Estella

Das Jewelcase hat Nutzungsspuren und Aufkleberreste, das Booklet ist etwas abgegriffen, CD mit oberflächlichen Kratzern.

The third solo-CD of Ulf Jacobs "Estella" ist different. The mixture of Pop and Prog is the same and also the influence of Phil Collins is current. But something is new: the lead-vocals. Uls sings only backing-vocals. Jess, Maraike, Makana, Jockel and Steffen are invited to sing lead. So the Overall Impression is a lot more of variety and diversity. Also the Songs are different. "More than beautiful" is a simple Popsong, "Mellomania" is a wonderful Prog-instrumental and "Estelle" is a lovely ballad. And one more Thing is new: Ulf uses brass-sounds in "Nothing but you", just like his model Phil Collins. But in total the Album is as melancholic as allways.
