Manuel K Drops New Rocking Single, "The Wave"

On December 07, 2023, Manuel K will release his eighth single „The Wave“ worldwide. Manuel K on “The Wave”: "This song is brand new. I wrote the lyrics during this year’s summer vacation in Italy and started recording the first demos soon after. During August/September, I recorded all instruments and vocals in my home studio in Switzerland except drums. On drums you can hear the incredibly talented Gina "G" Osmar (USA). The track was mixed and mastered in Canada by mixing mastermind Delwyn Brooks and mastering pro Greg Reely. This song is angrier, louder and more rocking than all my previous ones. But it’s very catchy and memorable."

The new single “The Way of Life” out now

On May 31, 2020, Manuel K released his sixth single “The Way of Life.”

Manuel K on “The Way of Life”: “Along with rock music I also love country music very much. Therefore – for this new release – I was looking for a song with elements of country and folk as well. While I was browsing through my songbook, I remembered a song called ‘The Way of Life.’ I wrote the first draft years ago when I was 18-years-old. Back then, it was a simple folk-rock song that has never been released so far. This song was exactly what I wanted. I rearranged and completed the song in April 2020. I recorded vocals, backing vocals, rock organ and my guitar parts in my beloved home studio. And as I mentioned, I wanted more country in it – I call it the “Nashville sound”. For that reason, I worked with three of the best Nashville session players: Lonnie Wilson on drums and percussion, Mike Brignardello on bass, and Brent Mason on electric lead guitar. With two of them, I had already worked on my fourth single ‘Follow You’. The new single ‘The Way of Life’ was mixed by Joe Carrell and mastered by Adam Ayan. Both also absolute professionals.”
