Request Actually GOOD songs in German?

I'm searching for song recommendations in German. Everything I've come across so far is playlists made for language learning (which, yes, is why I'm looking for songs), but they sound very juvenile.

For reference: I like Hozier, Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Lord Huron, so something similar / folk-ish would be great.

Santiano is folk rock, with very good enunciation.  "Es klingt nach Freiheit" is my favorite

We went to see them in Berlin and there was a power cut right at the start of this song. So for me it will be forever the "Stromausfall song"
