RAMMSTEIN frontman Till Lindemann has released a new solo single, sung entirely in Russian. Любимый город aka ‘favourite city’ is a moody, piano-led ballad/torch song, bearing scant resemblance to anything the Berliner has previously recorded with RAMMSTEIN or his now defunct side project, LINDEMANN.

Composed by Nikita Bogoslovsky, with lyrics by Evgenij Dolmatovskij, it’s not at all clear whether Любимый город is a one-off collaboration for LINDEMANN, or the first taste of a full-length solo album for the German vocalist.
