summer and autumn 2019. A special highlight will be the concert on 08 September 2019 in the adopted home of the artist, that will take place in the Hamburg Elbphilharmonie. Annett Louisan does not want to continue to please in her learned role, and dare something new. Less flirting with characters and figures, less illuminating the grey areas between "me" and the respective "role", but daring more truth, more veracity. It's about the famous next step. What should I do with the time ahead of me? Do I want to take responsibility? Where do I go with all my love? With my little love and with my big love. With my "little big love". Sooner or later these questions come. For Annett. Maybe on everyone. And in the best case, these questions resolve themselves in the dialogue between the artist and her audience. We live in a world of incessant enthusiasm for ourselves, in which we seek projection surfaces, and are some ourselves. Yet it is much more exciting when we are thrown back on ourselves. And once we have grown up and there are no more excuses, we have to redefine ourselves. Some time ago Annett started to sort everything out anew. In the beginning there was a history of breakups. From the old management, from the producers, co-writers with whom she had worked successfully for years. Also her old label ceased operations, her artistic home in Hamburg is sold by her label to Munich, and Annett now sees these changes as an opportunity, less as a danger, and she makes her new way through the dissolving old world. That's your "The River," a friend says to her. Bruce Springsteeen, in the song of the same name, describes people who have to adjust their dreams and goals because life has changed.
Annett Louisan has changed, arrived, only to leave right away. The new album is finally an album on which she tells, that is even more about her than before, that comes closer to her than any of her previous albums, and that still fits so well and so coherently into the life and artist story of Annett Louisan. Arrived she is, because all the dreams of being young have been lived, and at the end of dreams there are often ugly truths; and set off she is, because there are so many new ways to go and live. And it's worth it.
Annett has also taken on this responsibility, now living in Hamburg with her husband and daughter. If you Loose, don't lose the lesson, someone says to her on a trip through Andalusia in late summer, still traveling with the camper, but also with child and cone. And he is right. We wander from place to place, and in the end we return home. Their journey has been a long one. It's been almost four years since their last regular studio album, and it took a lot of courage to take that time and give it. A brief interim step was a covers album of songs that mean a lot to her. One last tour in 2017, already pregnant, was another loving embrace with her audience. And then there was silence. On her upcoming tour "Kleine große Liebe" Annett Louisan tells about the
way of an artist to grow up, to stay attentive, to take responsibility for herself and others, and to stay true to herself.
