Söhne Mannheims – Keine Eile (2022)

For over 25 years, German group Söhne Mannheims has been entertaining audiences with their unique blend of hip-hop, rock, soul and pop. Described as a band that stands for diversity and against racism, the musical collective uses insatiable melodies and socially sensitive lyricism to build connections and bridges with listeners. This is my introduction to Söhne Mannheims, but since their formation in 1995 the group has received numerous awards, placed on music charts, toured across the globe, and received coverage from notable publications with airplay on various international radio stations, making them a prominent fixture in the German-pop industry.

Following their two-track EP Mut, Söhne Mannheims releases their intriguing new single ‘Keine Eile’. A melodic arrangement fuses elements of electronic pop with a hip-hop edge showing off their unique, eclectic style. While the melody holds its own with layers of synths, guitars and bass, it is a soulful vocal execution that captures my attention. Known for multi-voiced songs, Söhne Mannheims uses the vocals of various members to serenade listeners in a laid back, smooth and soothing ballad. True, the song itself is not necessarily a ballad, but the harmonic fusion of each voice brings a calming wave throughout the track making listeners sit back and embrace the music.



Translated into English, the term “keine eile” means “no hurry” and this is evident in Söhne Mannheim’s new single. Moving slowly to their own song, the band “are not following the fast-paced world around them…instead, they are making their own rules and living by their own rhythm” In ‘Keine Eile’ there is no following trends or meeting societal expectations , but rather a forging of their own unique sound in the German-pop landscape. Interestingly enough, while this single has Söhne Mannheims “refining the future with multi-voice soul vocals reminiscent of Motown” there appears to be a contemporary pop sound lingering in the festival-worthy single.

Sincere, sentimental and tender, Söhne Mannheims share their chilled-out vibes in their single ‘Keine Eile’.
