Falco

Musical Group or Musician

Austrian singer closely associated with the Neue Deutsche Welle and 1980s international pop, best known for hits such as "Der Kommissar" and "Rock Me Amadeus."

Viennese artist celebrated for an ironic, charismatic style combining funk, rap and synth-pop. Deceased in 1998. Posthumous releases include Verdammt Wir Leben Noch.

Two reviews by Danny The Kid celebrate Falco's role in Neue Deutsche Welle and his late-period creativity. Wiener Blut is praised as an eclectic, characteristic album; Verdammt Wir Leben Noch is seen as a worthy, surprising posthumous collection. Both reviews highlight Falco's blend of pop, funk, rap and electronic experimentation.

For:Fans of 80s synth-pop, Neue Deutsche Welle, and listeners curious about Falco's late-period work.

 How strange: "Verdammt Wir Leben Noch" is a posthumous album.

 Narrator, showman, salacious storyteller, ironic and characterized by a personal style, captivating and immediately recognizable: Hansi Holzel, known as Falco, was the prominent face (along with Nina Hagen) of the German way of synth-pop, the so-called Neue Deutsche Welle.
