Her new album \u003ci\u003eUnity\u003c\/i\u003e is released on Grönland Records. It is her first album since Volksbeat in 2011.The time was more than ripe. The 12 songs on Unity take us on a wild journey through a densely woven musical jungle full of chirruping, buzzing and chittering. Country twang sung over spacey synth grooves and rock pop playing overdub and sexy slow funk. Some songs tell of biblical miracles, others are feisty political tirades, and then there are covers: a country classic, a Sheryl Crow hit and even a Bob Dylan song with German lyrics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eUnity\u003c\/i\u003e plays with a multifaceted mélange of textures, samples and everyday sounds. Amidst this rich foliage of sounds and themes there is, of course, that voice; in the wink of an eye it transitionsfrom operatic to demonic, hitting insanehigh notes then plummeting to awe-inspiring deep bellows,as if she is trying to interfuse the sexes. Nina Hagen screams and hisses, belts out lyrics and performs recitatives, rasps and reverberates in electronic distortions. She launches intomusical dialogues and soliloquys. It is as if her voice is echoing into our time from another world. In short, \u003ci\u003eUnity\u003c\/i\u003e is a piercing, warm-hearted and varied Nina Hagen spectacle.
