After three years of silence, Hamburg band Rakede shocked fans with the announcement of their official breakup. But for frontman Julian Schmit, this was just the beginning of a new chapter in his music career. Instead of starting off with a bang, Schmit began his solo journey with the release of the emotionally charged single "Niemand," which delves into the themes of self-doubt and the aftermath
Schmit's songwriting skills are on full display in "Niemand," showcasing his ability to craft lyrics that are both relatable and profound. His vocals, which seamlessly switch between rap and singing, add a unique layer of intimacy and emotion to the track.
But Schmit isn't just a solo artist, as evidenced by his collaborations with video producer Valentin Hansen, Bazzazian and Megaloh and Majan on the joint song "Monoton." These collaborations demonstrate Schmit's ability to work well with others, and they hint at the exciting possibilities of his future music.
As a whole, "Niemand" and the other tracks of Julian Schmit are a great showcase of his talents as a songwriter and vocalist, showing off the feeling for language and the playful use of vocals. Fans of Rakede may be disappointed, but Julian Schmit's solo career is definitely worth watching and we can look forward to what he comes up with next.

There’s a certain quiet force in music that doesn’t need spectacle to make an impact. Some artists just feel true—not because of how loudly they declare themselves, but because their work echoes long after it ends. That’s what drew me to Aaronn.
