Negative Positive
Title: Moving heart and soul aggressively
Review: Xavier Naidoo is a German rapper and singer who's extremely popular in Germany. He is a modern prophet. Half of the songs on this album involve his belief in God, without trying to convert anyone. He also sings about societal issues. At other times he forces the listener to tears with intense intimate songs about fear (Kleines Lied) and his memory of a dear friend (Abschied Nehmen). His singing is infused with a rare energy; he clearly feels what he sings in every vein of his body, and I assume most listeners will feel the same. This is the best album I have heard in fifteen years. This double album is live, with an incredibly tight, funky and soulful band. Here's someone who raps as tough as any American rapper,and sings as soulful as Marvin Gay.Despite the seriousness and intensity of the lyrics, the general feel of the album is moving, adrenaline boosting and uplifting. Xavier Naidoo is an exception tot he rule that the most fun things aren't good for you.
Is the review positive or negative?
