The situation also evoked strong feelings in Waldo, which the man decided to unravel into words on paper. The idea of ​​hard-class cooperation came to mind.

– We’ve been talking to Dr. Alban and Basic Element for a long time that it would be great to be able to make music together. Just the right time has not been found.

Now, however, the situation is different. The music stars meet each other at Easter in Stockholm and work on the first piece.

Many remember the Nigerian-born Swedish singer Dr. Alban, who conquered the music charts in the 90s with songs Hello Africa and It’s My Life. Basic Element in turn rode in the same decade The Ride with their hit.

– I am a horizontal horoscope myself, which I think is such a balanced type, so the dudes of Basic Element are the complete opposite of me. If I could get even part of their energy, Waldo describes.

The Eurodance musician describes that he has long dreamed of making music with Dr. Alban.

– We toured with Dr. Alban at the turn of the millennium on an MTV tour around the Nordic countries. At that time we had a fraternal connection.

According to Waldo, the message of the new song can be summarized briefly: one must live in the present moment.

– I learned from my father that you shouldn’t give up. Sometimes life gets in the way, but I still try to find a positive thing in things, Waldo states and refers to his late father, managerlegenda Heikki “Hessu” Reijoseen.
