When Nina Hagen does something, she does it with full conviction. And when she releasedPersonal Jesusin 2010, shesurprised us with an album that dives uncompromisingly into the world of gospel. Since her return to the Christian faith,

she has expressed her religious devotion inPersonal Jesusby combining gospel with a mixture of blues, rock, soul andfunk – powerful, passionate and without irony.

Her version of Personal Jesus (originally by Depeche Mode) in particular attracted attention: where the original remainscool and minimalist, Hagen turned it into a moving gospel anthem full of spiritual ecstasy.

Now, 15 years later,Personal Jesusis released on vinyl for the first time – as an anniversary edition on colouredvinyl. As a special highlight, this edition contains the previously unreleased bonus track I Was Born to Preach theGospel, which is the first track on the b side of the vinyl and fits seamlessly into the album as if it had always been part ofit.
