Max Giesinger and Michael Schulte have published a joint duet, which they are presenting for the first time in a special place.
Max Giesinger (34) and Michael Schulte (32) have been an integral part of the German music scene for years. Now the two singers have teamed up and released the duet “More To This Life”. The two share a long-standing friendship that arose from participating in a TV show together.
In 2011, both took part in the first season of the music show “The Voice of Germany”. Giesinger took fourth place, Schulte was third. The finalists then founded a men’s shared apartment, which was to last for many years, first in Mannheim and later in the middle of Hamburg’s Kiez.
The joint song is about “that in the process of getting older or growing up, you somehow start taking everything far too seriously, that you only think about tomorrow, develop fears and actually lose all the qualities that being a child is so make out,” explains Max Giesinger about the single. “More To This Life” actually represents exactly the style “that we’ve always had when we made music together,” adds Michael Schulte. “It was always a bit more acoustic, mostly just two guitars and two voices. That’s what we wanted to capture.”
The video for the song celebrates this Friday at 7 p.m premiere. In addition, a joint live appearance on TV awaits the two singers on Friday, for which they return to their beginnings.
Joint appearance on “The Voice of Germany”
They will appear in the semi-finals of the current “The Voice of Germany” season. “It’s pretty nice that Max and I can now sing our first single together where it all started,” says Michael Schulte happily. “We met in the very first season of ‘The Voice of Germany’ and have since gone through thick and thin together, both musically and as friends, over the past ten years.”
“TVOG” was an “amazing experience for her, but also a turbulent time that brutally welded us together,” Max Giesinger looks back. “It was a healthy and almost fraternal competition that pushed us both because we wanted to outdo each other. We probably wouldn’t be where we are if we hadn’t met each other.”
The semifinals of “The Voice of Germany” can be seen live on Sat.1 and Joyn on Friday, October 28 at 8:15 p.m.
