Love Songs is the second studio album by German musician Peter Fox. It was released on 26 May 2023 through Warner.

It debuted atop the charts in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, becoming Fox's second number-one album in Germany and Austria, as well as his first in Switzerland. The album features guest appearances by Benji Asare, Adriano Celentano and Inéz Schaefer of Ätna.

Background

[edit]

After the release of his debut Stadtaffe in 2008 to massive commercial success, Fox announced to quit his solo career in July 2009.[1] Following a farewell tour, the artist continued work with Seeed with whom he released two studio albums in 2012 and 2019, respectively.[2] On 19 October 2022, Fox broke his silence and teased a comeback on his social media.[3] "Zukunft Pink", his first solo single in nearly 14 years, was released on 20 October. It became his first number-one single in Germany and reached the top 5 in Austria.[4] Fox released three more singles in the months preceding the album release: "Vergessen wie", "Weiße Fahnen" and "Ein Auge blau".

The album was announced on 26 April 2023.[5] Tour and festival dates from May to September 2023 promoting the record were published days later.[6]

The album received generally favourable reviews. Josephine Maria Bayer of laut.de thought the album was "way less exciting" than its predecessor but "holds up well" considering the high expectations.[7] Aida Baghernejad at Musikexpress opined that the record was an invitation to dance through a "mix of genres", mainly consisting of Dancehall and Afrobeats.[8] Likewise, Stern described the tracks as "extremely danceable".[9]
