Former GUANO APES Singer Comments On Solo Debut
October 6, 2007Former GUANO APES frontwoman Sandra Nasic has issued a statement regarding her recently released solo debut, "The Signal" (cover artwork),which came out on September 28 via G.U.N./Supersonic Records.
Said Nasic: "To have my own record is, of course, really cool at first! It's also very important to me for now.
"I didn't really think too much about the album title. It just popped up at some point. I knew in any case that the record would be called 'The Signal'. I guess it's probably the signal that I gave myself somewhere along the way.
"I just tried everything on the album. I've got some songs on it that are more in an electronic direction, others that are more hard rock, and I also have pop songs, so there's no real specific direction. I consciously took this liberty because I'm sick of only belonging to one certain genre. In the long run, that wears you out.
"The record features a few songs that are important to me — not all of them, but there are a few. For instance, 'Right Lane' was one of the first songs that I wrote back then with Christian Neander. It's about the exact moment where I could feel the music again, because for a while that just wasn't the case. In that song I was back on the right track."
The track listing for the effort is as follows:
01. The Name Of My Baby
02. Sorry
03. Right Lane
04. Fever
05. Mecasanova (Yamyam)
06. Do It Again
07. Stop The Crying
08. Old Shack
09. Big City
10. Perfume
11. The Signal
12. Counting Trees
13. Ireen
14. Fever (Video)
15. The Name Of My Baby (Video)
