German pop rock superstar Herbert Grönemeyer has announced that he’ll be releasing his debut UK album ‘I Walk’ on October 8th.
Herbert Grönemeyer, it’s probably safe to say, is the biggest selling artist you’ve never heard of. In his native Germany, he has outsold Michael Jackson, beating Thriller to the #1 spot upon its release. His 2002 album ‘Mensch’ is certified gold 21 times over in Germany, making it the biggest selling LP in that region of all time. Through his humanitarian work he’s made good friends with Bono, and in 2005, TIME magazine awarded him the title of European Hero to recognise these impressive efforts.
Film buffs might also recognise him from his role in Wolfgang Petersen’s epic Das Boot or his cameo in the Ian Curtis biopic Control, directed by Anton Corbijn, who Grönemeyer later teamed up with to score the George Clooney film The American. But it’s his four-decade spanning, chart-topping career that has made him the most loved performer in the German-speaking world.
Grönemeyer’s forthcoming album ‘I Walk’ held the working title of ‘Das English Album’ – for it is a tribute to the country that Herbert sought refuge and comfort in, following the deaths of both his wife and his brother within three days of each other in 1998. Appropriately, it’s Grönemeyer’s first release in his adopted homeland; a collection of songs in English, four reworked from his 2011 German release Schiffsverkehr (Shipping Traffic), six from older albums and three specially written for the record.
