- GROENALUND For Martin Gerke, Karolin Biewald, Mabel Winkler and Sarah Schumacher, music is a time machine with which one can travel to 1979 in order to redesign the future from there.
Groenalund's music is dreamy and theatrical in the best sense of the word, always balancing on the thin line between melancholy and joie de vivre: there are profound passages as well as moments of euphoria and lightness.
The characteristic voices of Sarah, Mabel and Karo complement each other harmoniously: each of the three has its own style, each has its own songs in which they take over the lead vocals, but they all sound together in a symphonic ensemble sound in the ingenious choir passages of hymn choruses .
The always sounds vital because there are no computers involved, when it comes to sound generation: All instruments are real, whether string orchestras, guitars, analog synthesizers, powerful drums and melodic bass lines, everything is recorded in real time by professional musicians in the studio.
Groenalund is even supported by Abba’s hit companions: Janne Schaffer, known from over 50 classic Abba recordings, recorded some solo passages on the album, with the same guitar that was once used on “Super Trouper” and “Dancing Queen”.
Just like back then ... The great role model Abba sometimes seems to send warm greetings, but Groenalund continues to weave its own thread undeterred.
The wall of sound from 1976-1982 has a solid foundation for the debut album #lovestorm, but new and modern perspectives on this cosmopolitan music style keep flashing: Groenalund sounds authentic.
Elaborately produced, rousing pop music with texts about the world experienced today, with prospects for a better tomorrow, that is the music of Groenalund. - Hudba
Wonderful Review Diego, Thank You so much for your time !!!
Very interesting! I have heard of this group, but have never listened to their music, I will take a listen, it sounds promising! :)
Great album revieuw. It sounds great. Thanks Diego.
Cheers, Diego. Interesting record. I like the way the group structures their songs and inserts slightly unusual melodies and changes in tempo, meaning tbey give surprises. The general feel of their work is just as you say; they sound a bit like ABBA a couple of decades after they rather suddenly stopped working together.
The Diego seal of approval! So generous of you to take the time to do this and I’m sure it will help the band 😊I love their ABBA- influenced sound and will definitely be buying the album ❤
Thank you for taking the time to do this review, Diego. It was very interesting.
I've never heard of this group but they remind me a little of ABBA. I like it. The "Just Like That" cover is very nice. I'm very impressed. I'd lost hoped in finding anything good these days as most of the current stuff is trash. Excuse my bluntness.
Oh, I totally agree, this album is a proper pop album, well written, produced. Glad you liked the review.
@@ABBADiego I may even order the CD. You did a very nice review.
All we want is to keep our hearts warm and imagining something we can hope for with music. ❤️
Thank you so much for this video! We really appreciate your time you put in your reviews!
Kochani,jesteście cudowni,przesyłamy Wam moc pozdrowień,kochamy Was,brawo ABBA!!!!!!
Very very good😉
Great review, Diego, thank you! I bought Cd from group's website as digital download, where booklet is enclosed in .pdf.. but maybe I will buy original CD too. Looks very good!
Thanks for this. I do miss the days of pure pop being plentiful. We're off to Voyage again on 2nd June - it'll be amazing if the playlist has been added to by then. A quick question- which ABBA- influenced artists have you enjoyed over the years since the early 80's, and which have you not clicked with at all due to personal taste or the fact they've 'ripped off' the Swedish foursome?
I believe the anniversary concert will be when set list changes. I quite liked Ace Of Base when they popped up, but they disappeared quite soon. I can’t say I did much listening to others, I was always waiting for ABBA to return.
