Background
After the 2006 released album, Live loud, was very successful and about 250,000 have been sold, let Christina Stürmer produce an unplugged album decided after four studio albums and one live album. End of 2007, she went to Germany for the first time on Unplugged tour in various Hard Rock Cafes. The tour was to attend a charitable action against breast cancer. Under the title Rocktober the band gave concerts in Cologne, Munich and Berlin.
" The Hard Rock Cafe has approached my management some time ago and which in turn have laid for me all the action close and there was not really a long think about whether you support it or not. Because, I think quite simple breast cancer, as can be seen in Anastacia or Kylie Minogue, can really affect anyone and that I find is a great action, so that one simply has to support. "
In Austria, she released at the same time on 16 November 2007 the first Unplugged harbinger of the new album under his middle years, a song she could find nothing but already on the album Live. Then first dates have been published for the official Los loud - tour in Austria and Germany. Furthermore, the Austrian Football Association announced that Christina Stürmer to sing the official anthem for the 2008 European Football Championship.
At the beginning of the following year moved forward from the management team and went to Frontline Artists, which they presented in a new guise (including on the official home page). In February 2008, it was confirmed by the record company that are on the album and five new songs. The songs orchestra in me, an optimist and never too late to have been living next to the second harbingers dreams forever and the EM song fever as a completely new songs called.
Music
Musically a new page in striker Genre bandwidth is offered. Instead of the usual pop and rock songs, the tracks were recorded as a swing and country songs new. The band reached new elements such as rattles, acoustic guitar and accordion. The instrumentation of the song moment during that day, the band of the Country Group Dixie Chicks was inspired. In addition, during the actual rock song go was not when you come (originally Free fall from the album ) familiar to jazz elements.
Even the new songs that are designed to provide an outlook for the next studio album, were packed in acoustic dress. The song is a ballad dreams live forever, especially the acoustic guitar and the accordion play in which, in combination with her voice a major role. Thematically leads striker continues the style of their last album, which is happy and optimist as is the case with the track. Orchestra in me, another previously unreleased song is - as the name suggests - influenced by orchestral elements like piano and violin.
