Roland Kaiser’s New Album: ‘Marathon’ Set to Release
At 72 years old, celebrated artist Roland Kaiser is gearing up for the launch of his new album, ‘Marathon’, which is scheduled for release on February 7. In a recent interview with spot on news, he shared insights into how this album reflects his life journey and how he balances a hectic schedule. Kaiser also touched on his multi-generational fanbase, the unwavering support of his family during performances, and his thoughts on celebrating his upcoming 73rd birthday on stage.
Creating ‘Marathon’: Challenges and Inspirations
When it comes to the production of ‘Marathon’, Kaiser collaborated closely with arrangers Alex Wende and Lee Caspi at the renowned Berlin Hansa Studios. He expressed the desire to create a sound that feels modern and internationally appealing. “The biggest challenge is merging American pop influences with our unique style,” Kaiser explained. With the assistance of sound mixer Michael Ilbert, who has worked with top-tier artists like Coldplay and Taylor Swift, he feels confident that their efforts have resulted in high-quality tracks.
The album features uplifting tracks such as ‘Ich werde da sein’ and ‘Sag jetzt kein Wort’, which resonate with positivity. Kaiser attributes his optimistic outlook to his inherent mindset, always viewing the glass as half full rather than half empty.
One notable inclusion on the album is a remake of the iconic Rosenstolz track ‘Liebe ist alles’. Kaiser shared that composer Peter Plate reached out to him to record the song for an upcoming tour featuring the musical ‘Romeo and Juliet’. “I love the song and aimed to make it my own, and I believe we achieved that,” he remarked.
Reflecting on his career, Kaiser likened it to a marathon where perseverance is key. He has never contemplated quitting, viewing his journey as a fortunate marathon rather than a sprint or middle-distance run. His character is rooted in endurance, with a long-term vision that drives him.
The cross-generational appeal of his music is evident at concerts, where audiences of all ages come together. Kaiser attributes this success to the genuine connection he fosters with both young and older fans, who appreciate his artistry.
Looking ahead, 2025 promises to be an exciting year for Kaiser with an arena tour, summer open-air shows, and the anticipated Kaisermania concerts. However, he remains unconcerned about the demands, viewing the live performances as the pinnacle of his career.
Behind the scenes, a dedicated team ensures smooth concert experiences. From the tour organizers to his supportive wife who helps him focus on his performances, Kaiser acknowledges the collective effort that contributes to his success.
Despite his packed schedule, he makes time for family, with his wife and daughter often accompanying him. His daughter even manages his social media and merchandising, reinforcing the family bond on the road.
As for hobbies, Kaiser finds fulfillment in his work and maintains his fitness through daily exercise in his home gym. Looking ahead to his 73rd birthday on May 10, he humorously admitted that he didn’t realize he would be performing that day until it was too late, feeling a bit uneasy about the prospect of a crowd singing to him.
When asked about slowing down, Kaiser remains noncommittal, stating, “As long as I feel good, stay healthy, and people are interested, I will continue to work.” His passion for music and commitment to his fans keep him energized and focused on the future.
