A question from a german songwriter

[SebMood]

Hello dear forum!


I have a special request...


 I've always rapped in German and recently wrote two songs in English because I think it feels better as a vocal, and I personally find it more "rounded" in English, in terms of the vowels and the exclusion of the harsh German consonants, which I usually quite like in rap. However, I also know that I sing/speak with a strong German accent, and I've been wondering for ages whether it might a) sound super annoying to native speakers, or b) maybe not so bad after all, or c) maybe even sound a bit "charming," as one sometimes reads...


This question has been popping into my head for days, and unfortunately, I can't answer it, so I thought it would make the most sense to simply address a community of native English speakers with a song. I would really appreciate it if you could give me some brief feedback on this! Otherwise, I really enjoy singing and writing lyrics in english, but I probably won't be able to get rid of my accent anytime soon...


 I'm very curious to hear some of your opinions! I wish you all a wonderful weekend and best wishes from western Germany, Seb

It works fine for me. I kind of like the accent in there.

Thank you so much, @Vicki !

That's very encouraging, and I'm really happy to hear it, especially when native speakers give me this feedback! As I mentioned, this is very uncertain territory for me and has been bothering me for a long time... I'm curious to see if there are any other opinions...

high five!
