Released in 2005, Am Wasser Gebaut is German hip-hop trio
Fettes Brot’s comeback effort, marking their return after three years spent out of the recording studio. Lead-off single “Emanuela” placed second in Germany’s Bundesvision Song Contest in 2005, while the follow-up, “An Tagen Wie Diesen,” is arguably the group’s strongest song when it comes to social commentary. Veteran fans expecting nothing but rap may be surprised at what a large role R&B plays in the album’s overall flavor. ~ David Jeffries
