bad - whether in our private lives or socially. And sometimes it takes precisely this doomsday mood to change our perspective - because just before the end of the world, we see more clearly. No pain, no happiness. And no art without courage.

Ami jumped without knowing where she would end up. Forwards and back to the beginning at the same time - to where longing is at home, to where the moment counts more than the future, to where one's own intuition is the most important driving force.

"Kurz vorm Ende der Welt" is not a classic fourth album. It is a mixtape. Created on their own initiative from the gut - this time without a studio, without producers, without pressure to succeed, without a double bottom. Their slowly grooving beats are reminiscent of the golden era of 90s hip hop. The reduced and unpolished instrumentals also allow reggae and Latin to shine through. Above all, however, they leave room for Ami's great voice, which alone tells so much - soft and unshakeable at the same time.

Precisely because Ami has written these eight songs entirely for herself for the time being, the 26-year-old Munich native lets us get closer to her as an artist than ever before with "Kurz vorm Ende der Welt". And if you let yourself be touched by them, you will certainly also get a little closer to yourself - because in her lyrics, Ami is always searching for the essentials, for what life is all about.

It's about growing up and how difficult it sometimes is to retain childlike enthusiasm in our world ("Blaue Augen"). It's about being brave ("Now"), about being alive ("Beautiful Hours"), about letting go ("Just Before the End of the World"). It's about self-determination and swimming against the current ("Hallo Kinder"). It's about the strongest person in Ami's life, her father Wally Warning, who is still struggling with the consequences of a serious illness - and against which Ami so often wishes for a magic spell ("Simsalabim"). It's about difficult times ("It is what it is") and again and again about the question of what comes next - after the end of the world ("There"). Ami shows us: "Shortly before the end of the world" is always a place for hope. And a mixtape full of snapshots for eternity.
