Milky Chance Don ’70s Sports Fits in New “Naked And Alive” Music Video
Today, Milky Chance — the duo of Clemens Rehbein and Phillipp Dausch who’ve gone from childhood friends to a globe-conquering alt-pop group charting a bold new path for independent artists — loosen up for the Olympics in the new video for their millions-streaming new single “Naked And Alive.”
Rocking ’70s athletic fits that would make Björn Borg proud, it’s a cheeky embodiment of the band’s stoned sense of humor. Watch the video for “Naked And Alive” here.
With 8 billion career streams and nearly 16 million monthly listeners on Spotify (enough to put them as one of the platform’s Top 500 most-streamed artists in the world) over four album releases, Milky Chance are a truly global phenomenon. Their breakthrough hit “Stolen Dance” is in the exclusive 1 billion stream club on Spotify and they’ve played Coachella, Lollapalooza, and top venues worldwide. They’ve had some legit US radio hits, including 5 Top 20 Alternative Hits (including a #1 for “Stolen Dance), 4 Triple A Top 10s (including #1’s for “Stolen Dance” and 2020’s “Don’t Let Me Down (featuring Jack Johnson)” and #2 for 2022’s “Colorado”).
With their 2023 independent debut Living In A Haze (released on their own Muggelig Records), Milky Chance marked a fresh chapter in their career with “a triumphant return” (Earmilk) packed with defiantly unclassifiable music “as timeless as it is innovative” (Wonderland). Featuring guest appearances from Malian artist Fatoumata Diawara and Canadian singer Charlotte Cardin, Living In A Haze is “a record that is both their most earthy, most ready for long indulgent al fresco afternoons, all while being their most electronically switched on. It’s entertaining, emotive, and a credit to their enduring appeal” (Line Of Best Fit). The album has racked up over 600 million streams on the back of global hits like “Colorado,” “Synchronize,” and “Living In A Haze.”
Milky Chance just wrapped a South American headlining tour and an electric Bonnaroo performance. Full upcoming tour schedule here.
