Venerable artist Thomas Anders unveils his latest creation, the album named "Modern Talking"
Thomas Anders, the iconic German singer known for his work with Modern Talking, has released a new album titled "Thomas Anders ... sings Modern Talking: In the Middle of Nowhere." The album, which dropped on August 8, 2025, is not the first release this year in connection with Modern Talking's anniversary.
One of the standout tracks on the album is the reinterpretation of "Cherokee Highway." The music video for this song, released on the same day, features an intriguing visual interpretation of the song, blending Thomas Anders' current vocals with a digitally recreated sound from his earlier career. This innovative concept allows for a unique nostalgic effect, with Thomas Anders singing alongside an AI recreation of his own 1980s voice.
The AI-generated duet is not the first time artificial intelligence has been used in Thomas Anders' music career. In March, a KI version of Thomas Anders was featured in a viral advertising campaign for the Reuffel bookstore. Interestingly, the KI version of Thomas Anders also appears in the "Cherokee Highway" music video, alongside a younger version of himself.
The album includes reinterpretations of songs from Modern Talking's fourth studio album and bonus tracks, with "Cherokee Highway" being one of them. The previous campaign featuring Thomas Anders' KI self, accompanied by the song "Cheri Cheri Lady," gained nationwide attention.
The new album continues Thomas Anders' project without Dieter Bohlen, who was a key member of Modern Talking. This isn't the first time a KI version of Thomas Anders has been used in a music video; the same technology was previously used in the Reuffel advertising campaign.
The music video for "Cherokee Highway" was released on Thomas Anders' official YouTube channel, providing fans with a captivating blend of old and new. The previous campaign, which also featured Thomas Anders' KI self, gained nationwide attention, making this new release highly anticipated.
In the beginning of 2025, Thomas Anders started a project to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Modern Talking, and the release of this album is a testament to his dedication to honouring his musical past. With the innovative use of AI, Thomas Anders has managed to create a unique and nostalgic experience for his fans, making "Thomas Anders ... sings Modern Talking: In the Middle of Nowhere" a must-listen for any fan of the legendary singer.
Technology plays a significant role in the music video for "Cherokee Highway," featuring an AI-generated duet with Thomas Anders. The reinterpretation of this song, along with other tracks on his album, also showcases the fusion of old and new in the entertainment industry, thanks to modern technology.
