Nena - Willst du mit Mir Gehn

2005 release of the followup to Nena's successful 20th Anniversary celebration. The title translates as "Are You Going With Me" and German fans (and other round the world) resoundingly answered "Ja"! Divided into "Red" and "Orange" volumes, the band takes a short U-turn into a few disco tinged tracks, but merges ahead with all the best characteristics of their past taken into the new century with great musical sense and innovation, pushing them forward with renewed vigor.

THE BEST CD OF NENA!

This is the BEST cd of Nena! WOW! I must say that the musical genius is finally arrived. So many deep, emotional ballads and up tempo music, so many songs, all tell the story that makes you want to listen to it more! The Red CD is the REAL new Nena cd and the Orange is the musical exploration CD - both genius - my absolute favorite Nena solo CDs. Finally I think Nena is maturing artistically - and seems she feels free to do what she really likes. The results is some excellent music that you cant get enough of - way to go Nena! Keep at it! Can't wait for more - the next album. January 6, 2008

Excellent, Engaging, Passionate Album

What a great album! Nena has shown yet again her ability to reinvent herself. This is a two-CD set, the Red CD being more conventional, the Orange CD is what I would call "experimental," the result of a Mallorca jam session. But wow, the Red CD! Nena has always had the power of the draw in her songs, but here she has perfected it. Almost every song starts with a tease of some sort, a tension of expectation where you think that the song is really going to go somewhere, and on virtually every song on the Red CD, that is the case. Her quasi-rave Vitamine is excellent, you could call it Madonna-esque, except that it's better than Madonna. The best songs on this CD are Nena's own compositions. Nena has managed to express a yearning and passion in these songs which are usually the reserve of hungry young people half her age; when you listen to the music, you feel like you're 18 and in love again. The lyrics are, well, simple, but like most good rock n roll, you buy the music for the the beat and the passion and the way it makes you feel, not for the lyrical content. This is a no brainer, one of the best albums of 2006, in any language. December 27, 2006

Not bad at all

Well so this is Nena's latest album...and it is really not that bad at all. OK to some degree it is still very typical of some european poppy new wave stuff from the 80's but it is still very fresh somehow. August 6, 2006

Wonderful!

Nena has some awesome songs on the first disc, the second disc is so-so. But the first one is so great, almost every song is a hit! August 31, 2005
