In 2002 Clueso moves back to Erfurt and records the Rowdy-Club-Tape 2002. Another year later he starts producing his second album "Gute Musik" (featuring Blumentopf, Steer M, Tilmann Jarmer, Delhia, Tim Neuhaus and Jürgen Kerth), which was be finished by 2004. It does not contain any English tracks and concentrates on singing rather than rapping. In 2005 Clueso represented Thuringia with the song "Kein Bock zu geh'n" at the Bundesvision Song Contest. The same year he was partner of Start Ab, the 'biggest non-commercial remix contest in Europe'.

In 2006 Clueso released his third album called "Weit Weg" which means "far away". Again the album was relased by Four Music. The album is changing mood and style contiuously. It varies between influences of chilled pop, soul, funk and reggae.
Over the last two years Clueso toured with his band. They played over 120 club and festival gigs with a total crowd of 300,000.
On the album Clueso joined forces with the likes of Max Herre (former lead singer of Freundeskreis), Flowin'Immo, New Telephatics and Razkajam.
Ralf C. Mayer who also had produced "Gute Musik", the forerunner of the current album, and artists like Xavier Naidoo and Die Fantastischen Vier helped Clueso to find his sound, from sounds of whisper to grolling bitter thunder.
Clueso is truly one of the future stars in Germany as he is focused, talented and lucky enough to find a channel for his passion.

Kaffee
Clueso Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Und Schaumstoff aus meinem Kissen puhl
Seh ich deinen blöden Lippenstift
Er liegt auch immer rechts neben m' Stuhl
Das Knäckebrot löst sich im Kaffee wie Aspirin
Die Kippe qualmt schon lang allein
Will nicht mehr ziehn
Der Kaffee war zu süß, No no
Yeah, die Luft schmeckt bitter
Der Kaffee war zu süß, oh!
Oh, die Luft schmeckt bitter
Der Kaffee war zu süß
No, No, No, No...
Yeah die Luft schmeckt bitter...
Ich bade in Verlegenheit
Und grab' mich in mein' Schmerz
Wieso lässt du alles hier?
Und nimmst mir nur mein Herz?
Mein Bett riecht immer noch nach dir
Das kotzt mich an...
Deine scheiß Bürste liegt nach wie vor Bad
Und es sind Haare dran
Ooh, die Luft schmeckt bitter
Der Kaffee war zu süß, No no
Yeah, die Luft schmeckt bitter
Der Kaffee war zu süß, oh!
Oh, die Luft schmeckt bitter
Der Kaffee war zu süß so süß wie du...
No no no... No no no no...
Dö dö dö dö dö dö dö...
Ich bin so traurig...
Oh no no no no no
Trallallallalla ich bin so traurig so Abgrund traurig...
Oooh, No no no...
*Gurgel*
In Clueso's song "Kaffee," the singer sits on his couch and pulls foam out of his pillow while he glimpses at a lipstick stain that's always next to his chair. He watches as his crackers dissolve in his coffee, like aspirin. He's smoking a cigarette that's been long since extinguished. He doesn't want to smoke anymore. The air tastes bitter, and the coffee was too sweet. The singer is embarrassed and buries himself in his pain wondering why his love interest left everything behind except for his heart. The singer's bed still smells like his lover, and it's irritating him. The lover's brush is still in the bathroom, and it has hair in it.
The lyrics illustrate the agony and frustration of a relationship that has ended. The singer is trying to make sense of the leftover items from his relationship that haunt him daily. These daily reminders are pulling him down and causing him to feel lower than he already does. By painting a picture of leftover lipstick stains, hair-filled hairbrushes, and a bed that still smells like his former lover, the singer is unable to move on and is feeling unhappy and disillusioned. The bitter coffee and sweet air add to his misery.
