Reviews

  • Courier: " Never enough as the first single, storms equal in typical fashion going on - tighter structure, catchy melody, pedagogically valuable text with identifying potential - Live louder running fast behind, The world, a ballad that falls into slower rut & and so on, the knitting pattern is substantially the same. So the sweater looks a bit boring (if also less boring than its predecessor). Not boring are striker voice and presence - they make music but somehow credible and distinctive. One Career sequel, also in Germany, nothing should stand in the way, so. One should not compare apples with pears known. Christina Sturmer new album is an apple. A quite palatable. If you prefer pears to eat pears. "
  • Sebastian Räuchle, Kronen Zeitung: "Conclusion: With its simple and direct way, and the profound and honest lyrics Christina Stürmer proves once again why she is Austria's number 1 and will probably remain for a while. Let's hope that Christina will lose nothing in the future of their native species. "
  • Eberhard Dobler, laut.de: "Four sympathetic with security musician, a squeaky-clean production with a fancy young singer. Absolutely suitable for TV broadcasting, what 's going on. And that also makes a difference. Really cool bands playing from the street into the TV. Christina comes from television, what should belittle her talent in any way. "
