Jamma nich
Jamma nich is a studio album by German pop singer Nena. The title is a colloquial rendering of the German injunction jammere nicht! ("don't complain" or "don't whine"). Nena wrote the album with Annette Humpe (Ideal, Ich und Ich), who also co-produced, and Luci van Org (Lucilectric).[1] Their involvement may explain the "synth pop tendency" that makes it "a unique kind of semideparture in her catalog".[2] By the time Jamma nich was released, Nena was pregnant with her fifth and final child but continued a full round of TV and promotional appearances in support of the various singles released from the album until late into her pregnancy.[3] The first official single was "Ganz gelassen",[4] which at one point was called "Riesenarschloch",[5] a swear word included in the lyrics.[6] The second single released was "Alles was du willst";[4] there were also promotional singles "Jamma nich" and "Auf dich und mich".[1] The album enjoyed moderate success, peaking at No. 29 in Germany.[7]
