You’ll no doubt have heard it on TikTok videos – the refrain, “Passion ah ahh”! Well it’s the latest hit from German duo, Milky Chance, a musical phenomenon who’ve been wowing their massive global audience since 2013.
Their debut single, ‘Stolen Chance’ has since gone on to join the exclusive 1 Billion Streams club on Spotify and YouTube, an honour held by fewer than a thousand tracks. Milky Chance have had more than 8 billion career streams across their entire discography, and can boast 16 million monthly listeners on Spotify alone across their 4 album releases, with their audience captivate by their inventive style which weaves together a range of genres.
Comprising Clemens Rehbein, and Philipp Dausch, Milky Chance are childhood friends from Kassel, Germany, and this summer they’ll be bringing their live show back to their hometown, accompanied by a full symphony orchestra.
‘Passion’ is already steaming up the summer, dominating the airwaves, and the already mentioned TikTok, where it’s racing up their viral charts, as well as having spins on the likes of SiriusXM’s Alt Nation. The track has an untamably confident bassline that kicks in with no intention of ever letting up, and then it adds funky guitar licks to the tale of anticipation, yearning, and craving.
With Rehbein’s signature vocals rasping with unbridled flirtatiousness, ‘Passion’ fully captures the spontaneity of summer, and is the indie pop anthem we didn’t know we needed but now can’t live without.
The music video for ‘Passion’ sees Rehbein and Dausch indulging in a fantasy land, where every object is symbolic of their desires. Larger than life details, such as succulent pieces of fruit, delicious burgers, lusciously juicy watermelons, are works of art in their own right. It’s trippy, it’s delectable, and it perfectly balances between campy and racy.
