Phil Solo's new album, "Harmonie," is more rock-oriented than the previous album. "ScheintSo" was a singer/songwriter concept album about love and freedom. The new album, titled "Harmonie," features the band's signature sound and is a sound-oriented concept album that reflects joy and living in harmony.
Once again, in keeping with his stage name Phil Solo, Phil recorded all the instruments himself in the studio. He played all the guitars, bass, drums, piano, keys, banjo, ukulele, and mandolin himself.
The multi-instrumentalist's songs are full of hedonism and joie de vivre. Even themes like loss and fear find a positive, optimistic, and harmonious ending in the songs. "Harmonie" is an ode to life, which should be enjoyed to the fullest. A positive outlook on the future can move mountains. Phil's lyrics show that sometimes crises are necessary to recharge your batteries. Sometimes true love and a new lifelong dream are right in front of you; suddenly, it's there: the harmony that transforms all your strength into positive energy.
This power and energy are precisely what you feel on the album. This feeling runs through the entire album, both in the lyrics and in the sound, like a leitmotif. The album's all-encompassing intention culminates in the final lines of the track "Zeit": "Go and live your dream."
Phil's new album, "Harmonie," sounds as open-minded and colorful as an optimistic lifelong dream. Phil Solo's new album is bursting with energy, his lyrics are empathically poignant, and the atmosphere of his songs, like the album title, is full of "harmony."
