Berlin's Schlager icon Andreas Martin is a favorite singer/songwriter in Germany's "party pop" scene, thanks to hit singles from the '80s like "Amore mio" and "Du bist alles” (Maria, Maria). Beloved for his ballads, Martin also crafts exuberant anthems with thumping disco beats just this side of ABBA. Though he may sing "Dieses Leben ist schwer" (This Life is Hard), his purring voice and upbeat arrangements make getting by feel just a little easier.
