Josefine
Hansi Lang was an Austrian pop and rock musician who emerged during the early 80s wave of German-language New Wave and NDW (Neue Deutsche Welle). This 1984 single captures the spirit of that era perfectly—a pop rock sensibility with new wave edge. "Josefine" and "Lauf" showcase Lang's gift for crafting accessible melodies wrapped in the angular production and synth-informed arrangements that defined the movement. The A-side is a memorable ballad that builds with confidence, while the B-side adds kinetic energy. If you're drawn to the Austrian and German pop scenes of the 80s, or looking for lesser-known gems from the NDW moment, this single is essential listening. Hansi Lang deserves more recognition in conversations about that period.
