Since his breakthrough at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2004 with Can’t Wait Until Tonight, Max Mutzke has been regarded as one of the most versatile voices on the German music scene. Whether it’s soul, funk, pop or jazz, Mutzke moves effortlessly between genres while always remaining his distinctive self.

With his latest album Soul | Viel | Mehr, he elevates his artistry to a new level. Together with the award-winning SWR Big Band, he presents a work full of energy, emotion and musical sophistication. Opulent arrangements lend fresh brilliance to Mutzke’s own songs, such as Welt hinter Glas and Marie, while giving classics a radiant new shine.

Following its initial release as a CD (SWR19169CD) in November 2025 – which sold out within just a few weeks and after several reprints – a curated selection of tracks is now being reissued as an exclusive heavyweight LP.
