Ich bin ich (wir sind wir) - the first single release

The German pop phenomenon Rosenstolz were back with a new single, album and big tour after one year's break. The single "Ich bin Ich" was released in the middle of February in two versions. The first version contained two tracks from the forthcoming album: "Ich bin ich (wir sind wir)" and "Etwas zerstört" and two non-album tracks "Kannst du mich hochziehn" and  "Lass es liebe sein" - theme from the movie "Mutterseelenallein". The second version of the single contained 6 different mixes of "Ich bin ich (Wir sind wir)". The single has been released even in vinyl version as 12" with four mixes of "Ich bin ich".

Ich bin ich (wir sind wir) - the video

The video showed AnNa and Peter as children. Not everything in the film was true of course but many facts from their real lives were included. Young AnNa and Peter were played by children from one of the Berlin schools.

Das grosse Leben = a masterpiece...

The new album "Das grosse Leben" (The big life) was released on 3rd March and it featured 12 new compositions written by Peter, AnNa and Ulf. The album was released in two versions: the "de luxe" edition with a bonus DVD and the usual CD. The DVD contained four videos as well as the making of the album and the making of the video "Ich bin ich".

The songs on the album were quite typical Rosenstolz pop with catchy music written mostly by Peter and great lyrics written by both AnNa and Peter and Ulf. AnNa had lead vocal on 11 tracks and Peter on 1 - "Ein Wunder für mich"  which became one of our favorites after the first listening to the album. The opening track "Nichts von alledem (tut mir leid)" reminds of the ABBA' s opening track on their album "The Visitors". Even a limited vinyl version of the album has been released.

The tour schedule

A new Rosenstolz compilation

A new 2006 release in the series PMC Producers Master Cut featured the compilation "Mondkuss" with 24 songs on two CDs.

Rosenstolz on Tour 2006

The group was touring Germany during spring and early summer. The show was a wonderful mix of the old and new stuff. AnNa and Peter were in high form after the "time-out" in 2005. The most fantastic thing about the Rosenstolz new show was that the very new songs from the latest album which were by that time about 2 months old had already become classics! The reaction of the audience was incredible. The forthcoming single "Nichts von alledem" was a strong number performed absolutely great by AnNa. Peter was as usual "the clown" but an intelligent one. He was running around and stimulated the audience to more activity. But even Peter performed some serious tracks - the obligatory "Die Zigarette danach" and his new song which was absolutely wonderful - one of the best tracks on the latest album "Ein wunder für mich".  The definitive highlight from "Das grosse Leben" was of course "Aus Liebe wollt ich alles wissen" and it was probably one of the strongest performances during the show. The first single "Ich bin Ich" sounded maybe a little bit mechanical as "Willkommen" - the 2004 single hit from the album "Herz" but it worked live. The group performed some songs written and recorded at the very beginning of their career and they fit very well with the new ones even if you could understand how much the group had developed as a pop act. The wonderful "Die Schlampen sind müde" and many other tracks from the 1990s were of course included and they make the audience very happy.

The show was well directed and both AnNa and Peter changed places on stage all the time. AnNa (still) loves her hats and she changed her outfits several times during the show. Peter took over and he alone managed to keep the audience warm. Both Peter and AnNa are a great team and there is no doubt about it that they like each other very much and work together very good. The artists were joking about their past between the songs and there were some nice dialogs during the show.

The second single release from "Das grosse Leben"

The second single from the album "Das grosse Leben" had its release in 5 different versions on 26th May.

CD singles

The first single contained two previously unreleased songs - a demo/working versions of "Wo bist du" and "Alles falsch gemacht". The versions of the songs that were prepared for this single release had been stolen from the group's studio in April 2006.  The live CD with 5 songs from the 2006 tour was a great gift for all fans who had already seen Rosenstolz live in 2006. The tracks have been chosen by fans and it maybe surprises that there are no old favorites here as "Die Schlampen sind müde" or "Lass sie reden". 

Vinyl

The 7" single featured two mixes of "Nichts von alledem tut mir Leid"

The 12" single contained three different remixes.
