After her English-language sophomore album, "Germany's queen of soul"
Joy Denalane returns to German lyrics on her third album,
Maureen. Despite the fact that it's been five years since
Born & Raised and nine years since her immensely successful debut, Mamani,
Maureen is a direct continuation of her mixture of classic and modern soul. Co-written with her ex-husband,
Max Herre, and produced and arranged by a number of international musicians (among them Steve McKie and
Jake One), the album reached number eight in the German album charts. ~ Christian Genzel
