AMAZING

Xavier Naidoo is nothing short of amazing. I lived in Germany for half a year, and was able to see him perform live. He has an amazing voice and has a style that no other artist has been able to capture. His voice is soothing and he frequently mixes that mellowness with a bit of hip hop or blues. This combination makes him one of the most talented singers out there.

An Angel's voice

I can only agree with all those who already responded to this fantastic CD.
The first time i heard from Xavier was when he was still a part of Roedelheim Hartreim Projekt and I have been his fan ever since. And being that i am from Germany but living in the USA for the past six years he also helps me staying connected to home. Xavier's new CD "Zwischenspiel/Fuer den Herrn" (2 CD's) is even better then the previous one and i hope that more and more people over here get a chance to enjoy him as much as i do.
His songs as himself are very spiritual which many who do not understand the language know as of now and I appreciate his afford to bring all of us closer together, especially in times that we are in right now!

Einfach Ausgezeichnet

This is the album that put Xaiver Naidoo on the map in Germany, Europe, and smatterings of other places on the planet.

It has been six years since the release of this record, and things have obviously changed in Xavier's life (not the least of which is his relationship with his production team led by Moses Pelham).

You do NOT need to speak German to appreciate this music, but it definitely helps. This is especially true of his double album follow-up to this release "Alles Fuer den Herrn" which is a truly exceptional work. The reason is that the things that Xavier says are important. But it depends who you ask.

There is a considerable amount of religious imagery in Xavier's music, both overt and covert. This can turn off quite a few people, especially in a place like Germany, but it is an accurate reflection of Xavier's Afro-American musical roots. I've even had discussions with (white) Germans who do not consider Xavier's music "German" because of the way he looks and the way he sings. Go figure. Xavier just continues to sing about it.

Great record by a guy who surely at some point will conquer America.

the future of r&b indeed!

i am an american living overseas...if r&b doesn't go in this direction, it does itself a great disservice...this is some of the best r&b i've heard in many, many years...his voice is enchanting, the music is rhythmic, the lyrics -whether you understand them or not- are poignant...

well done, xavier...

Xavier please come to the States!

I too heard of Xavier Naidoo on line. I must say that his music has completely captivated me. I'm a black American and I don't speak any German,( with the exception of causal greetings) yet, I find his music to be almost anointed and refreshing. I promise you, his music will appeal to all! Particularly if you're eclectic. Brief, is so soothing yet powerful. I also love his work with Manhiem Sohn, sp?? Please if anyone knows a site that gives the translation of his music, or if he'll be in the U.S.A, please let me know ...There are many people here in the states who would love to see him.

You are gonna be impressed

He is one of the most successfull German singers an he is going to conquer America. I recommend RZA s new Album.
The record features two songs with Xavier Naidoo: ( Album Titel: the world according to rza)
ich wei?(on my mind, Duet with Deborah Cox)
and "ich kenne nichts"
Buy "Nichts von dieser Welt" it is one of the best foreign language albums.
