Background

After the release of his debut Stadtaffe in 2008 to massive commercial success, Fox announced to quit his solo career in July 2009. [1] Following a farewell tour, the artist continued work with Seeed with whom he released two studio albums in 2012 and 2019, respectively. [2] On 19 October 2022, Fox broke his silence and teased a comeback on his social media. [3] "Zukunft Pink", his first solo single in nearly 14 years, was released on 20 October. It became his first number-one single in Germany and reached the top 5 in Austria. [4] Fox released three more singles in the months preceding the album release: "Vergessen wie", "Weiße Fahnen" and "Ein Auge blau".

The album was announced on 26 April 2023. [5] Tour and festival dates from May to September 2023 promoting the record were published days later. [6]

The album received generally favourable reviews. Josephine Maria Bayer of laut.de thought the album was "way less exciting" than its predecessor but "holds up well" considering the high expectations. [7] Aida Baghernejad at Musikexpress opined that the record was an invitation to dance through a "mix of genres", mainly consisting of Dancehall and Afrobeats. [8] Likewise, Stern described the tracks as "extremely danceable". [9]
