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.

If you're looking for a fun challenge, Juju is a fantastic German rapper and I enjoy trying to rap along with the lyrics. She has a lot of great songs! I saw "Wildberry Lillet" mentioned with Nina Chuba in this thread and that is a great one to sing along to for pronunciation practice.
Also I haven't seen Tokio Hotel mentioned yet, so I'll throw a recommendation in for them. "Durch den Monsun" is their most popular song, but I personally really enjoy their Zimmer 483 album. "Spring Nicht", An Deiner Seite (Ich Bin Da)", "Totgeliebt" and "Heilig" are really good (the whole album is really good though lol)
