Lafee: Comack of the singer feels "right"

In an interview with the news agency Spot on News, Lafee talks about the effects of her early success and reveals why the time has now "felt correctly" for your comeback.In addition, the 30-year-old looks back on her previous look with a temporal tattoo and dark clothing style, which she feels like "funny" today.

Almost ten years have passed since their last studio album.Why did the time for your comeback come now?

Lafee: I decided to come back because it just felt right.I had withdrawn for a long time to take a deep breath because I have made music for so long.Since I started so young, there was simply a point where I had to find myself and asked myself: "Is there anything else than music in my life?"But at the end of the day I always have the music in my heart and love to make music over everything.That's why I decided to return to the stage.

How long have you been working on your comeback?

Lafee: I worked on this whole musical process for exactly two years with my producer Christian Geller.

Her new album is entitled "Back to the Future" and is also reminiscent of the 80s with the selected songs.What do you combine with this decade?

Lafee: In the 1980s I actually connect my whole childhood, because even if I am a child of the 90s, I grew up with the 80s and 70s hits because this is my parents' generation.And since I was always interested in music, music was never limited to me and never had a beginning or end point.No matter what time she came from, I always found music super interesting and made myself totally curious.And that I now ended up for the new album in the 1980s has something to do with my personal story.With this time I combine a lot of memories and simply find that the 80s were the most appealing time for me from the music.

In the 2000s they celebrated great successes and top positions in the charts and won several echoes.What was the dark side of fame for you?What are you doing differently today?

Lafee: Because I was able to get to know a lot at a young age, which was a huge privilege for me and that I still appreciate very much, but of course there were also moments that were a bit harder.But if I now look back on it as a 30-year-old, I have to say that everything was not always cool, but these moments just belonged.Without them, I would not be the one that I am.That's why I wouldn't do anything else today, I would do the same again.From all this experience has become the person I am today.

They had their first appearance after more than ten years in the show "Schlagerchampions".Why did you want to celebrate your comeback there?

Lafee: For me it was a matter of course to come back with a huge bang.Because the music world has changed, there are no longer so many ways to return with a bang except with the grandiose shows by Florian Silbereisen that reach a large audience.That's why I performed in public for the first time in his show and my music just fit well into the whole costume.

In the past, their songs were very rocky, now they switched to the hit direction.How did that happen?

Lafee: I don't like to categorize the music and do not put it in a drawer.For me it is "music for everyone" that I do.For some it may be a hit, for the other German pop.I think I make music for my heart and that's important to me.

How do you look back on your former self with a temple tattoo and dark clothing style?

Lafee: In retrospect, I find it funny to look back on the temple tattoo and the dark clothing style.But that was what I liked back then.Of course, it also gave me a recognition value and I was able to stand out from other singers who were in public at that time.That's why I still stand by it and find it amusing with the distance of several years that as a young girl I had the idea of presenting myself on stage.

Today they like to show their naturalness.Why is that so important to you?

Lafee: It is very important to me today to be able to be and of course to be.It wasn't that possible in the past.I started at a time when I didn't even know who I was.But over the years - 15 years later - I was of course able to have experiences that also let me mature.Today nothing is more important to me than being authentic and being able to do what I love: Music about everything: Music.And I hope that I will reach the people with it and that they feel it as I felt and still feel.

For three years they played in the series "Everything counts".Could you imagine a return to the series or in general to acting?

Lafee: At the moment my focus is on my music.I was not really active musically for many years and I am now happy that the music plays a big role in my life again.Basically, I can also imagine playing in a film or a series again.

What plans do you have for your private and professional future?

Lafee: I hope that I can reach a large audience with my music and be able to travel a lot live again.Private that I'm just happy.
