"We always have 2" with Olexesh – That's what Vanessa Mai's Schlager-Rap looks like – music

Here is his first hit song

The singer Vanessa Mai (26) releases the single "Wir 2 ​​immer 1" from her new album "Schlager", which will be released on August 3rd.

The song is more than unusual! It's a duet with the German rapper Olexesh (30 years old, "magical").

Little reminiscent of clbadic hits, typical rap influences dominate. The video also takes place in the style of the rapper. Confusing? From Vanessa, the mix of style was full of intent.

Vanessa Mai at BILD: "It's exactly what I wanted to achieve! Away with the thinking drawer! J & # The question: "Does it strike again?", I am asked often, and I answer with a counter-question: what is typical today? Nobody can really answer that. "

Vanessa Mai found a musical accomplice, the rapper Olexesh. The singer: "He has the same opinion as me in terms of music.Olexesh, like me, is completely free from any kind of thought.This has impressed me."

Olexesh is one of the Germany's most successful and idiosyncratic rappers. His album "Rolexesh" and his single "Magisch" went up in the charts from 0 to 1.

The singer's enthusiasm: "We had a close relationship with each other." Olexesh is super polite, super I was very surprised when we were in the studio, how creative and fast it was, there was immediate sympathy, we just found ourselves. "

How was this unusual collaboration born?

More than a month ago, Olexesh sent an Instagram clip to Vanessa: "What's up, Vanessa Mai?" You seem to be a really good woman, what do you think when we make a song together? awesome anyway, no? People would not wait and I would feel like that. If you are upset, be sure to call me! "

Vanessa replied," Hey Olexesh, my Mailbox explodes because everyone is sending me your video and I think the idea is just, really blatantly my album just and wants to clean up anyway with this crappy drawer thinking. That's why, to be honest, who should ban us? I'm on it. Just come to the studio and we'll see what works. I think it'll be magic. "

The video was shot on a Abandoned factory in Metzingen near Stuttgart

Vanessa Mai: "It was amazing! We started at 11 in the morning and at 4 o'clock the next day we were finished. But it looks worse than that, the time has pbaded quickly. The shoot was very entertaining, especially the work with Olexesh went super of the hand. Of course, it was exhausting, no question. But: it was worth it! "

Lately, Vanessa Mai has been showing off her bady outfits again and again with the logo "Schlager ", so in the video. Does she wear that so that she is even recognized as a pop singer?

Vanessa explains with a laugh: "It's more of a game. A lot of fans think, Woa, it's full of hits, cool," another fan, on the other hand, think, Huh, why does she have the word hit on her clothes, it has nothing to do with Schlager. "
