About Claudia Brücken
Claudia Brücken, born on December 7, 1963, in Berching, Bavaria, Germany, is a German singer and songwriter. She is best known as the lead vocalist of the synth-pop band Propaganda. In 1983, Brücken joined Propaganda and relocated to London when the band signed with ZTT Records. The band’s debut album, “A Secret Wish”, was released in July 1985. Brücken left Propaganda in 1986 to remain with ZTT Records.
Following her departure from Propaganda, Brücken formed the duo Act with Thomas Leer, releasing the album “Laughter, Tears and Rage” in 1988. She embarked on a solo career with the 1991 album “Love: And a Million Other Things”. In 1996, Brücken began collaborating with Paul Humphreys of Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD), and they later formed the duo Onetwo, releasing the album “Instead” in 2007. Brücken has also worked with pianist Andrew Poppy on the 2005 album “Another Language”.
In 2012, she released “The Lost Are Found”, an album of cover songs. Her 2014 solo album, “Where Else…”, was a collaboration with producer John Williams. In 2018, Brücken reunited with former Propaganda bandmate Susanne Freytag under the name xPropaganda, releasing the album “The Heart Is Strange” in 2022.
Her upcoming solo album, “Night Mirror”, is scheduled for release in July 2025.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
