The series of single releases, which began in early 2025 with ‘headradio’ and paved the way for the release of the now fourth studio album ‘reunite’ with ‘take my money’, was adorned with several number 1 positions in the DAC and underpinned by various club shows together with RROYCE and DIORAMA.The album itself ties up many loose ends in terms of very personal experiences and socially critical observations, which are reflected in the lyrics, but also in terms of musical themes, some of which combine the young songwriter’s ideas from long ago with fresh aspects of the mature songwriter. Circles are closed, stories are told to the end, and with a song dedicated to Hilton’s father, an important chapter is revisited and concluded.
As usual, ‘reunite’ offers a musical range that combines electronically based Synth Pop with indie and alternative influences, but also incorporates a touch of industrial and EBM into the concept.
The album will be presented live at upcoming live shows with CHROM and the tour with BEYOND BORDER 2026.
