The Frank Popp Ensemble, Mr. Popp's musical project, gained popularity between 2001 and 2003 with the Top-20-Hit "Hip Teens Don't Wear Blue Jeans" and released three great albums. Now he is back with his new album "Shifting" to be released in January 2023! With help from many wonderful guest singers like Jesper Munk, Aydo Abay, Lucy Kruger, Kat Ott from 24/7 Diva Heaven, Anna Glahn and classic FPE singer Sam Leigh-Brown, Mr. Popp wrote, recorded, produced and mixed „Shifting" in Spain between January and March 2021, accompanied by Jascha Kreft (Odd Couple) for the songwriting sessions. The first single "Out Of Town" is released on 29th July 2022 and is the first Frank Popp Ensemble single since 17 years. Watch out, world! The 16-song heavyweight takes us on a colourful journey through vintage soul scorchers, psychedelic soundtrack scapes, spector-esque sound walls, bootboy glamrock and even a riviera space-disco tune can be found on the new longplayer. Of course lotsa things changed in that many years. Many lyrics are written by Popp himself, out for trouble in impertinent phrasing here and there. The music has become mature and deeper tho and his voice can be heard on two songs, the first time ever. It sure is a remarkable piece of high quality music, that’s been delivered here. Watch out, world!
