Haddaway was born in Trinidad, spend time in the US, and began his career in Germany. He’s been recording albums since 1993, and has had a few world wide hits during his long stretch as a recording artist. In America, Haddaway is remembered for one thing, and one thing only. “What is love / Baby, don’t hurt me / don’t hurt me / No more”. A single monster single driven by an infectious and unstoppable beat and synth line. Haddaway never had any other American success. He’s hardly needed any other. It reached #11 in the US, then became a hit again when Chris Kattan and Will Ferrell used it as the theme for their “Roxbury” characters on SNL and the film A Night At The Roxbury. It became a hit again in 2009. And that’s all the Haddaway any American needs to know. And that will do just fine.
The album Haddaway is actually the American re-release of his debut album, The Album. It’s as predictable as they come. Track after track repeats the formula of “What Is Love”: very upbeat, bright synths, basically mindless dance music. Even a version of Bob Marley’s “Stir It Up” does little to show any kind of variety at all. The track list here is different from the album the rest of the world got, but it doesn’t matter much. Haddaway was a one trick pony, and he only had one song that would stick in your head for any period of time. On the plus side, you pretty much can’t be sad when you’re listening to Haddaway, and that head bop that starts with “What Is Love” only stops when the album does. This is absolute music to shake your stuff to, and it won’t make you think at all. If that’s what you’re in the mood for, then Haddaway is for you. Otherwise…listen to “What Is Love” and put it away. That’s about all there is here. [First added to this chart: 01/19/2026]

2012 – KAIROS
Produced By BARBARA FRANZEN & PETER OSWALD
1. Vulcano
2. Art Of Metal I
3. Art Of Metal III
First of all, I think I should clarify that you are not going to find a single note of guitar on this album. Even though two of the three tracks are titled Art Of Metal, it’s not traditional metal rock music. Metal, in this case, refers to Alain Billard’s instrument, which is the metal contrabass clarinet. This is classical music…but this is not your great grandfather’s Beethoven. This music is by the French composer Yann Robin, and even though it’s not metal as you know it, this is not for the light hearted. Conducted by Susanna Malkki, this music goes from being almost jazz to downright frightening. There are moments of beauty, but if that’s what you’re looking for, you won’t find much of that here. This album plays like a soundtrack to a haunted amusement park, and if you dare to listen to it in the dark, it could scare the crap out of you.
These three long tracks are avant-garde journeys that take some getting used to, but which can also be quite rewarding. The Ensemble InterContemporain works in different sizes, from 17 to 29 players, and is an excellent group. The third track also incorporates electronics into the mix. Each one of these tracks is over twenty minutes long, so the music is allowed to stretch out and breathe quite a bit. Once again…this is not music that will be a fit for everyone. It’s quite possible that you may find it to be overwhelming, and some may find it simply unlistenable. But there are some stunning moments in this music as well. While it may seem somewhat brutal at times, there is also a real beauty to this modern classical journey that can be worthwhile to a listener with an open mind. If you’re willing to take a journey like this, you may be pleasantly surprised by it. [First added to this chart: 01/14/2026]
