Ulrich Jannert’s 'Wander Still' feels like finding a handwritten map tucked inside your own pocket, one you didn’t know you were carrying, but somehow recognise immediately. Spanning eighteen tracks and threaded through with warmth, clarity, and emotional candour, the album invites us into a world where self-discovery is slow, deliberate, and meaningful.


Jannert has spent years quietly shaping his musical identity, and you can hear that history in every corner of 'Wander Still'. Rooted in a blend of soft soul, folk-leaning rock, and country-tinged groove, the record moves with a gentleness that never veers into complacency. Instead, these songs glow with melodies that lift without overwhelming, rhythms that push without rushing, and lyrics that look you directly in the eye.


What stands out immediately is the emotional through-line; a story arc about change, doubt, and the bravery it takes to step into a version of yourself you’ve only imagined. He writes like someone who’s asked himself the hard questions in the quiet hours and is now offering the answers back in melody.


Across the record, Jannert leans into transformation imagery as a lived experience. His writing feels shaped by long walks, unanswered questions, and the deep exhale that comes when you finally stop trying to fit into other people’s contours. These are songs built for crossroad moments, and the days when you’re not sure whether to stay, go, or reinvent the entire map.


By the time the album closes, you’re tracing the outline of your own journey. 'Wander Still' reminds us that change doesn’t have to be loud to be profound, that courage can be quiet, and that becoming yourself is the most intricate adventure you’ll ever take.


In a world obsessed with speed, Ulrich Jannert has made a record that embraces motion of the inward kind. And it leaves you with a simple, potent truth that you don’t have to race to evolve. You just have to keep wandering.
