Jack Strify - Illusion

New Wave or Synth-pop? Berlin-based artist and singer Jack Strify blurs the lines between genres in his sound and vision to create a home for his songs and make them more authentic and vivid. My taste in music has always been diverse. In my teenage years, I was too rock-y for the pop people and too pop for the goth kids. I didn't fit in, so why should my music?The artist has always been drawn to the unconventional andstrange: German Glampop group Cinema Bizarre formed in 2005 and combined elements from Japanese Visual Kei with European synth sounds. This unsusual melange led to success all over Europe with their debut single 'Lovesongs (They Kill Me)', followed by three albums (Final Attraction, TOYZ, Bang!), touring the globe and supporting Lady Gaga on her 'The Fame Ball' tour in 2009 in the US.I feel confident enough with my new material to release my first full length album. The sound has developed to be more mature, diverse and more universal. adds Strify. I gave my album the title ILLUSION because I fall in love with illusions so easily and in the end I'd rather have my illusions than none at all. What is real anyway?
