Vibekingz ft. Maliq - Like The Wind






Kings are not made but are born. If need be they bear themselves in their idealism, then at least the VIBEKINGz did it - a royal family of exactly the talents, whom it needs, around the local Charts somewhat more soul einzuhauchen. We may call it also Soul… from Germany to call.

Which is designated in the absence of better terms still than “Black Music”, long to a music culture beyond all national writing up developed. The VIBEKINGz is the best example: As activists from the most diverse countries and cities they bridge both local and stylistic borders, in order to work together just in Germany on something larger one. And because genuine Dedication is always recompenced, its first publication “Like The wind” developed also promptly to the summer hit.

In the original a Schlüsselsong for Patrick Swayze in “Dirty Dancing”, the VIBEKINGz DJ Size (Berlin) and DJ transformed S.T.A.T.I.C. (Hamburg) the existenzialistische Schmonzette into an extremely airily fitting with springs piece of Urban Soul. Majority of the charm of this radical new interpretation is to be due naturally also to the concise voice of Maliq. Citizen of Berlin the exception talent is not a blank sheet, it works already since a half eternity with colleagues such as Illmatic, a J-luffing and Culcha candela and/or with producers such as Peter Ries (N `Sync), Beathoavenz (Sido) and Silly Walks (Gentleman) - with its live-appearances, e.g. in the legend club or on the party of Jette Joop, he inspired the public in lively regularity, whereby he as sensitive Performer particularly with his source of inspiration #1, which “Ladies” a lasting impression left… Although its TRACK became „Nasty “already in New Yorker clubs and in the radio “high and runtergedudelt”, the success of “Like The wind is” also for Maliq primarily the long due commercial acknowledgment of a lived passion.

With its debut album the VIBEKINGz & Maliq place impressively under proof that “Like The wind” was only a comparatively laues Lüftchen, the gentle harbinger of a much stronger lift. And that becomes it with its TRACKs, all the same whether self-'s building or Coverversion carries, far beyond our widths into the most remote angles. Producer DJ S.T.A.T.I.C brings the requirement and the range of its common album on a denominator, if he speaks by right of a music, which can be heard problem-free “on the whole world”. In this world without borders find maintained Hip Hop, RnB and Dancehall likewise their place like gentle Balladen and Nu Soul.

The VIBEKINGz does not only consist momentarily in the core of humans to do those directly with the music has - singers, RWSby, Deejays, producer, dancer - nevertheless understands itself it as a production collective. They promise: “One does not need to be DJ or a singer, in order to be with us. If you feel which we feel, then also you are a VIBEKING. The more VIBEKINGz exist, the more contacts, friendships, ingenious ideas and synergies it in the future will give.”

And that it will also actually give, but the quality this album will certainly ensure. The prospects could be hardly better thus. The VIBEKINGz expects a golden future… and also Maliq, which will publish its solo debut in the next year.
