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.
