On his previous album, German musician Axel "Aki" Bosse (46) devoted himself entirely to dreaming. Now the Hamburg native has returned to reality. Sometimes even in harsh reality.
With his tenth studio album "Stabile Poesie", Bosse wanted to "be more social again and open his mouth", as he said at the album launch in Hamburg.
"Don't get f***ed"
He has achieved that. He caused a sensation with one of these new songs even before the album had been fully released. The pithy title - "Lass Dich nicht f***" - is already worth talking about on its own. The background, however, has set a wave in motion on social media.
It's about hate comments that women in particular are exposed to on social media. Bosse wanted to use the song to encourage all those who are victims of verbal violence on the internet.
"Pleasing and frightening"
"Lass Dich nicht f***" (in the child-friendly version, Bosse sings "Lass Dich nicht zwicken!") became a small anthem for many who have since made these insults against themselves public. "I was totally surprised that this chanson was such a hit. It's both pleasing and very frightening," Bosse told the German Press Agency (DPA).
But he is very happy that he was able to give the subject a stage and a melody, so to speak. His world had also been flooded by it, because he had written and spoken to many people who used his song for this purpose. "And I then realized pretty quickly what a pathetic world it is, how blatant it is, how little I am affected by this hatred on the internet and how it affects women so incredibly, of course."
Despite the socially critical songs, fans don't have to do without the typical Bosse sound for dancing. "Every Bosse record definitely needs a dance song. Definitely," said the musician, who grew up in Braunschweig. There are several on the album.
