Song Review/ Soul Rock : Ulrich Jannert’s ‘Wander Still’

Ulrich Jannert is a singer-songwriter with a spectacular sense of style. With vocals that extend out to worlds and universes of emotion and a performance that keeps you swirling between them, he outdoes himself every single time. His latest release is ‘Wander Still’, a collection that explores moments of soul rock with contemporary pop in ways that are reminiscent of Adele, Lady Gaga, and John Legend.

The artist’s vocal ability especially marks this release. In the breakout track, ‘I’ve Walked Through Fire’, his voice gives us the journey, the struggle, all with a triumph that has you feeling stronger by the second. That’s what he does. He takes a piece of human experience and leads with an authenticity in a way that transforms the atmosphere of the theme. 

We see it across this album, in tracks like ‘Step Into the Light’, ‘Coming home to you’, ‘Butterfly Soul’, and a few others. The album is meant to make the listener feel connected. To something, anything and through that see the beauty that exists around. Using transformative imagery and a larger than life performance, he draws you into that circuit, has you thinking at that frequency. 

This album, ‘Wander Still’ is about embracing the wild, staying open and free despite it all. Despite life, despite technology, despite the course of time. Just keep wandering and stay in touch with who you are and the nature around you. He expands this to a point of euphoric liveliness that moves you. 

The title track is a soul rock rise, one builds up to a powerful height. With a lofty instrumental play and sheer vocal force, he compels us to come alive, come out of our screens and keep it real. Tracks like ‘Sunrise Direction’, ‘Sometimes I walk my street no looking’ have a moody, country blues to them. It draws you in deeper, to the cozier demons, ones that form with contemplation and thought. They are acoustic rock tracks that take you places. And the journey is not only meaningful but so scenic. With great intricacies in the instrumentals, all culminating in his vocals, the songs come to life. 

And just like this, the album expands and enthrals in so many different ways. It’s best to view the collection as a journey through a valley. Each song showcasing new influences, philosophies, and soul connections. The artist takes you to such beautiful peaks, shows you grand views and epiphanic perspective. It’s a beautiful way to spend an hour of your time; to wander and explore, take the time to see. Listen Now!
