Probably won't be everyone's thing as all in German. Has a very 90s sound, she still looks well fit though. Called Herzalarm.
FINCH & BLUMCHEN - "HERZALARM"
The thing with Blumchen I always found kind of unusual is she was singing music that had a very 1996 rave sound. Even though it was considered commercial. Yet her main fanbase was probably young then and that had likely never gone to raves or used party drugs.
She even used to dress and looked exactly like girls you would see at Sanctuary parties like Hardcore Heaven, Fusion & Helter Skelter. These events were always full of chicks dressed like her. Before all the Candy Shit was around. But I don't think she ever performed at any rave parties despite all her mid 90s performances all having a rave style theme to them.

Oh, damn! It must be obvious that I should like to this track, because it was referred that I shold take a listen! Yes, Bl?mchen (Blossom) seems to be interessted to make a musical comeback, although she had been more into the theatric scene. Rave on!

Obviously the video is supposed to be tongue and cheek and is practically supposed to parody old (awful) happy hardcore videos....but despite being a big fan of dutch/german (pengo/arcade) happy hardcore style I'm not a fan of the track.

I appreciate they made it though.
I'm with you. I feel like it's missing those lush synths for a driven melody.

This track seems to be interesting, because it kind of supposed to sound like a typical track back from the 90's.
Well, I do understand why especially the ravers, who are more focussed to the harder kick dislike this one. Now, I am an old fart, who is grunting about the development of Electronic Music and I simply adore the music, how it was produced back these days! I'm sorry, but this is me!

To my point of view, it is very ineressting that the first half part of this video seems to be dedicated to "Dune- Hardcore Vibes". I smiled a lot to notice this kind of connection! This fact is very amusin! I love it!

like it or not it's Blumchen (Blossom)'s style. it's alright but the only Blossom tune i really prefer was 'Heart to Heart'

Absolute sh!te, couldn't be more cringeworthy.
Scooter meets Vocal gaycore (96 onwards remix)
No idea why, but reminds of this and seeing it at Harmony of Hardcore from Partyraiser
Haha yeah definitely cringeworthy. Most of the German Happy Hardcore was back in the day and still is. I cringe at Scooter these days too.

I do remember the days of early youtube and discovering different hardcore from mainly Germany and the Netherlands.
I think from my memory that Blumchen means blossom in english and she was some young teenager at the time of some of the commercial/mainstreams hits ...
i remember Boomerang by blumchen... that's about it.
Thought it was mainly eurodance sort of stuff to be honest

I've always considered Blumchen/Blossom and 1994-1998 Scooter to be more rave/techno-like version of Eurodance than actual Happy Hardcore tbh
