Shout It Out (Elli Erl Album)
''Shout It Out'' is the debut studio album by German recording artist Elli Erl. It was released by BMG in association with 19 Recordings and Hansa Records on October 4, 2004 in German-speaking Europe, following her participation in the second season of ''Deutschland sucht den Superstar'', which she won. While she was offered to record a full album with ''DSDS'' judge and producer Dieter Bohlen, Erl declined in favor of different collaborators, citing his pop sound and lyrical approach. Instead, musician Frabo was consulted to work on the majority of pop rock–driven ''Shout It Out'', along with songwriters Rea Garvey, Guy Chambers, and Erl herself. The album received mixed reviews from critics, with laut.de praising Erl's vocals and the laid-back attitude of the album but criticizing the overall production of the songs. A moderate commercial success, it debuted and peaked at number 33 on the German Albums Chart The GfK Entertainment charts are the official music charts in Ge ...

Elli Erl
Elisabeth Maria Erl (born 25 May 1979) is a German singer-songwriter.

While none of the singles released from these albums became major hit singles on the pop charts, songs such as "In My Dream", "Not My Type", "Get Up" and "Can't Deny It" entered the German Single ...

Pop Rock
Pop rock (also typeset as pop/rock) is a fusion genre with an emphasis on professional songwriting and recording craft, and less emphasis on attitude than rock music. Originating in the late 1950s as an alternative to normal rock and roll, early pop rock was influenced by the beat, arrangements, and original style of rock and roll (and sometimes doo-wop). It may be viewed as a distinct genre field rather than music that overlaps with pop and rock. The detractors of pop rock often deride it as a slick, commercial product and less authentic than rock music. Characteristics and etymology Much pop and rock music has been very similar in sound, instrumentation and even lyrical content. The terms "pop rock" and "power pop" have been used to describe more commercially successful music that uses elements from, or the form of, rock music. Writer Johan Fornas views pop/rock as "one single, continuous genre field", rather than distinct categories. To the authors Larry Starr and Chri ...
