In the organizer's words:

Lizki Losing Grip in a Chaotic World - Album Release Tour 2025 ©Johanna Weilert Losing Grip in a Chaotic World (release date 26.09.25), the title of Berlin-based artist Lizki's second album, may sound a little gloomy at first, evoking images of both a hostile outside and an ever-slipping inside. However, the opener Hush Now, Baby immediately surprises with sparkling, cheerful, danceable pop music that makes it clear that if we have to go down, we should do so with flying colors. So the tears (Tears are streaming down my face / Shiny dots in deep dark space) become glitter make-up (Got myself a glitter gloss / To hide behind when I'm lost), the heaviness of the content is transformed into melodic and rhythmic light-footedness. Colorful, upbeat and with a lot of pop, it continues, even if the content is not exactly light fare, such as self-doubt (Bit My Lips, Water) and self-discovery (In Between), love (Back Out Alive, Wicked Way, Happiest Girl) and how to be happy anyway (Rigged Game, Something Good). The beats drive, the synths chirp and squeak, the bass rolls, the hooks burn themselves into the frontal lobe and it's all held together by Lizki's classically trained voice, which sometimes slips into theatricality, as if to make it clear that pulling yourself together and eating into yourself is enough. Losing Grip in a Chaotic World, which was written and recorded in Munich and Berlin together with producer Tobias Koett (Ant Antic), doesn't just put a good face on the bad game, it wants to help - and this is where the second level of meaning of the title opens up - to let go, to gain some distance and new perspectives. Total destruction can be so sweet / And I know something good is awaiting me (Something Good).
