Just like his commitment to Schlager, the Berliner-by-choice also surprised with the list of his idols. There you can find the Scorpions, David Hasselhoff and the Flippers as well as Leonard Cohen and Hank Williams. You had to digest that first.
"'Afrika' is intelligently staged Schlager-Renaissance with a high fun factor, but behind the colorful facade lurks abysmal and profound", one could read at laut.de about the second Scrooge album. "Like a Serge Gainsbourg of the Alps, Dagobert strolls unerringly between the stools of pop, chanson and finely chiselled singer/songwriter-tum." With his third strike "World without time" is now - according to the Musikexpress - "Longing is over. Schlagerstar now also had girlfriends." After much consuming and despairing, the magazine now conjures up a paradigm shift in ten songs about ten different relationships based on authentic experiences. "For many years I was a heavy hermit," says Scrooge. "Now I've finally arrived in Berlin. I've met a lot of people, made real friends, and been able to give myself over to it all here."
