THE MUSICBROKERS from Hamburg and the Frankfurt based indie publisher MELODIE DER WELT have decided to join forces and have signed a long term co-publishing agreement. Among the joint activities are two firmly planned songwriter camps per year directed by THE MUSICBROKERS team.
Contracts were recently signed at the Hamburg harbor. Says MELODIE DER WELT’s A&R John Ruhrman: “THE MUSICBROKERS are exactly the guys I have been looking for. Actively working on various levels, excellent network of selected authors, permanently looking for the right song for the right project. One of the main issues of our cooperation are the pending songwriting events.”
Tom Nevermann, A&R and associate of THE MUSICBROKERS is “happy to have found an indie partner like MELODIE DER WELT who lets himself in for our creative way of working and has the necessary flexibility in supporting us and our authors.”

With much pride we warmly congratulate our author and artist ELAIZA on making it to the finals for the Eurovision Song Contest on May 10, 2014 in Denmark.
Already some time ago our partner Valicon Music discovered ELAIZA and her charming and sublime band and we together signed her.
Last Thursday the band again came out on top among various already famous artists during a voting of the TV station NDR. ELAIZA’s success proves that even in 2014 a band can be good for a surprise with a good grooming, great songs and the right A&R vision. We’ll keep our fingers crossed for the big Eurovision Show in May.

His 53rd studio album “Mitten im Leben” (“Knowing What Life Is All About”) with twelve current songs which was released on February 21, 2014 sailed directly to no. 3 of the international album chart. Besides songs with provoking humor and witty plain language there are others with more placid and poetic thoughts from real life.

In time before the start of the tour on October 24, 2014 MELODIE DER WELT will release a songbook of the new album “Mitten im Leben”. You will find a note on our website as soon as it is available.

Helene Fischer is still climbing up the German charts. For weeks now her latest album "Farbenspiel" has been in the top 10 in the album charts. Her current hit "Atemlos durch die Nacht" with its dance floor beats has been in the top 10 in the singles charts for weeks alongside the likes of Avicii, Pharell Williams and Eminem.
The lyrics and music to "Atemlos durch die Nacht" were penned by the famous pop singer Kristina Bach, who also wrote the lyrics for other Helene Fischer hit songs, such as "Phänomen". According to one description of the single, "it is about breaking free from the humdrum routine of everyday life, doing crazy things without thinking about tomorrow or the consequences, having fun and living for the moment".
The separate version of "Atemlos durch die Nacht" for piano and vocals is available to order now (order no. 8900335/01/89, ISMN 979-0-2049-0531-7).
We can also supply separate versions for vocals/piano of the Helene Fischer songs "Du lässt mich sein, so wie ich bin", "Ich will immer wieder… (dieses Fieber spür'n)", "Mitten im Paradies", "Phänomen" and "Fehlerfrei". Please go to "Sheet music" for more information about the versions.
