New band of Chris Pohl (Blutengel) SHE HATES EMOTIONS - Reveal First Single 'See the Light' & Video!
The Eighties – a decade of artistic and musical freedom, heyday of New Wave and Dark Wave, the pioneering years of the movement that led into the dark music scene and movement. These were the times that shaped the artistic path of Chris Pohl (Blutengel). Now he wishes to pay tribute to his musical influences: She Hates Emotions.
"She Hates Emotions is minimalist synth music with an 80's touch. The focus is not on the bombast or production, but rather on the catchy, melancholic melody," comments Chris Pohl - and it is precisely this pure approach that bestows the highly emotional songs with their luminosity.
'See the Light' is the first single taken off the upcoming debut album "Melancholic Maniac" that is set for release on May 15th via Out Of Line Music.
Chris Pohl states about the single: "For me, 'See the light' really has 80's flair! The "ohoho", as you know it from Laura Branigan's "Self Control", the synth hookline... A catchy song, which, I feel, will not repel the Blutengel fans at all!"
And shares his interesting behind-the-scenes details about the shooting of the video:
"The video was shot primarily on location in Berlin, on the Kudamm. This is where I used to spend many hours of my childhood in the 80ies. At the movies, shopping, the Zoo, the Europa Center... This was where I used to spend my time off, because the borders were still there, and that's how one just spent the time in West-Berlin nearby the Memorial Church (Gedächtniskirche). Besides that, there were those pretty disco lights in the club scenery... If that ain't got an '80s vibe..."
With all the danceable and catchy tunes, the She Hates Emotions album title "Melancholic Maniac" fits just perfectly: "The songs deal a lot with the fear of being abandoned or with loneliness in general, with love and death," says Chris, who thus gives a lead to his devoted Blutengel fans.
Nevertheless: "Melancholic Maniac" is certainly not a Blutengel album, but it does transmit the prime times of bands like Depeche Mode, Anne Clark, Human League, Fad Gadget, Camouflage or Alphaville into the 21st century: She Hates Emotions.
