In the world of Alan Walker Pleasant pop music is brushed on club and dance floor level until at some point you can’t help but join in. But the whole thing has a limited radius of effect when the loud, glittering world of the party makers is visiting your own four walls.
The DJ and music producer has a hard time creating lasting effects. “World Of Walker” (Columbia) makes this clear. What is trending now may find it difficult to outlast time. Exceptions, of course, confirm the rule. His remix of “Time” penned by the film music emperor Hans Zimmer is an event. Maybe Alan Walker shouldn’t have put it at the beginning. Rather in the second third, “Time” would not have overshadowed everything that followed.

Paenda (yes, the singer from the song contest) lives the music because she is convinced of it a thousand times over. If you just put the young Lower Austrian in the box of short-term pop stars, you’re making a mistake. Because the young woman has a feeling for rich grooves and beats. Proof: “Boys 4 Breakfast”, which Paenda finds together with KTEE and Vida Noa in a pulsating mix. The club trembles, the living room box vibrates and if you are not in the best mood with this song, you should have your emotional framework checked.
Everything has it’s time. That applies in general and especially for boy bands. When the magical attraction to the (mostly young) femininity fades because the women grow with the men who were once boys and at some point the music only has the value of remembering special, because unique times, then it seems a bit strange, if everyone is still pretending to be young, free and full of dreams.
“Wild Dreams” (East West Records) by Westlife is the attempt, poured into humble songs and thus failed, to get older with decency. Youth poetry to music that is full of pop violins had its time. Once. Back then. On the other hand, does someone want to listen to former boy band members when they sing about how they are grown up? That is the dilemma of early fame.
Yesterday is not to be despised. The Beatles, just once again through Peter Jackson’s eight-hour documentary “Get Back” in many ears, have brought classics into the world that last for decades and repeatedly get other artists to transfer them into their world. Christina Perri sang a subtle version of “Here Comes The Sun” reduced to piano and voice. The song is one of 13 “Songs For Rosie” (Elektra) with which the pop singer expands her lullabies collection. The songs for her first-born daughter Carmella are now followed by traditional songs and original compositions with which she commemorates her daughter Rosie, who unfortunately never saw the light of day. Those who hear the songs with the knowledge of this story will perceive the heartwarming songs differently. Christina Perri delivers moments in which you can really focus on the essentials. Completely without glitter and glamor, without party noise, but in peace and quiet with lots of light and warmth.
