Fountain
Dota is back with new songs, a new chapter that fits perfectly into the series of her previous albums, but still new, as if a previously unknown ingredient had appeared in the song lab.
What's nice is that it could just as well be the first DOTA record ever. You won't miss anything you like about Dota, but the music is even more minimalist, bouncier - adults would say: more contrasting. The lyrics go even more directly into the heart of darkness, are even more devotedly searching, even clearer in the unclear. Perhaps it is also a product of her preoccupation with the poetry of Mascha Kaléko, to whose musical realization she has dedicated two albums in the last three years.
Question: What should songwriters sing about in these times?
Next question: What are "these times" anyway?
Dota also asked herself these questions in preparation for her new album. The answers lie in her path like signs on the road as soon as she starts working in earnest.
All it has ever taken is alert eyes, a voice that is her own and a heart that can hold more than her own retirement savings. Dota knows who she is and sees the things that connect her to and separate her from the world she lives in. Things that give her hope and things that repel her - which she confronts in her songs with honesty (Das wogende Meer) or biting irony (Milliardäre).
