The first album ("Pearls") consists of 15 covered versions of well-known Independent-Hits like After Dark, Black Hole Sun or Black No.1.
This project was supported by many studio-artists, especially by Coralie Thomas & Katja Gutowski.
It contains minimalistic electronical background music, paired with classical to modern instruments leading the focus to the vocals.
The sound differs slightly song for song, mostly you could hardly recognize the original on first playtime. In any case, a new experience for fans of the original songs!

Summer Wine
Cinderella Effect Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kiss in spring....
My summer wine is really made from all these things
(Bono)
I walked in town on silver spurs that jingled to
And sang a song that I had sang just for a few
She saw my silver spurs and said let's pass some time
(Andrea and Bono)
Ohhhh...summer wine
(Andrea)
Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kiss in spring....
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you.....summer wine
(Andrea and Bono)
Ohhhh....summer wine
(Bono)
My eyes grew heavy and my lips they could not speak
I tried to stand up but I could not find my feet
She reassured me with an unfamiliar line
And then she gave to me...more summer wine
(Andrea and Bono)
Ohhhh....summer wine
(Andrea)
Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kiss in spring....
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you.....summer wine
(Andrea and Bono)
Ohhhh....summer wine
When we woke up, the sun was shining in our eyes
The silver spurs were gone, my head felt twice its size
She took my silver spurs, a dollar and a dime
And left us craving for.....more summer wine
Ohhh..summer wine...
The song "Summer Wine" by Cinderella Effect is a love ballad that tells a story of two lovers enjoying their time together, indulging in the delights of summer. The lyrics are written in a duet between a male and female singer, with Andrea taking the lead in the first and third verses, and Bono taking the lead in the second verse. The song opens with Andrea singing about the various tastes and sensations of summer - strawberries, cherries, and an angel's kiss in spring - all of which contribute to the "summer wine" that she and her lover are enjoying together.
In the second verse, Bono describes how he is walking through town wearing silver spurs and singing a song for just a few people. Andrea spots him and invites him to pass the time with her and enjoy some summer wine. In the third and final verse, the lovers wake up after a night of indulging in their summer wine and find that the silver spurs are gone, Andrea has taken the dollar and dime that Bono had in his pocket, and they are left craving for more summer wine.
The lyrics of "Summer Wine" suggest a love that is passionate and intense, but also fleeting and impermanent, much like the season of summer that they are celebrating. The repeated refrain of "summer wine" reinforces this idea, suggesting that the lovers are trying to hold on to the pleasures of summer even as they slip away.
