Wir sind am Leben - the album

The album "Wir sind am Leben" saw its release on September 23rd, 2011. The long-awaited new album featured 11 new songs - 10 of them performed by AnNa on leadvocals and 1 by Peter. The songs on the album were in may ways more catchy than on the previous one, "Die Suche geht weiter". Many up-tempo tunes with certain influences taken in one case from South America. The title song is a type of Rosenstolz' own "The Winner Takes It All" and there seems to be more influences from ABBA as for instance a child choir singing behind AnNa in one song. Peter sings his composition "Mein Leben im Aschenbecher" for "real" this time instead for sing-talk and it sounds extremely good. AnNa is absolutely on the top of her vocal form.

 

   

The album was released as CD, CD+DVD-package and as a special box-package with some extras. It is even available as vinyl with gatefold cover. The DVD was a big surprise as it contained a... mini musical (ABBA influence even here?) entitled "Irgendwo in Berlin" (Somewhere in Berlin). The musical features 6 songs from the album with different artists playing and miming to the playback. One of the artists acting in the musical is the No Angels-star Lucy Diakovska. Even AnNa and Peter participate in some parts of the show. Other features on the DVD are the video "Wir sind am Leben" and Making of the video as well as two trailers.
