The queer FLINTA duo taal dropped their third single, “schwerelos,” which is the quintessential soundtrack to kick off the summer. Perfectly timed for Pride Month, this new release celebrates the exhilarating feeling of falling in love again, letting go, and embracing life’s joys.
While their previous singles, “alles/nichts” and “weiße lilien,” delved into heartbreak and emotional healing, “schwerelos” marks a transformative shift: it’s all about lightness over heaviness, looking forward instead of back. The song captures that magical moment when the impossible suddenly feels possible; your heart races with the thrill of trusting again.

Accompanying the track, the music video released simultaneously on June 13 translates this newfound lightness into stunning visual imagery. Set against a backdrop of poolside lounging and convertible cruising, taal crafts a summery ode to living free, vibrant, alive, and bursting with renewed self-confidence.
With “schwerelos,” taal delivers a soundtrack for Pride, pool parties, and everything in between—a track that makes summer louder, more colourful, and just a touch lighter. There’s more to look forward to from taal in 2025: Following the release of their first two singles and a lineup of exciting support shows and festivals (including appearances for Neeve and at the Rock-It Festival), their third single, “schwerelos,” is set to conclude the theme of separation both thematically and musically, showcasing taal’s sound in a bright, optimistic, and multifaceted way. Furthermore, they will perform at multiple Pride events, including the Queer Reception in Düsseldorf’s state parliament.
What makes taal truly special is their ability to create a safe and inclusive space for queer voices through their profound lyrics and diverse musical styles. They invite listeners on a journey through the nuanced aspects of identity, love, and personal experiences. With their music as a form of resistance, healing, and expression, audience members don’t just get entertained; they draw inspiration from it.
I can’t help but feel a little bit in love with this band and everything they represent. “Schwerelos” isn’t just a song; it’s an anthem for the summer, capturing the essence of joy, freedom, and love in its purest form.
