2001 is the seventh studio album by German band Tokio Hotel. It was released worldwide on 18 November 2022. [1] [2] [3] [4] The album's name, the cover and the tracklist were revealed through YouTube Premium live on 19 July 2022. 2001 is the band's first studio album in well over five years, following Dream Machine (2017), marking the longest gap between two Tokio Hotel studio albums.
Front singer Bill Kaulitz recalled in a statement that the lockdown gave the band time to be creative with each other again: "For the first time in a long time, it felt a bit like it did back then, more than 20 years ago," says Kaulitz about the recording sessions.
This also explains the title of the new long player: "2001" is a reference to the year in which the band met and founded for the first time. According to Kaulitz "On the one hand, the album goes back to the roots [5] [6] but it also combines all the Tokio Hotel facets of the last two decades," [7]
The album title, "2001", is a reference to the year the band first met. [8]
Prior to the album's announcement, the band released the singles "Melancholic Paradise", "When It Rains It Pours" and "Chateau" in 2019, which despite not being included on the album served as promotional singles for a seventh album. A fourth single, "Berlin", along with the three aforementioned singles, was performed during Melancholic Paradise Tour 2019 prior to the song's release in 2020.
Critical response to the album was mixed. Take To News criticized the album stating "It seems a bit as if Tokio Hotel had given up." [9] Frontstage Magazine however praised the album, calling it "Super danceable and super haunting". [10]
All tracks are produced by Tom Kaulitz, except where noted.
