German independent folk artist Fish And Scale, the musical project of Roland Wälzlein, has never been interested in taking the easy road. His songs often explore life’s deeper mysteries, blending folk influences with spiritual reflection and unconventional songwriting. With “Letter from Paulus,” he turns to one of the most enduring texts ever written on love, reimagining the message of 1 Corinthians 13 through a moving, timeless, and intensely personal pop-rock ballad. |

Nowadays, we are bombarded with meaningless songs with shiny wrappers but little content. Fortunately, there are artists like Fish And Scale who still manage to give ancestral emotions with his songs. I’ve been following Fish And Scale’s artistic path for a while now and I must say that every time he manages to surprise me.The depth of his interpretation is touching. His compositional skills make me think of artists like Neil Young and Bob Dylan. The depth of the words and their meaning still echoes in my head. |

Das mit Sanftmut und Inbrunst vorgetragene, auf Piano und akustische Gitarre basierende „Unmask Myself“ wird sicherlich weitere und nicht nur namhafte Fans anlocken. Zu überzeugend und nachhallend die Performance von Roland Wälzlein. Roland verfügt über eine fantastische, ausdrucksstarke Stimme, die ich sofort ins Herz geschlossen habe. Und er singt eine respektable Mischung aus Country, Folk und vor allem Blues, die sehr amerikanisch klingt. Kein Wunder also, dass er in den USA auf offene Ohren stößt. |
