People: Helene Fischer sometimes wants to take a political stance

She sees herself primarily as an entertainer – but singer Helene Fischer also wants to use her voice in other ways – for example in the fight against racism and violence.

Singer Helene Fischer sees herself primarily as an entertainer – but there are still moments when she also wants to take a political stance.

“In my private life I have always been a political person with my own opinion and attitude,” said Fischer in an interview with the German press agency. “But I’m first and foremost an entertainer. I don’t want to use my prominence as an artist, which the audience only lends to me, to spread my political opinions. I just don’t take myself that seriously. “

However, there are moments when even she cannot hold back, Fischer said. “That’s why I prefer to process and spread my thoughts and messages in songs.” Time and again, other artists had asked Fischer to take a public political stance. In September 2018, at a concert in Berlin, she appealed to her fans to take a stand against racism and violence – and received a lot of encouragement. On her new album “Rausch”, which was released on Friday, there are some songs with political statements, such as the song “When we wake up”.
