October 1998: Flugzeuge im Bauch      Lyrics

The first single to come off the album "Mein Tag" was released to astounding success. The single went to number one in Germany, paving the way for Oli to continue further with his career. The single was heavily promoted during "Gute Zeiten Schlechte Zeiten'" ad breaks. The vocal 'Gib mir mein Herz zurück' became the recognised bit of the song, along with the gorgeous video which featured singer Tina Frank, and oli without his top on! A surefire winner!!
 
 
 
 

January 1999: I Wish                                  Lyrics

I wish was the second single spawned from "Mein Tag", and although it wasn't quite as successful as "Flugzeuge...", something came up to mar promotion plans- The birth of Ilias on Valentines day. Still, oli recieved a golden Otto for his efforts at the BRAVO awards. The video featured objects warping behind glass to show Oli's wishes. Again, Tina was on the vocal.
 
 
 
 
 
 

April 1999: Der 7. Sinn                       Lyrics

For Oli's 3rd single he got rid of Tina and just rapped the whole thing instead. The catchy, big brass tune of 7te Sinn revealed the lighter side of oli, claiming that his 7th sense was better when he was single.... and that he wanted a girl to be single with. (riiiiiiight, we understand). For the video Oli turned Broadway and tapdanced and backflipped around the screen in white coat and tails. Good to know that those dance lessons as a kid went to good use then!
 
 
 
 

October 1999: So Bist Du                    Lyrics

For the first single off the new album "O Ton", Oli took the Peter Maffay song "So Bist Du" and made it his own. The combination obviously worked, as the single rocketed to number one.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

January 2000: Niemals Mehr          Lyrics

Niemals mehr was the first single to be released after Oli left GZSZ. Without oli being on TV every day of the week, could it survive? The answer was yes, although it did not go to number one. The video, shot in Majorca (an excuse to be with Tati while she was filming for the TV series 'Mallorca', which he appeared on in a singing role) seemed to have absolutely no connection with the song whatsoever, but you can't have it all, can you?
 
 
 
 
 

April 2000: Plötzlich Stand sie Da                Lyrics

Along with frankly scary new look, Oli released "Plötzlich". After gaining yet another Otto and an Echo, the last single off O Ton was the unpredicted one, rather out of place. Between filming for a new TV series, and the prospects of beginning work on his movie 'Girl" (due in cinemas Jan 2001)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Albums

1998: Mein Tag

The first album "Mein Tag" was released off the back of the success from "Flugzeuge" and contained a mix of sweet relaxing grooves and loud in your face tunes. The chant "Oli P is good for me" became an Oli anthem easily, with it's repetitive chant and chatty rapping. Chilled out grooves like the title track "Mein Tag" and "Dich Dich Bleiben Lassen" make for sunday afternoons while simply fun songs like "Gottlieb" and "Der 7. sinn" bring out the smiles.
 
 
 
 

Tracklisting:

November 1999: O Ton

O Ton was released after the much aclaimed single "So Bist Du" landed at number 1. The songs range from the sweet So Bist Du to the moody "I'm Finding You" and "Schick Mir'n Engel", to the tear jerker "Niemals Mehr". There were 3 singles released from this album: "So Bist Du", "Niemals Mehr", and the unexpected "Plötzlich Stand Sie Da".
