When Falco began to work on his fourth studio album “Emotional“ in spring 1986, he was one of a few internationally successful artists singing in German language. Reaching #1 of the Billboard Hot 100 charts with “Rock Me Amadeus” from his previous album “Falco 3” in March 1986, he is the only artist ever achieving this historic summit in the US with a song in German. Adding this fact to his superstar status in German speaking countries and most of Europe, shows the magnitude a new Falco album meant to the music world at that time.

The release of “Emotional” was another successful chapter in Falco’s outstanding career. Released on November 1st, 1986, the album went straight to #1 in Germany and Austria and top 10 in several other European territories. Marking his debut with Warner Music, “Emotional” was the second Bolland und Bolland produced Falco album and including singles such as “The Sound of Musik”, which had great success outside the German-speaking countries as well and reached the US top 20 Dance chart, and “Coming Home (Jeanny Part 2. Ein Jahr Danach - One Year Later)”, which reached the top of the German charts and was a sequel to Falco’s famous 1985 song “Jeanny” about a young woman who had disappeared for a year and still hadn’t been found. Other notable tracks of the album were “Emotional”, “The Kiss of Kathleen Turner”, and “Kamikaze Capa”, the latter written as a tribute to the late photojournalist Robert Capa. This remastered version of “Emotional“ is celebrating the album’s 35th anniversary.
