SIMONSCHMIDT
In his debut single "Von Tag 1" (From Day 1), SIMONSCHMIDT tells his own story of growing up and growing older, of a child playing Playmobil, of first love, of true friendship and of strokes of fate, and has managed to touch thousands of people with it. The songs, mostly wrapped in melancholy, tell personal stories, sometimes unvarnishedly honest, sometimes so metaphorical that you can't grasp them directly on first hearing.
Musically packed in atmospheric sound collages, in which acoustic and synthetic elements merge, warm strings meet vocoder and synth and lay down on carpets of electric guitars and piano. The vocals, often almost spoken, so close and personal, as if you were sitting opposite on the sofa, allow the listener to immerse themselves in the world of SIMONSCHMIDT, but always leave room for their own and personal interpretation.
Just when you think you've arrived, suddenly something unexpected happens, and that's what's so special. The music does not follow any "guidelines" of pop, but flows on and does exactly what is important for the story of the song.
