10th solo studio album by Nena (released after Himmel, Sonne, Wind und Regen, a 2008 album made for children). The album is her first to be released on her own label Laugh & Peas, and it comes out as a fine combo of her 2001 and 2005 releases, meaning primarily German pop / rock with some synthpop and / or electropop. The album is her first to include her twins Larissa and Sakias featuring on additional vocals on three of the songs. Apparently, Nena is so far the only artist to have had 14 singles charting on the German singles hit list - something she accomplished with the single "In meinem Leben" reaching number #4.
The album was well-received in Germany, reaching number #3 on the albums chart list.
