On his second album titled Liebe, Luis Ake has successfully avoided the “sophomore slump”, because this record is top to bottom incredible. We can’t wait for you to read our full review, in addition to a background on this impressive artist.

Known for his genre-bending and incredibly inventive music style, Luis Ake is a German musician and producer who’s just put together his second record, Liebe. You can fully expect an eclectic mix of pop and electronic elements that are sure to get you moving and grooving around. From start to finish, this was such a fantastic listen that we can’t wait for you all to get your ears on.

Incorporating a wide variety of synthesizers and amalgamations of nearly all genres, Liebe has taken us by hold in the most positive way. At 10 tracks long, Luis Ake has concocted a cohesive listening experience that takes all unassuming listeners down a spiral of sound that’s filled with emotions, drama, and a whole lot of ingenuity. Truly, there isn’t a single a dull or lull present on the entirety of the record, you can sense so much of the thought and love that has been directly infused into this release.

While the vocals are certainly a centered component, we need to especially point out the killer production featured here. Our recommendation here is to listen on a nice pair of headphones as to not let the subtleties pass you by. As soon as the opener starts up, you’ll know exactly what we’re talking about. At 34 minutes in complete run time, this is the type of album that could legitimately be played at any moment’s notice, no matter the set, setting, or weather. If you’re in the mood to dance or bop along, Liebe is certainly for you.

Comparing to Luis’ debut album, we can definitely sense improvements across the board in nearly every facet, it’s a definite improvement. That’s not to say the debut fell flat, rather he’s growing as an artist in all of the positive ways. Seriously though, this is a record you should check out right now!
