wrong too ontario ontario my father has enough to know what my dad worked a lot and none of the trolling lines. about he worked in the mining industry as an advisor. i also had to go into the minds and he traveled a lot. after many years and he doesn't moves well as merton is firmly on the europe trail with her music homesickness has never been an issue but one canadian specialty can never be too far away. i love make etc i like putting maple syrup on everything pancakes crepes french toast. once when i was summoned to salmon with maple syrup isolationist it was also like. that might not be everyone's cup of tea but when it comes to her musical taste there is no argument no roots went platinum in twenty seventeen a success closely linked to or last moved to the german capital

a force that snuffed binning it's. all moving to the island my music is quite different it's developed a lot here i always have a guitar so i'm used to singing and playing guitar as a guitar. player but on the piano to say that i'm kevin at some point i wanted to create more of a rock sound. rock sound inspired by birth. things or music come across the concerts like here in leipsic. she smiles but she has a great voice these kids and i only know are from the radio so i want to hear her life she should dance i love how she sings because she puts a lot of power in his songs. alice martin likes to fire on all cylinders and under eight week european tour will be no exception she also rates staying fit to keep up the pace a side of the infamous i should definitely do more smitten by fast the plan anyway i was set so far that it's not going so well i will come back maybe that will

change i definitely have a yoga mat with me and our does that he should keep fit but when you're on stage it's like a workout anyway workout. the way alice martin likes to steamroll through life it seems like nothing can stand in her way. and i love merton wasn't the only good thing to come out of frankfurt our next big also hits from there and the rep has even dedicated the song to the city the track can be hurt on his fifth solo album and it's a really big hit right now. just trying. to sell a gun to the dumb public issue not just some. big dog. just the thing the media can. control things look good in atlanta you can influence the demand booster club. but struggling to spread the anger comes.

just close my eyes just come here to congress. stuff just in case could be the feeling. that. going to a slow slog. through loads. good. luck. for. that. kind of policy in the muslim league the state. can claim. this is a big deal if something were to come to me come to see the shock. absorbers the districts to be fond of playing. field stuff.

like. this increase could beat the phillies than it's been done for. just such a. good. player . in. short. sighted mistake by supply your state the structures and tell you for me of the flags should be by disk gone from the end saving. plan in motion the one for. the step just sinking for lead. to the source mike. thanks.

to a german like me might not seem so glamorous but the old they are really great wealth comes from germany's high rise city well we now know for one hot news about her and more from the german music scene up next. sabrina settle on the big screen her fans have been waiting for music for years in vain she prefers acting like you're in a comedy called for a piss take that she should sleep through she plays a nasty music producer making life tough as sammy the comedian to do that chill out and just walk around politics on a builder with the caucus kind of clung to sleep the repartee care fresh is also when the cost of the film comes out in german cinemas are much the twenty ninth.

is the kind of concept with even though it makes me a. gemini gentling them back to describes himself as a panicked rocker has an overrated a monument to himself panic city in hamburg will offer visitors a multimedia journey into his life and work lives with you should this will surely be a very interesting place for my fans the indianans on the banneker's oh yeah live from fingerpainting to virtual concerts would've been in that fans can get a very good idea of his universe at comics as he lived only original members of the hamburg band halloween are currently touring the world physic made it to it is called pumpkins you know said the legislature live

of album with a bavarian band trying to just under series of guest artists. we met the hip hop legend in hamburg where he lives and works he sees his music as a kind of confession i am therapy at the same time. but i. just keep. dateline's used as i know the notes is all my put things together because every experience that maybe i add something else but ninety five percent is authentic as much as authentic as it should not be stupid to write stuff i know a spray can of these even if i was the only one who knows i just wish. my public could come up with michelle. who after all is up every tree in the sand and he has

a special relationship with the german run which. is that. the discipline also bite about him so that's what we were charged they said kid you have to learn our language your culture our tradition come up and then we'll be able to talk about whether you're german or not finish what it was ok for me. but i wasn't interested in the language my spot i thought music was much cooler than rapping it was the feel cool it's written. but because i can do it well i do it and i think i'm a good ambassador for the country and the cough suite of software to do the slant once it is up. to come and not just this despite the hype was a lot of fun doesn't get this right after all his real name is right. it's an issue was born in italy that arrived in germany at the age of three months he was a surgeon speak made in germany which is also the title of an early album of his.

other hand or this is my understand it's not a smooth process to others it's a fish dish oh that's just mission a country would have to think things completely new to find a way. that's all that is most the slant for noir of complex lloyd and. the. little global messages with german rhymes that's after all and his hip hop made in germany. oh the memories that remind me of when i left in hamburg while i was training to be a dancer ok moving on. could have fantastic careers or futures on the pre with the single for their latest album captain fantastic so what happens before you become five let's find out.
