Classic

Vertigo is a multinational music label that was launched in the UK on November 7, 1969. It quickly gained popularity and was adopted by other labels within the global Phonogram group. In 1971, Vertigo made its way to the US through the Phonogram subsidiary. The label became known for releasing popular progressive rock albums in the 1970s and is currently owned by Universal Music Group.

The original logo of Vertigo, known as the "swirl" logo, was created by Marina Apollonio in 1967. This iconic logo remained in use from 1969 to 1973 and featured a plain white A-side with a complete tracklist and a black B-side for certain releases. In early 1973, the label design changed to another iconic image called the "spaceship," which was painted by Roger Dean. This design appeared in various shades of blues and greens throughout the '70s.

Around 1981, UK releases of Vertigo started using a more plain design with an orange background while other European markets continued to use the spaceship design. With its rich history and diverse range of artists, Vertigo remains an influential force in the music industry today.

Herbert Grönemeyer is a phenomenon. He is the most commercially successful contemporary German musician and each of his albums since 1984 has reached first place in the local charts. He has achieved this feat eleven times so far. His mega-seller “Mensch” from 2002 is the second best-selling album of all time in this country with over 3 million units sold. And of course the Londoner's numerous hits are omnipresent on every German radio, at every party and - at least - in the VfL Bochum stadium.

But Herbert Grönemeyer has always been a chronicler and at the same time a conscience of German society, with a keen nose for people's moods. That's why it's not surprising that his new album "That's what's going on" addresses, among other things, the increasing division in society in recent years.

The singer contrasts this with songs like “Deine Hand”, the first single from the album. Grönemeyer says about this: »I think we have been very isolated in the last few years. That we felt like we were very much on our own. Also due to the virus, which of course made us all very lonely. When you have the feeling that people are thinking about you, when you realize that you can only make it together and only by simply supporting each other and understanding that there is a great meaning in life and great opportunities in friendships and support - then you will Your heart is already lighter and you feel safe and held.«

“Angstfrei”, another pre-release single from “Das ist los”, takes a similar note. A song to support the many young people who are fighting the big problems of our time in various organized movements. Here too, the message is: we can only do it together and with courage. Musically, the song is clearly oriented towards the 80s, with a clear NDW feeling.

The mixture of contemporary pop music and pointed, sometimes personal and sometimes more general lyrics is simply typical Grönemeyer on “Das ist los”. The musician remains true to himself on what is now his 16th studio album.
