Fifteen years after Personal Jesus, Nina Hagen returns to her great passion for gospel music with HiGHWAY TO HEAVEN. Together with producer Warner Poland, her band, and friends such as Nana Mouskouri and Gitte Hænning, she reinterprets classics—from Mahalia Jackson to Sister Rosetta Tharpe to Kitty Wells.
The album combines Southern gospel, Americana, reggae, and punk: from the powerful reworking of “Somebody Prayed for Me” to the Americana version of “Never Grow Old” and a German version of “Everybody Wanna Go to Heaven.” HiGHWAY TO HEAVEN is a lively, genre-defying gospel-rock-pop album, full of joy, spirituality, and Nina Hagen's unmistakable personality.
