In 2010 Schütz started writing songs for a fourth album and announced it would be released under the pseudonym "Peacebird", and released two charity singles during the spring of 2011, "Peace! (Give the People the Power Back)" supporting the demonstrations for democracy in Northern Africa, and "Hold On Now" following the 11 March, Japan earthquake and tsunami. A full-length album, "Peacebird", was released on 5 October 2011, and was more contemporary as Schütz had been experimenting with drum loops to further develop his influences from Brazilian and Cuban music. "Slow Down", the first song on the album, was the most played song by a foreign artist on Japanese radio during October 2011.
