Mastered Version - what does that mean?
Our sound engineers do the best job on earth to work on the sound of our live shows to make it even more "fresh", "brilliant", "differentiated" - whatever you may call it. We invite you to watch and listen to this mastered version (with all the details of the arrangements standing out more).
If you wish, you can find the livestream version to compare here:

We would love to hear your comments! Do you hear the difference? What do you like most?

We are welcoming a newcomer from Frankfurt onto the stage with us – and what a newcomer she is! NI-KA released her debut album in 2024, appeared on Stefan Raab's preliminary show for the Eurovision Song Contest, and featured on Moses Pelham's farewell album. Her warm, powerful voice is truly inspiring. NI-KA's music, German-language Neo Soul with influences from Hip-Hop and Jazz, is expressive and groovy, her lyrics honest yet poetic.
German:
Wir holen eine Frankfurter Newcomerin zu uns auf die Bühne – und was für eine! NI-KA hat 2024 ihr Debütalbum veröffentlicht, war bei Stefan Raab im Vorentscheid für den ESC und war mit Moses Pelham auf dessen Abschiedsalbum zu hören. Ihre warme, kraftvolle Stimme begeistert. NI-KAs Musik, deutschsprachiger Neo Soul mit Einflüssen von Hip-Hop und Jazz, ist gefühlvoll und groovy, ihre Texte ehrlich und trotzdem poetisch.
