Falco – The Sound of Musik op vinyl

Falco – The Sound of Musik | Charisma bursting from the speakers

In 1986, Falco was at the peak of his international career. Rock Me Amadeus had even taken him to number one in the United States.

Standing still was not an option. Together with Dutch brothers Rob and Ferdi Bolland, he worked on Emotional, his second album with the production duo.

The follow-up had to arrive quickly

The Sound of Musik was released as the first single several months before the album. It was also Falco’s first release under his new US deal with Sire Records.

The song does exactly what Falco did best: German and English mixed together, speaking and singing, funk, pop and rap without worrying about genre boundaries. Several edits and extended maxi versions appeared immediately.
