Tokio Hotel – Humanoid album background
 |
|
Tokio Hotel’s latest album (second English studio album) is called Humanoid. There is significant sci-fi imagery presumably aimed at a male audience, while the band’s look aimed at female fans. The album features production from hit alchemists The Matrix, and is inspired by science fiction and was recorded both in German and English .
Bill wanted record to have only one name worldwide. The word Humanoid is pronounced differently in the English and German but it is written the same way in both languages. There were twenty – five songs recorded for the album but only twelve tracks appeared on the standard version while sixteen on the deluxe version. The producer of the album is again David Jost. And as a singer Bill Kaulitz said there is more experimentation on this album that on the previous one. The album has a number of various parts and melodies.
It can be quite confusing for our fans as Billy said but the band cannot wait to play it live. The new direction is evident especially on the track “Humanoid”. Billy shifted melodies a handful of times. Jost adds that the brothers took on a big role and a more hands-on approach in the studio for Humanoid.
This is the first time when Bill and Tom have co-produced a majority of the tracks on the new album. All process was intuitive even though Bill and Tom had a very clear vision of how the tracks should sound. The cover looks like a concoction of Terminator, Brain Salat Surgery and Bill Kaulitz all bundled into one humanoid.
