Fifteen years after Personal Jesus, Nina Hagen returns to her great passion for gospel with Highway To Heaven. Together with producer Warner Poland, her band, and friends like Nana Mouskouri and Gitte Hænning, she reinterprets classics – from Mahalia Jackson and Sister Rosetta Tharpe to Kitty Wells.

The album blends Southern gospel, Americana, reggae, and punk: from the powerful reworking of “Somebody Prayed For Me” to the Americana version of “Never Grow Old” and a German version of “Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven.”

Highway To Heaven is a vibrant, genre-bending gospel-rock-pop album, full of joy, spirituality, and Nina Hagen’s unmistakable personality.
