COSMO Machiavelli verbindet Rap & Politik. Im Machiavelli-Podcast sprechen die Musikjournalist*innen Salwa Houmsi und Jan Kawelke gemeinsam mit dem Politikjournalisten Vassili Golod jede Woche über gesellschaftspolitische Themen, die aus Rap & Politik-Sicht beleuchtet werden.
Sie diskutieren mit Gregor Gysi und Maxim K.I.Z über Gerechtigkeit, mit Olaf Scholz und Felix Lobrecht über Geld, oder mit Aminata Touré und Megaloh über Alltagsrassismus. Sie klären, warum Kanye West mit Donald Trump flirtet und was Shirin David gegen Sexismus im Deutschrap tut. Sie reisen nach London & Paris, um unsere Nachbar*innen zu verstehen - musikalisch und politisch.
Dabei geht es immer um Menschen mit einer Stimme, um Menschen mit Macht - egal, ob sie Klunkerketten oder Krawatten tragen.

The amount of beauty that is in this video and produced out of this video is indescribable

[@Selleselicious]

I already loved her original song and thought: "How can get this any better?"
Well there we are! Awesome.
Gänsehaut! that's what germans would say

I still remember when the song came out. I've heard it since the first day. I love you Jorja

[@annabelskaya6121]

This is masterpiece, the orchestra is amazing and made the song sound even more meaningful, deep and emotional. Feels like grieving, this song. Very impressed!

[@gordonhamilton7160]

Thanks for your beautiful comment :)

[@helsa3026]

This is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard

[@florence2430]

What a performance! Must be really difficult to stay focused when you have an orchestra as background and not a beat. Really really amazing collaboration.

[@kristineamadhila3394]

I’m lost for words. Literal masterpiece.

[@florianboos9608]

Amazing timing and sound, both orchestra and singer! Glad to have a German orchestra perform this kind of music in such a modern, fresh arrangement as they imo really often don't exploit their potential.

[@nishi1209]

ach krass ich dachte erst wieso reupload von dem Keemo feature und dann kommt eiskalt das hier mega gut geworden!

[@zechssiguro7476]

What he said!
I completely agree?

[@riankagill]

i rlly didn't think this song could be any sadder but this video just proved me wrong

[@fouyer]

It was already one of my favourites songs, now I love it even more. The powerful meaning of the lyrics fits so well in this "epic" instrumental and her beautiful voice. Please Jorja Smith, don't you ever stop making these great songs. I'm just ten days older than you and I can definately say you're the voice of our generation. Love from Brazil

[@YungstarProd]

One word: Perfection.
What a beautifully sad song. One of my favorites.
