He responded (hear audio below): &#8220;When we&#8217;re on the road, I do my exercises. And also, right now, being in the studio and singing every other day, recording [the new <b>SCORPIONS<\/b> album], I do my warm-ups and my vocal exercises. And so far, it got me through this pandemic times pretty good. We spent a lot of time this year working on songwriting and working on new songs in the studio.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When we made the decision to make a new album, it&#8217;s such a challenge after all these years \u2014 from many perspectives,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;The voice \u2014 how you keep your voice going on this level; it&#8217;s a challenge for the songwriting; and for the whole process. And so far, I must say I&#8217;m very happy especially that my voice, when I need it, like just the other day in the studio, when it comes to a song with these high-pitched vocals, and you wanna hit the tones like you get there very easy; this is what you try to do. And when that works out fine, I drive home every night going, &#8216;Yeah. What a great day.&#8217; I enjoyed myself so much singing a new song, recording a new song, and knowing my voice is there. I mean, we&#8217;re all getting older, but it looks like right now, my voice is still in a very good place, and that makes me feel really good.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But it&#8217;s quite a challenge after all these years,&#8221; he admitted. &#8220;And it comes down to, once you make a decision, and we made the decision to make a new album last year \u2014 early in 2019 \u2014 but if we do it, then you wanna do it right. So in a way, we were lucky that we planned for 2020 to go into the studio. Except for a residency in Las Vegas in July, there were no other shows planned for 2020, because we said, if we wanna make a record, after all these years of touring like crazy all over the world, we have to take some time out and go into the studio and make a new album in 2020. In that way, we were lucky.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I tell you, in these strange times we all go through, it&#8217;s such a privilege when you can work, when you can take a deep dive in your own creativity and come up with hopefully something brilliant,&#8221; <b>Meine<\/b> laughed and added. &#8220;You never know. But it feels really good. And we started last year writing, and we stopped around June last year when we picked up a tour\u2026 We knew this was now the time to write new songs and make a new record and then hopefully go back out on the road again with a new production and with a fresh setlist. So it was a good plan.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a new interview with Melodic, SCORPIONS singer Klaus Meine was asked how he keeps his voice in shape after all these years.
