Stanfour – Rise & Fall

Releasedate: 04-12-2009; Label: Universal
By: Nina Mende

Stanfour is a pop rock band founded in 2004 in Northern Germany. They have now released their second album.

It has been a while since “Wildlife” was released and it was about time for a new one and here it is: “Rise & Fall”. The songs remind a lot of OneRepublic and a-ha. Touchy and thoughtful Stanfour leads you through these 11 songs. The songs are slow and the lyrics are deep. This album does not include very danceable songs as the last album did. “Stars” and “Face To Face” are about the only ones with electro beats you can dance to on this album. The first song starts with a wonderful piano intro and stays quite romantic. “Life Without You” is a very beautiful piano ballad. Very emotional and sad the voice goes right underneath your skin. A little deeper goes “Take Me Or Leave Me” though. “Say You Care” has a very catchy melody. Most of the songs get stuck in your head easily.”Tired again” has a funky melody in a way. With a soft and touchy voice Konstantin sings all the songs. “Rise & Fall” is a great album to listen to with a loved one. Enjoy.
