The Kleerup version was already a hit and was easily one of his album's highlights, but as far as I'm concerned, that's not saying too much. A decent tune among a bunch of mediocre formulaic pop songs and even-weaker instrumentals is still a decent tune, but it's not necessarily anything all that special. Good thing Titiyo includes "Longing for lullabies" again on her new record "Hidden" because once again it's a standout among other lesser works. However, I'd actually say her solo version is all that special. The lowkey approach and darker mood seems far more fitting than Kleerup's electro version, especially when you compare the two vocal takes. If you want to hear actual longing sung in a lullaby fashion, this is the one.
