William Wahl - "At night all keys are grey" (Digipack CD)
“ At night all keys are grey” is the third album by Cologne singer and songwriter William Wahl, and after his “Wahlgesängen” from 2018, the second on which he devotes himself to the high art of the chanson.
Now a multiple award winner, the head of the a cappella band basta combines the comical with the poetic and intellectual depth with cheerful lightness with impressive elegance.
He tackles both the pitfalls of the zeitgeist and the big and unchanging questions of life. He looks at the party spirit of his hometown of Cologne with a loving, mocking eye, sings heart-rendingly about female drivers of white SUVs and struggles with the pitfalls of gender in his solo a cappella number "Interior Designers". Without forgetting the most important topic of all - love, to which he dedicates songs that are both touching and bittersweet.
