Thank you for being a loyal part of my fan club. Here is an exclusive sneak preview for my new music video, which will be released in the next few weeks.
The song is “WE GOT LOVE” from my PLAY album. The original version is by Babyface and this is my take on it.

A 19 year legacy of radio hits that began with making contemporary jazz history with his first #1 “Pacific Coast Highway,” which was Billboard’s Song of the Decade 2001-2010. Followed up by the song of the year 2011. Jump start, which stayed an amazing 11 weeks on #1 on the charts. Nils started doing sessions as a rhythm guitarist for everyone from Rick Braun to The Temptations. In 1998 he wrote the song “Keep Rollin’ ” for George Benson on his Standing Together CD. The legend returned the favor and recorded a duet with Nils his Debut CD Blue Planet. His breakthrough came with the extraordinary success of “Pacific Coast Highway.” Nils kept the momentum going and recorded 13 solo albums to date. His constant presence on Smooth Jazz Radio led to his nomination for “Best Guitarist” at the American Smooth Jazz Awards. ils accumulated more than 20 Billboard hits in the top 10 of the charts for himself as well as for other artists as a writer and producer,
The “Family Cook out” version! Thanks a mil Nil !
:o)
♥️‘d the new video – everyone looks to be having fun and the song is a fun interpretation (red bouncing ball over lyrics). The colors are vibrant, but as for the dark red on this webpage, it’s an eye killer. Almost impossible to read on a smartphone. I love Nils’ work and this is another to add to the list. It’s as if every song he plays never fails to satisfy my musical thirst. Cheers!!!
So glad you like it
As usual you’re a musical genius, but the next time don’t color the box so your fans can see what they are typing. I love the song.
Thanks for pointing that out. I changed it

I wasn’t able to watch this video, it reads;
Video is not properly encoded,
Your solo was the best part! I LOVE tour tone and Will buy any of your albums. From a video perspective I would have chosen a clean pool rather than the scratched up pool as YOU deserteurs to show toursrkf in the BEST environment. I hope Im not the only personen who criticized the visual. YOU ARE AN AMAZING TALENT. I wish my husband who died last year could have heard your albums.
i really love that th song wish to se you a in allabama aomeda. Still like tht sound
Closest for the near future is gonna be Memphis, TN July 13
Nils, wie immer grosse Klasse.: Dein Gitarrensound, das Video-Konzept zum Mitsingen. Wenn ich die technischen Mittel und Kenntnisse hätte wie Du, würde ich vielleicht „Mitsing-Abende“ machen , nur mit Gitarre, Playback und Leinwand mit den Lyrics. Gibt‘s hier schon im Schlager-Bereich, hab ich gehört. Hat nur noch gefehlt, dass Dich die Sängerin am Ende in den Pool stösst – wie im Vid von Chris Standring – aber der hat dafür auch ´ne Billig-Strat benutzt. „Weiter so!“
Da kein Wasser in Pool war, wäre das eher schmerzhaft gewesen :o)
Servus, NILS

What a fun upbeat video! I liked the casual effect. Friends together having a ball. The song is awesome. You make every song come alive. Hope to see you in Paso Robles on July 20th!
Thanks, see you there. If not there is always Spaghettini and Yoshi’s Oakland the same month :o)

Great take on this song! You and your band members always seem to be having a great time filming these videos. I actually understand the empty pool and it’s symbolism of “drowning’ in nothing” virtually. My take on the empty pool is as a “cenotaph” of the times (foreclosure, water shortages, man made droughts, physical economic slavery as well as dry political and economic issues at hand not only in California (but world wide). Love …really is the answer. That’s the thing about love, even in a drought or dry spell in life you need to know it is still there and all around us ( even in the empty pool where you see no reflection of those around us, you have to believe it’s still there. ) where we come to refresh and rehydrate our souls amidst the abandon and silence of emptiness we can still rebuild/refill it with the cool waters of “love’
it’s a sunny and uplifting song, (even if you do not see the words, I won’t see the words when I listen to it in my car or on itunes ) Once again you have graced your fans with another great tune that never disappoints. I am always turning on friends to your music. I have been a huge fan since hearing Pacific Coast Highway on Sirius where I ran to the receiver to find out ‘who in the hell was performing that ” the rest… is history after downloading nearly every album you have made you ARE my favorite artist . Thanks for bringing the candy of smooth jazz to our ears.
You are right, the lyrics go. If we have nothing else( even no water in the pool) we got love.
Glad you enjoyed it
Best, NILS

Truly my ear-pleasure (always) listening to you Nils. As I was listening to one of my favs…”Bird Island” earlier today…so beautiful. Looking forward to seeing you here (home) in Southern California in the near future. Congratulations on the new video and Album! Thank you much for sharing! Great and beautiful days to you on the music Tours. With best regards…Jazz Guitar Splendor! @nilsmusic ????????????????????????
Please Pardon my previous comment on the song “Bird Island”… which is not your (Nils) music. My mistake…. forgive me. On that note… one of my favorite NILS….is “Pacific Coast Highway”. Absolutely love it….the whole album. Like every other piece of your splendid guitar. ???? As said before…I’m looking forward to seeing you here! “PLAY” on!! Greatness!! @nilsmusic
No worries. Glad to hear you love PCH
