Modern Talking was a very popular German music group. It was a duo made up of two members: Thomas Anders and Dieter Bohlen. Their music was often called Europop, which is a type of pop music from Europe.
Modern Talking became one of the most successful groups from Germany. They sold many records and had hit songs that reached the top of the music charts in many countries. Some of their most famous songs include "You're My Heart, You're My Soul", "Cheri Cheri Lady", and "Brother Louie".
The Early Years: 1980s Success
Modern Talking first started making music in 1984. They quickly became very popular. During this time, their music had a smooth and catchy Europop sound. They released many hit singles that people loved to dance to.
The duo worked together for a few years. They released several albums and singles. Their first period of activity lasted until 1987. After that, the group took a break.
The Big Comeback: 1990s and Beyond
Modern Talking surprised their fans by getting back together in 1998. Their return was very successful! They started releasing new music again. This second period of their career lasted until 2003.
When they came back, their music sounded a bit different. In the late 1990s, the music popular in Europe was faster and more like Eurodance. So, Modern Talking changed their style to fit what people wanted to hear. They mixed their old sound with new dance beats.
They released new versions of their old hits, like "You're My Heart, You're My Soul '98" and "Brother Louie '98". They also released new songs such as "You Are Not Alone". These new songs also became big hits, reaching the top 10 in Germany and other countries.
