Lila Wolken is a song by the German rapper Marteria in collaboration with Yasha and the singer Miss Platnum . It was released on September 14, 2012 and is included on the EP of the same name . The song was produced by The Krauts and Kid Simius .

Music video

The official music video was first published on tape.tv on August 24, 2012 , and also on YouTube a day later . It shows Marteria, Yasha and Miss Platnum in Berlin , such as on the Gasometer Schöneberg & the prefabricated buildings in Berlin-Marzahn. Among other things, one sees naked people jumping from the tower in an outdoor pool. All of this happens early in the morning. On YouTube, the music video had more than 22 million views by December 2013.

In February 2013, the music video for Purple Clouds was shortlisted in the Best Video (national) category of the Echo Music Prize . However, the video did not make it among the final five nominees. In March 2013, on the occasion of the Echo preselection nomination by Lila Wolken , another music video for a remix by the producer duo Beathoavenz von Lila Wolken was released. In the style of the music video for Cros Hit Easy, this shows the presenter Palina Rojinski lip-synching the text of the song while she walks through the apartment, where a party is ultimately being held. In addition, the rappers MC Fitti , Frauenarzt , Manny Marc and Megaloh as well as the British dancer Nikeata Thompson appear in the music video. By the end of December 2013, this music video had been viewed over 2.4 million times on YouTube.

Kida Khodr Ramadan can be seen in the video as a late night seller .

reception

criticism

A Giga Music writer had a very positive opinion of the song, saying that Purple Clouds would be a song that just extends the summer. The song also shows how perfectly the three voices fit together. Yasha's youthful and Miss Platnum's female voice made the song "come along" smoothly. In addition, the music video is just as carefree. The three other songs on the EP belonging to the song would also by and large scream aloud “Folks, have fun and don't worry so much about your life, because this is basically a big, big party!”.

Lila Wolken rose to number one in the German single charts on September 28, 2012 and stayed there for 1 week.
