14 Apr Fritz Speck – „Immerhin“
Fritz Speck is finally back: On April 11, we can look forward to his first new single of 2025 – and what a track it is! “Immerhin” pulls you in from the very first verse. “‘Immerhin’ is the kind of song you listen to when everything’s basically crap, but for once, you feel kind of okay,” Fritz explains. It’s a track that doesn’t sugarcoat difficult times but instead highlights the small glimmers of light. There it is—that famous light at the end of the tunnel…
The song doesn’t pretend that everything is suddenly fine just because you have nice clothes, friends, sunshine, and the ability to admit your flaws. But sometimes, there are things that slightly ease the pain, that make the situation feel a bit more manageable—or at least a bit more irrelevant.
Just like with his debut single—the stripped-down, moving piano ballad “Wollt’ ich wirklich, dass du gehst?”—and the follow-up “Gleichgewicht”, “Immerhin” also feels like it’s over far too quickly. One listen isn’t enough—repeat mode: activated!
With “Immerhin”, the 20-year-old reveals a promising new musical side: the production leans more electronic while keeping the emotional core of his earlier work. The track opens minimally with piano and builds up with a driving beat toward the chorus—this time, it’s danceable!
At the heart of the song once again is Fritz’s remarkable voice. The lyrics in “Immerhin” are once more spot-on: poetic, yet strikingly direct when needed—balancing melancholy and hope:
Doch immerhin scheint wieder Sonne wo sonst keine war
Und immerhin hängen coole Sachen an meinem Kleiderhaken
Und immerhin kann ich jetzt sagen, dass ich scheiße war
Und immerhin muss ich auf meinen Dealer nicht alleine warten
While the verses express a feeling of heaviness and burden, the chorus lifts that tension—blending lyrics and production into a well-crafted emotional arc. With his third single, Fritz confirms his talent as a songwriter and brings a refreshing angle that leaves us wanting more.
Even though the world still feels like it’s on fire: “Immerhin” brings us some much-needed great new music in this exhausting year of 2025, from a truly promising new talent like Fritz Speck. And that’s something. At least.
