TAFKATNO is a cool album full of good songs, which they will definitely not play on BEST FM, which is the greatest compliment I am capable of.

I like music that goes beyond classical ideas and it’s hard to put it exactly in any style. Danish musician Michael Kratz makes such music – unique, exceptional and interesting. He is an artist who has won several awards in his homeland for his work.

After a great response from his album Live your life (2018), this westcoast master finally released the novelty TAFKATNO on September 24, 2021. He collaborated with a number of guests. For example: Christian Warburg (Paul Young), Bruce Gaitsch (King Of Hearts, Madonna, Peter Cetera, Chicago, Elton John, Joe Cocker, Lionville), Torben Lysholm (Pangea, Mysterell, Acacia Avenue and others)

If you want to know the meaning of the name, don’t look in dictionaries. It is short for “The album formerly known as the next one”. Did you laugh too?

Ten songs and one bonus contain a nice mix of music. The author certainly won’t deny the influence of pop, but it doesn’t hurt the music. The songs are fun, catchy and Michael’s voice has the right soulful drive. You can feel the wonderful joy of music from every tone.

There are good melodies, nice guitar beats and interesting arrangements. The album clearly has something to say to every person who likes quality and does not need to have things exactly boxed.
