Maite Kelly Credits Roland Kaiser as Mentor While Pushing Sensual New Album and Arena Tour

Her revelation that Kaiser called seeking a song underscores a living creative partnership that shapes her menopause‑inspired, more sensual music and live plans.

Overview

  • On Friday, July 24, Kelly told the NDR Talk Show that Roland Kaiser was the first person to give her a chance as a songwriter and called him “my master,” saying she would not have her career without him.
  • She said Kaiser phoned her the day before the broadcast asking for a song for an important project, a detail that signals the pair continue to work together.
  • Kelly released the album 24/7 in May 2026 and describes it as her most sensual record, saying menopause hormones gave her the freedom to write more openly about erotic themes.
  • She is preparing a large arena tour for next year and said her team is making nearly 90 costume pieces for a high‑energy staging aimed at big production scale.
  • The exchange with Kaiser builds on a long partnership that includes their 2014 duet, which spent 12 weeks in the charts, earned fivefold gold certification, and has amassed roughly 181 million YouTube views, giving context to her current songwriting profile.
