The project nevertheless went on hiatus as Naidoo resumed his solo career, resurfacing in 2002 with the chart-topping Zwischenspiel/Alles für den Herrn. The second Söhne Mannheims release, Noiz, did not hit retail until 2004, but it picked up where its predecessor left off with a number one place on the German charts and a pair of Top Ten singles, "Vielleicht" and "Und Wenn Ein Lied." The live Power of the Sound appeared in 2005, followed in 2008 by Wettsingen in Schwetzingen (MTV Unplugged). In 2009, Söhne Mannheims returned with Iz On, a Top Five album in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, and two years later they repeated the feat with Barrikaden von Eden. 2013 saw the release of a new single, "One Love." The following year, Naidoo once again took up his solo career, although this time the remaining members released an album in his absence, 2014's ElyZion. Sometime after the album's release, Naidoo re-joined the group alongside another former member and co-founder, Michael Herberger. This brought the total back up to 14 musicians in time for their 2017 album MannHeim, a Top Ten hit in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi
