Born in Siberia but a German resident since the late '80s, Helene Fischer makes music that combines the exuberance of schlager with the sort of heartbroken, all-or-nothing pathos you more often find in American country. On tracks like her 2009 breakout "Ich will immer wieder," she sings about the passion of new love, her big vocals invoking Olivia Newton-John's pop crossovers while synths and strings dance below with ABBA-like melodic sophistication. Later concoctions, like "Atemlos durch die Nacht," from 2013, have embraced Eurodance and EDM, Fischer's voice soaring over beats that swell and swell under every verse.
