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.

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.

Clueso Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is the V.I.P.
Ist es VIP, VIP?
Bist du high, high?
Komme nicht mit, immer, immer bye-bye
Party kaum betreten aber immer Hype, Hype
Irgendwo im Nebenzimmer kriegst du dein' Vibe
Weiße Villa, weißer Stein, schwarzes Wasser (ah)
Weißer Mond, bunter Pool, weißes Laster
Flüssiger Kristall, alles Regenbogen
Typ-Typen werden shad-shady, Frauen werden blasser
Marmorboden, Seidenteppich, Marrakesh
Hausbesitzer, Sonnenbrille, Laber-Flash
Rote Augen sagen, ich muss weg hier
Ich, ich muss weg hier
Ist es VIP, VIP?
Bist du high, high?
Komme nicht mit, immer, immer bye-bye
Party kaum betreten aber immer Hype, Hype
Irgendwo im Nebenzimmer kriegst du dein' Vibe
Aber immer VIP, VIP
(Ja, immer VIP)
(Ja, immer VIP)
Silbernes Tablett, Silberstreifen wabern auf dem Meer
Goldenes Korsett, Lächeln und sie fragt mich, will ich mehr?
Jemand reitet auf 'ner Welle durch das Zimmer rum (ah)
Unsichtbare Angestellte stehen im Hintergrund (ah)
Zu viel Tequila, viel, viel zu viel Tequila
Trockener Boden, ich falle in die Savina
Ich komme wieder, warte, ich komme wieder
Ich muss dich finden, verschwinden
Die Stimmung sinkt rapide
Du willst nicht gehen
Kein Ende, kein „Nein“
Es ist niemals vorbei
Ist es nicht VIP
Gibt es kein' Hype
Spielst du nicht mit
Heißt es bye-bye
Kippt irgendwann die Stimmung, ist die Party vorbei
Irgendwo im Nebenzimmer
Killt es deinen Vibe
Aber ist es VIP, VIP?
Bist du high, high?
Komme nicht mit, immer, immer bye-bye
Party kaum betreten aber immer Hype, Hype
Irgendwo im Nebenzimmer kriegst du dein' Vibe
Aber immer VIP, VIP
(Ja, immer VIP)
(Ja, immer VIP)
Ja, immer VIP
Ja, immer VIP
(The only VIP)
(The only VIP)
The lyrics of Clueso's song "VIP" depict the allure and glamour of the VIP lifestyle while also highlighting its transient nature. The song speaks to the experience of being in the VIP section of a party or event, where everything is luxurious, extravagant, and exclusive. The artist questions whether it's really worth it, if one has to be high on drugs to enjoy it and if it's a sustainable lifestyle. The lyrics describe a VIP party with a white villa, a black pool, and a colorful atmosphere. The singer of the song feels disconnected from the party and the people, expressing the desire to escape. The lyrics also touch upon the excessive consumption of alcohol and its consequences.
The chorus emphasizes the popularity and prominence that comes with being a VIP, but it also questions the true value and satisfaction that it brings. The song suggests that the VIP lifestyle might be alluring and exciting at first, but it eventually loses its appeal and becomes superficial. It raises the idea that true fulfillment and happiness cannot be found within the VIP lifestyle, and that one should look for something more meaningful.
Overall, "VIP" is a critique of the VIP culture and the shallow nature of chasing popularity and trendiness. It encourages listeners to seek genuine connections and experiences rather than getting caught up in the superficial world of VIP parties.
