Matthias Reim > M

Matthias Reim composes, writes lyrics, mixes and plays songs himself. The music to some songs comes from the German composer and music producer Christoph Brüx (Hamburg), for example Das erste Mal (The first time). He composed for many other performers such as Bernhard Brink, Roberto Blanco, Jürgen Drews and Tina York. His first own LPs with his bands Fallen Dice and Fair Tax did not bring commercial success. Reim's first - and largest - hit came ... out in 1990 – called "Verdammt, Ich lieb' dich" ("Damn, I love you"). The single sold 2.5 million copies world-wide and was at the top of the pops of German charts for 16 weeks - between 18 May and 6 September - since 1971 no other single stood longer without interruption at place one but Matthias Reim shares this record with Boney M. The first album Reim was released soon after. Until 1999, he published nine further albums with Polydor. His LP Zauberland was also released in an English-language version in Canada – there called Wonderland. See more [+]
