Everything will be fine. Maybe. Definitely. It just has to. A little optimism and an ounce of hope are extremely valuable in difficult times - even for a self-confessed melancholic like Florian Paul and his band Kapelle der letzten Hoffnung, consisting of Nils Wrasse, Giuliano Loli and Johannes Rothmoser. The band and the charismatic 29-year-old singer with the warm, smoky voice have built up a steadily growing fan base over the past five years with melancholy love songs and other night-time pieces between jazz, pop and film music and have long been among the most exciting and creative representatives of the German-speaking singer-songwriter scene. With "Alles wird besser" they are taking an important step forward. The new program is a response to its predecessor "Auf Sand gebaut", which was shaped by the corona pandemic, a farewell to the general and also private low of those years and at the same time a continuation of the euphoric groove of titles such as "Bella Maria", with which the band created enthusiasm. No more world-weariness: "I would say that we are now in a spirit of optimism," says Paul. And this is clearly audible.

Nevertheless, as a trained film composer, Florian Paul remains true to his narrative style, the dark blue-tinted reflective images from dark hours, with nostalgia and memories of times gone by and the dream of a happier tomorrow. The latter is also the central motif in "Everything will be better". You just can't stop dreaming. Then maybe not everything will be good. But better.
