Florian Paul & die Kapelle der letzten Hoffnung

In the organizer's words:

Everything will be fine. Maybe. Definitely. It just has to. A little bit of optimism and hope are extremely valuable in difficult times, even for a self-confessed melancholic like Florian Paul, who has now released the third album in the band's history with his band Kapelle der letzten Hoffnung and sounds - by his standards - pleasantly positive. The charismatic 29-year-old with the warm, smoky voice, who has built up a steadily growing fan base over the past five years with melancholy love songs and other nocturnal pieces between jazz, pop and film music and has long been one of the most exciting and creative representatives of the German-language singer-songwriter scene, is taking an important step forward with "Alles wird besser". The new album is a response to its predecessor "Auf Sand gebaut", which was shaped by the coronavirus pandemic, a farewell to the general and private lows of those years and at the same time a continuation of the euphoric groove of tracks such as "Bella Maria", with which the band created a buzz both on popular streaming platforms and at numerous concerts on some of the most renowned stages in Germany. No more world-weariness: "I would say that we're in a spirit of optimism now," says Paul. And this is clearly audible.

Nevertheless, as a trained film composer (something he has in common with most of his band colleagues), Florian Paul remains true to his narrative style, the dark blue-tinted, thoughtful images from dark hours. The melancholy remains. "But for me, it's also an incredibly beautiful feeling and has nothing to do with despair or sadness," emphasizes Florian Paul. It has more to do with nostalgia, with memories of times gone by and the dream of a happier tomorrow. The latter is also the central motif of "Everything will be better".

"I think you can scale the messages. We want to offer an alternative to the widespread fatalism, because you can change things after all, even if it seems difficult." You just can't stop dreaming. Then maybe not everything will be good. But better.
