Kristofer Hedberg - Hälsning från 737

"Hälsning från 737" is the first taste of Kristofer's latest solo album "Mina jag och du" which was produced by Lasse Lindh and Peter LeMarc. Kristofer is also a member of the new Americana trio Easy October alongside Kristofer Åström and Nikke Ström (Nationalteatern, etc.) who will be releasing an album this summer.

Lasse Lindh busy in Korea

The Lasse Lindh/Eniac collaboration "Sunday afternoon" will be included as a bonus track on the Korean edition of Lasse's album "Sparks" which will be released over there on April 23. Also, Lasse's sophomore album "You wake up at Sea Tac" will get a Korean release that same day in a new edition containing five bonus tracks.

Lasse Lindh to release single collection

Lasse Lindh's new singles collection "Svenska hjärtan 05-09" will be out on March 19 and will include the new single "Jag ska slåss i dina kvarter" as well as the new track "Flickan på drift". Also, apparently if you preorder from CDON you get bonus tracks with new versions of old songs.

Lasse Lindh
Jag ska slåss i dina kvarter
Groover Recordings

Lasse Lindh has been active last few years with his stabilized interval of releases, and we simply dig that, don't we? He is a pop-pro, with good quality songs throughout his career, and more or less in the same category as Håkan Hellström and Markus Krunegård. Say what you want about easily broken song-voices, it's not an impediment in times like this, rather the opposite. The recordings from last year started in Gothenburg together with the producer Hans Olsson Brookes, the same producer working with Timo Räisänen, ain't surprising if you think of "Kom kampsång" (2008), right? Well this single "Jag ska slåss i dina kvarter" (and b-side "Vi har dansat för länge utan takt") is in the summer festival category of course, with its freshness, youth-appeal and energy! Everyone wants to dance to this song this year, with a collective longing for that sparkling hard-to-get love that you could simply die for. And I have to throw out an extol, 'cause you know what, I just love artists like this, writing songs in the native language, making the words understandable to all. This is fresh and delicate sweet Swedish pop at its best; don't miss this one.
- Therese Buxfäldt

Lasse Lindh's new single "Kom kampsång", a duet with fellow Swede Timo Räisänen, will be out on May 21 and will include the b-side exclusive "Hur lätt du är att älska" plus a cover of Timo's "Mr Saturday".

MP3: Lasse Lindh - Varje lite steg

Still in California, stealing wireless Internet from one of my mom's hapless neighbors, so with Passover tonight and all my other family obligations, I'm letting contributor Jason Christie handle today's mp3 post:

Lindh's self ironic biography is as catchy as this song. As bouncy as Maia Hirasawa's "And I found this boy" and all very Swedish, not least for the native lyrics/obligatory piano trumpet moments. The Håkan Hellström method of plagiarism on "Kom igen Lena" might be at work here as there's a huge plagiarism of Tears for Fears' "Everybody wants to rule the world" during the last bridge.
This cut comes from "Ditt hjärta måste gå sönder" (Lindh's sixth album). If you have not heard of him, or his music "Varje lite steg" has been the perfect in road for me and will be this years' perfect music for Easter egg painting/rolling.Lindh plays a double release party at String and Pet Sounds in Stocklholm on April 4. The album is out April 4.
