Reviews of “schamlos schön”
” ‘Schamlos schön’ is … certainly one of the best CDs of German folk music that has ever been produced.”
— Roland Altenburger aka Orsin, “Orsinos Lied”, Radio Querfunk
“One of the best collections of songs I’ve heard in a long time.”
— Iggy Pop
“Tine Kindermann sings these songs with complete sincerity; songs of desperate lovers, of royal children, of the passing nature of the little flower and the hard dreams of dying. Spaces open therein like the ones we entered as children, when we listened, entranced, to the fairy tales woven from the same cloth.”
— Tanja Langer
“Tine Kindermann hat den Schlüssel zu Liedern gefunden, die viele nur noch aus der Schule oder von Großmutter kennen. Schamlos schön!”
“Tine Kindermann has found the key to songs that many only remember from school or their grandmother. Shamelessly beautiful!”
— Jonathan Scheiner, Jüdische Allgemeine Nr. 42/08
