Sonia Liebing demands: Playback is totally uncool - let's sing live!

In a current podcast, the aspiring pop singer Sonia Liebing has made it clear that she has a strict aversion to playback appearances. As a result of the podcast "But please with a hit", moderated by Anika Reichel and Julian David, she expresses that she sings live and that full playback is not an option for her. "Playback singing is totally uncool," said Liebing, who sees it as a matter of honor to perform authentically in front of her audience. She is convinced that even in times of perfection on the part of the organizer, which should be the focus.

Liebing criticizes the widespread practice, which can often be found in the hit industry: the use of full playback or half-playback, where only the music comes off the assembly line. She calls for her colleagues to sing live, even if it may not sound perfect. "This is a sign of respect for the audience," she emphasizes. Instead of fearing the lack of perfection, it sees it as important to offer real experiences because the fans want an authentic experience.

Playback and the hit scene

Again and again, the problem of playback singing is pointed out in the music industry, especially in the hit. Many artists tend to use Playback for perfect performances, which Sonia Liebing sharply criticized. It speaks openly about an existing system within the hit industry that prefers playback, and explains that TV shows and organizers often demand playback for their programs. This means that many appearances do not offer honesty and authenticity that numerous fans expect at live events.

Liebing, which is currently working on a new album and is planning a tour after its release, has already made a remarkable career. Despite hoarseness, she even got through an entire concert series to do justice to her fans. Their dynamics and attitude could have a positive impact on hit music by encouraging other artists to distance themselves from Playback practice.

Schlager: A look at the genre

Schlager itself is a genre of European pop music that is characterized by catchy instrumental accompaniment and simple, soulful texts. Typical topics are love, relationships and emotions. The term "hit", which originally means "hit" or "blow", has its roots in German and was first mentioned in 1867. Folkloristic influences are particularly noticeable in the Nordic hits, which often has melancholic texts.

The genre has changed a lot over the years and developed from operettas from the early 20th century. Well -known pop artists such as Lale Andersen and Freddy Quinn shaped the scene in the middle of the 20th century, while an upswing in the 1990s with artists such as Guildo Horn and Michelle took place again. Nowadays, stars like Helene Fischer and DJ Ötzi are not only very popular in Germany, but also internationally. The genre always reaches new heights and has found its own special niche in the music landscape of today, supported by large events such as the "Schlager Move" in Hamburg.

The debate about playback and authenticity remains a hot topic, while Sonia Liebing clearly and clearly represents its point of view. Their commitment to live performances could give the hit scene fresh wind, while the fans are looking for real musical experiences.
