Style
Annett Louisan plays a wide variety of music with blues, soul, jazz and swing. The lyrics of her songs are mostly about love, failure and disappointment. Annett Louisan is one of the few German artists who have obtained a high-profile with chanson-style songs. Apart from Louisan's own musical interpretation this is due to the lyrics of her producer, Frank Ramond, as well as the compositions of her songwriters, Hardy Kayser and Matthias Hass. Her lyrics also deal with the politicized issues of female self-conception and societal roles, creating a complex ambivalence. This became most apparent with her first single Das Spiel. In this song roles with contrary approaches to sexuality and interpersonal relationships (i.e. the child, the woman and the emancipated career) are combined. Musically, her second album moves away from pop and concentrates more on the French-German chanson-tradition. Bal-musette, Tango and Bossa Nova rhythms give the songs diversity. Unobtrusive backings allow the often breathy voice of Louisan to remain prominent.

Annett Louisan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ich brauch mehr von deinem Zeug und von dem Zubehör
Komm her und frag mich was ich such du bist mein Mann
Sprich mich an los sprich mich an
Ich möchte bitte noch einmal all diese Farben sehen
Mich wie auf Wolken in nem Meer ganz wilder Muster dreh´n
Du weißt genau wonach ich giere denn du bist mein Mann
Du bist so wunderbar
Was hast du heute da?
Mach mir die tägliche Dosis klar
Ich brauch ich brauch ich brauch
Ich brauch Stoff!
Du bist mein Push-up-Pusher gib mir dieses Hochgefühl
Mach mich besoffen mit nem Schuß mondänem Stil
Ich brauch´n Druck auf mein´ Gewebe Bruder hast du´n Tipp
Mach mich hip los mach mich hip
Deine Designerdrogen kontrollier´n mein krankes Hirn
Ey Mann ich häng an deiner Nadel gib mir deinen Zwirn
Ich bin beschaffungskriminell hier ist mein Geld
Du bist mein Held du bist mein Held
Du bist so wunderbar
Was hast du heute da?
Mach mir die tägliche Dosis klar
Ich brauch ich brauch ich brauch
Ich brauch Stoff!
The song "Ich brauch Stoff" by Annett Louisan portrays a drug-addicted woman's desperate need for drugs and accessories. The song begins by suggesting that she has already been there before and needs more than she did yesterday. She addresses the dealer, whom she refers to as 'mein Mann,' asking for his assistance in fulfilling her desire for drugs and accessories. She craves colors, patterns, and the high feeling. It is worth noting that the woman is not ashamed of her addiction but rather proud of it. She believes that the dealer is her hero, and she admires him for controlling her sick mind. The woman is willing to engage in illegal acts to get hold of the drugs herself, such as buying them with her own money.
The lyrics of "Ich brauch Stoff" are insightful and expose the devastating effects of drug addiction. The song artistically expresses the addict's perception of the world and how they feel about themselves. The song captures the addict's anxiety about not having enough of the drug they crave, as well as the intense feelings associated with drug use. The words used in the song reflect the hopelessness of helpless addicts and how they sometimes idolize their dealers. The message behind the song is explicit, and it intends to warn others about the dangers of drug abuse, mainly due to the effects it may have on an individual and society as a whole.
