The songs that caught my ear was <strong><em>\u201cWolke 7\u201d<\/em><\/strong> (Cloud 9) by Max Herre and Philipp Poisel.<\/p>\n<p>You might be a little bit confused by my translation: <strong><em>Wolke 7 = Cloud 9<\/em><\/strong>. In fact, while speakers of English are on cloud 9 \u2013 when they are, for example, in love, Germans are usually on Wolke 7 (lit. cloud 7). But please do not mix that up with the expression: <strong><em>in seventh heaven = im siebten Himmel<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Max Herre and Philipp Poisel are one of the few German musicians who make German-speaking music. Rapper Max Herre was the leader of the hip hop band <strong><em>Freundeskreis<\/em><\/strong>, who were very successful with their singles \u201cAnna\u201d and \u201cHalt dich an deiner Liebe fest\u201d (Hold on to your love) in the 1990s. In 2004, Max started his solo career.<\/p>\n<p>Philipp Poisel had his breakthrough between 2006 and 2008, when Herbert Gr\u00f6nemeyer took notice of him and signed him on at Gr\u00f6nland records. Meanwhile, he has released his third studio album. The song <strong><em>Wolke 7<\/em><\/strong> is a single from Max Herre\u2019s album <strong><em>Hallo Welt!<\/em><\/strong> (Hello World!) which has been released August 2012.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MAX HERRE FEAT.
