DIE HEITERKEIT - "Black Magic" Tour 2025
Nothing more can be expected from those at the top, that's for sure. The gods are maladroit and powerless, the spirits too porous to haunt. And so it is once again up to Die Heiterkeit to guide us, with their characteristic tender severity, along the trail that will lead us out of this mess. Or, even better, into a new, in truth naturally ancient world of magical thinking. After the light, glossy pop of "Was Passiert Ist", Die Heiterkeit now shines powerfully and mystically in a forged work between pop and folk and goes all the way to the elementary with a natural grand gesture. "Sometimes only black magic can help," sings Stella Sommer and takes us, safely wrapped in warm sound hoods, to the Teufelsberg and between the lines of the great art of songwriting.
Anyone who, in the 15th year of Heiterkeit and on her 9th album (so far: 4x Die Heiterkeit, 3x Stella Sommer, 1x Die Mausis), still refers to Sommer's dark voice in astonishment and once again only digs out the long-since worn-out, well-worn comparisons is missing out on the spectacularly unique aspect of this music, which nobody in this country seems to have mastered as effortlessly and, above all, fearlessly as Stella Sommer. And you miss out on what a great songwriter and musician you are dealing with. Like its predecessor "Was Passiert Ist", "Schwarze Magie" was once again the result of close collaboration between Sommer and producer Moses Schneider.
