Martin Meinschäfer - Wer hat, der hat! (CD)

Singer, producer & sound engineer Martin Meinschäfer is releasing a German-language album under his own name!
"He who has, has, is the name of my new album, and I find the title more relevant than ever: The distribution of property on our planet has never been as unequally distributed as it is now. The exploitation of resources continues, despite all warnings, and it continues to be at the expense of the poorest. We apparently can't get enough.
But that's not the only reason I've released a new album: I haven't made much of my own music since the last release of the "ROSEN & GOMORRHA" album in 2001. I've spent the last 20 years helping other, younger colleagues with their work and shaping their music into the most powerful form possible. That was incredibly fun and often very inspiring. But over time, I realized that I still had a few songs slumbering inside me. They simply had to come out!"
In addition to his son Moritz Meinschäfer, who played the drums on almost all of the songs, several guests and companions can be heard on the album: Henrik Freischlader, Marco Zugner, Joo Kraus, Martel Dörsam, Toett, Moritz Müller, Karima Djabelkhir, Jimmy Klimsop, Linda Rocco, Günter Asbeck, Lothar Krell and Raimund Salg.
Meinschäfer makes pop music far removed from any kind of embarrassment. Musically, it's more reminiscent of Steely Dan with sophisticated arrangements than the usual German-language, always-the-same-three-chord pattern.
The guest musicians add their own insistent musical touches. Yet this album bears the artist's signature signature more than ever.
The compact arrangements and the experience he draws from his work as a producer result in a truly first-class sound. Furthermore, the trained guitarist has developed an extremely accurate sense for instrumentation, which ensures a surprise in every song.
Bringing together the stylistic diversity of this work is a particularly outstanding feature of this production, which does not follow any trend but simply delivers timelessly good quality.
The focus is on the voice, which perfectly combines lyrics and emotion. The lyrics are pointed, witty, and at the same time catchy. "This could easily be released as a poetry collection..." say the test listeners.
It goes straight to the truth and evokes very direct emotions. Witty word combinations, powerful images! This guy has experienced many ups and downs. You'll believe it immediately! 16 song gems guaranteed to get stuck in your head. A very musical album!
“He who has, has” is vanilla for the soul!
