Interview Excerpt:

Dan Davis: Musically, the project sounds quite different from your previous work. The German lyrics, combined with a pop-like feel in tracks such as "Vergessen SIE alles!", made me think of Thomas D at first. The project seems to fit within the electro-pop genre. What are your thoughts on that?

CENTURIO: Yes, I think you could say that. Electro-pop is a fitting term. Honestly, I never really thought about it beforehand. Over the past few years, I’ve been developing myself and noticed certain changes along the way. As an artist, you eventually feel when it's time to take the next step. Resisting that urge would be unwise. Today, I’m very happy with my artistic journey and incredibly grateful for where it has taken me. Your comparison with Thomas D is quite interesting.

This candid response from Centurio reveals his reflective approach to evolving as an artist. His willingness to embrace new directions in his music, particularly the electro-pop style, demonstrates his creative versatility. The comparison with Thomas D, known for his success with Die Fantastischen Vier, highlights Centurio’s ability to combine elements of pop and electronic music in a fresh and distinctive way.

The track Vergessen SIE alles! showcases the experimental essence of CbK, marrying Kromproom’s production skills with Centurio’s vision. It’s a blend of innovation and musical transformation that fans of electronic music, especially those with a taste for electro-pop, can appreciate.

For fans of electronic music, this collaboration between two talented artists offers a fresh sound that is at once introspective and innovative. The entire EP captures the creative synergy between Kromproom and Centurio, making it a must-listen for those seeking a unique electro-pop experience.
