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 ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The opening lines of Outlandish's song "Intro" starts with the singer introducing themselves as Outlandmoro, and from there, they begin to discuss their daily routine. Specifically, Outlandmoro mentions their morning prayer, which they describe as a humble peace to the angels at each of their shoulders. The singer then says they're going to kiss the sky, possibly referring to feeling grateful, alive or free, then says "God is great", which shows their faith and belief in a higher power. The next line, "I'm probably the happiest kid on the block", could be a continuation of that feeling of gratitude, or perhaps indicating that the singer has found some sort of peace or contentment in their life. Finally, the singer ends with "blah blah blah sorry I can't be bothered", possible indicating that they don't feel like talking about themselves anymore or that they're being facetious.
The opening lines of "Intro" give us a glimpse into Outlandish's daily life, particularly their faith and the importance they place on prayer. The singer's reference to the angels at their shoulders suggests that they believe they have guidance and protection from a higher power. The mention of feeling happy and kissing the sky could reflect an overall positive outlook on their life. The final line of the verse, "blah blah blah sorry I can't be bothered", however, could be interpreted in a few different ways- it could be the singer distancing themselves from the earnestness of their earlier lines, or it could be a reference to the dismissive way in which some people might react to someone talking about their religion.
