About this album

Nena’s international album is a sharp, infectious snapshot of German new wave breaking into global pop. Issued in 1984, it repackaged the band’s sound for English-speaking markets while keeping the punch, melody and nervous energy that made 99 Luftballons a worldwide hit. Built on synthesised hooks, bright guitars and Nena Kerner’s direct vocal presence, the album helped carry Neue Deutsche Welle beyond Germany and into mainstream rock and pop circulation. Its best-known songs made the band a defining export of the era, with 99 Luftballons becoming one of the decade’s most recognisable anti-war anthems.
