Their R&B/Hip-hop/Rap/soul music takes influences from their various backgrounds (Arab, Pakistani, and Latin music), and although their songs are primarily in English, they usually feature lyrics in Spanish, Urdu, Arabic, and Danish. All these influences make the music of Outlandish somewhat unique and this is easy to notice from the variety of genres covered in their albums. Outlandish often include themes about Islam and contemporary issues facing young Muslims in the west in their music, and sometimes their songs define a nasheed-like unique genre.
So far they have produced four albums: Outland's Official (2000), Bread & Barrels of Water (2003), Beats, Rhymes & Life (2004) and Closer Than Veins (2005).
Last November 2006 Outlandish won the MTV EMAs as a best danish act of the year, the same month as the creation of their new fan-site Elmoro4Life.com

Outlandish Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
But if u don
't walk as u talk, ur aiming for a fall
It's a hard pill to swallow, yes we know it's true
But if u wanna be respected, u gotta follow thru
These lyrics from Outlandish's song Amen talk about the importance of action and follow-through. The first line, "Eyes on the trophy, aim all u want kid," sets the tone for the rest of the verse. It's important to have goals and dreams, to aim high and work towards achieving them. However, the second line, "But if u don't walk as u talk, ur aiming for a fall," warns the listener that simply talking about their aspirations is not enough. They must also take action and work hard to achieve them. The song acknowledges that this can be difficult, as the line "It's a hard pill to swallow, yes we know it's true" suggests. But ultimately, the message is clear: if you want to be respected and successful, you must follow through on your goals and dreams.
Overall, the lyrics of Amen encourage listeners to take action and pursue their dreams in order to achieve success and respect. They acknowledge the challenges that come with this, but ultimately promote the importance of staying committed and working hard.
