Well, it's December so that means it's time for a new album of the month. Kristofer Åström's "Loupita" is easily one of my top picks for the year, so it's quite the fitting choice for my end of the year spotlight. I'm sure mostly everyone is sick to death of me raving on and on about how good this is, but seriously, if you haven't given it a chance yet, do yourself a favor and check it out. I promise you won't be disappointed. I contemplated posting a new mp3 from the record, but instead decided to go with something a bit more special: a live recording of Kristofer singing the album highlight and lead single "The wild" with Britta Persson from Startracksdagen in Stockholm. Amazing. Can't wait to hear the new full-band album "So much for staying alive" when it comes out next March.
