Zunge (German for "tongue") is the debut solo studio album by German singer and songwriter Till Lindemann, released independently on 3 November 2023. The album was preceded by the eponymous single on 8 September 2023, as well as three singles "Schweiss", "Nass" and "Lecker" on 29 September and "Sport frei" on 27 October. While Lindemann wrote the album's lyrics, the music were written and produced by Sky van Hoff, Daniel Karelly, Olsen Involtini, Lois Cass and Clemens Wijers.[1]

Background

On 7 July 2023, German newspaper Die Zeit confirmed that the album had been completed for some time.[2] While the album was finished and in the hands of Universal Music, both Lindemann and the label agreed to suspend their collaboration for the album's release.[3] As a result, the eponymous lead single and the following singles was not released by the label.[4]

The album was self-released by Lindemann on 3 November 2023. The physical release of the album features the 2021 single "Ich hasse Kinder" as the seventh track between "Tanzlehrerin" and "Nass".

Lindemann is set to promote the record through a 24-date solo tour in Europe from November to December 2023.[5]
