Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the creation of a musician's image. Most of the album has a seductive female voice asking Klang questions about his love life. Klang usually responds by saying that he's single and too busy for love right now. Do you think these answers are sincere or scripted? Do they borrow from the success of reality TV? How important is it for Klang to be seen as an available suitor for female fans? Are the producers of the album trying to create the image of a lonesome singer looking for love?
