One of the reasons I have always loved doing this blog, albeit in fits and starts, is because there are some awesome tunes out there that simply never cross over into the English speaking world. Last fall, "raop" (a self-named cross between rap and pop) star Cro hit it very big in the German speaking world, with his second album "Raop" hitting Number 1 in the German and Austrian charts and Number 7 in the Swiss charts. Yet here in America. . . nothing.
Well, that's why I'm here. Today I bring you one of Cro's big hits from this mega-hit album,
Einmal um die Welt. This song perfectly puts on display exactly what Cro means by raop. It has the lyrical drive and density of rap, while having an uptempo beat that makes it hard to sit still. Having had the chance to listen to Cro's other music, this theme carries through well, and makes him an artist worth following moving forward.
