‘It is about to not simply accept things or the given circumstances. You do not need to stay where you were born. You do not need to become friends with your school mates simply because you sit next to them. ‘Go’ is about the freedom of choice in your own life. Encounters and relationships are not obligations at the same time. They can be a mutual path you go, but at the same time they can part legitimately.’ that’s how Stefan, new singer of THE TiPS explains the plot of Go. It’s about letting go – people and things – to accept that other things develop from letting go – not necessarily bad things.
Of course, you can either give up when things get complicated, you can simply let it be when it gets tiresome. Isolate and await what’s happening when change sets in.
Or, you can do the exact contrary and when it looks like all things seem to fall apart and crumble into pieces, when the bizarre grimace of change almost already stares at you, you can tighten up, get your things together, get energized accept change and go through with it.
And that’s exactly what the rock-reggae three-piece from Dusseldorf, Germany did!
THE TiPS open up a new chapter in their career: after parting ways with singer Ali due to personal reasons and health issues, the TiPS’ vision was still as clear as before and giving up was not an option for anyone. Sometimes the world is simply very small and so, after a short while they crossed way with their old friend Stefan, who was instantly, mutually accepted as the desired solution to becoming the new voice of the three reggae-punks.
Go marks the first release since the line-up change and the first single to be released from the upcoming EP Come Closer, which will hit the streets on Feb, 2nd.
