Cologne (dpa) - Henning May, singer of the Cologne band AnnenMayKantereit, does not want to be limited to certain political texts in his music.

“I don't want people to have topic-related expectations of me,” the 28-year-old told the “Mannheimer Morgen” (Thursday edition).

“If a lot about politics flows into my texts now - I can only write about what I feel and to which I can find access.

You can't force anything else. "

There is also a political message in the title of the new album.

The group's third album was published digitally last week and is called "12" - alluding to the phrase "five to twelve", the singer explained in an interview.

“It's no longer five to four, it's actually twelve.

In all areas."

For example when it comes to climate change or the privileges of white men.

At the same time, the twelve symbolize not only the end of a day, but also the beginning of a cycle.
