The long-awaited solo album from Latvia's favourite German (I'm presuming, I haven't conducted a survey) is finally here for all to enjoy. Most of the songs are upbeat, from the catchy opener, Let Me Pick You Up, to cheerful joys like Friend In Japan, but the album is not without its introspective, poignant moments, for example, Are We in the Same Boat, and the beautiful Lullaby. A firm favourite with me is Jellyfish, presented here in two versions. Throughout the album, Steinhauer tries on a variety of musical hats, but all songs come with his witty, often insightful lyrics, and infectious tunes you won't be able to get out of your head. A splendid piece of work that has already got me hungry for the next album!!
