It's been three years since
Claudia Jung's last proper album, 2009's
Geheime Zeichen, which was followed by a best-of collection in 2010 and a remix album in 2011.
Alles Nach Plan?,
Jung's 17th studio album, finds the German schlager singer with a new set of 12 songs which were composed by
André Stade,
Oliver Corvino, and
Hans Singer (
Jung's husband), with lyrics by Bernd Meinunger,
Tobias Reitz, Edith Jeske, and
Isabel Varell. The majority of the tracks are ballads, with the occasional uptempo number thrown in for good measure ("Elektrisiert"). ~ Christian Genzel
