Chokmah (album)

Chokmah (Hebrew: חכמה for "wisdom", also transliterated as chokma, chokhmah or hokhmah) is a studio album of German pop singer Nena, released in 2001.

[3] The sole single released from the album ("Carpe diem", jointly written by Nena and her partner Philipp Palm[2]) only managed No.

As Nena said at the time of its release,[4] Chokmah did not mark a permanent change in direction but its technopop style has intermittently recurred in her work ever since.

Nena has also periodically collaborated with technopop and reggae artists such as WestBam, the Sam Ragga band, Die Atzen (on the single "Strobo Pop"), and TokTok.

This stands in stark contrast to the fate of virtually all her 1990s output, which has been almost totally absent from both her live concerts and the various reworkings of older material which have been a feature of Nena's work in the 21st century.

Nena; another ("Lass die Leinen los") appeared on Made in Germany Live and most recently "Ich hör mir zu" was the only reworking in the standard edition of her 2012 album Du bist gut.

And when in 2010 Nena finally got to release a compilation album of songs which she, as opposed to her record company, had selected, the Chokmah track "Silbermond" appeared.
