Ace Tee [@tarinwilda] is Germany’s closest thing to TLC with “Bist Du Down?”

Prepare to listen to the best thing you have heard all day

Don’t know German. No problem! You’ll still love this. Rising German artist and producer Ace Tee decided to reveal this greatness to us in the Christmas period and unfortunately has only just reached my ears. It has already even been dubbed as ‘the new TLC’ by twitter user @hernameisrachu. Giving this a listen myself it’s not hard to understand why. The nostalgic 90’s feel, a dope beat and a rap feature from German rapper ‘Kwam.e’ I’m very sure you will love this as much as the world is right now.
Not knowing German myself, I came in listening to this song very unprepared and not ready for what I was about to experience. As soon as it started though I was excited for what I was about to listen to, with the flow and sound of her voice mixing in with the softness of the instrumental it was a very smooth 90s R&B take on a very modern beat and surprisingly it worked very well!
I guess the reason why the U.K and the U.S like it so much is the reason I do too, it’s the sense that we don’t have to try to understand what she is singing about or what the feature is rapping about but rather the mood that the song is bringing. Just as a precautionary for those out there who would still like to know what the message of the song is, not too long ago she took to Instagram to say ‘the song is about being down for honesty, love the new sound and vibe.’
Overall I think this song is great for people like me and you who just want to be able to sit back and not have to worry. As for the Germans out there, you guys are on something different, please keep it going!
