“…he’s made the journey from spindly, insular indiepop to glorious, primary-coloured music, explicitly referencing 80s chart hits, soul, funk and disco. The contrast with Lekman.s mordant lyrics “How I prayed that I could stop the pain / When the pain needed more than ibuprofen,” he sings on “Evening Prayer,” a joyous disco stomper about a tumour makes it, at times, desperately moving.” – The Guardian
“…he revels in strong songwriting and brilliant hooks played on steel drums, funky horns and hip-hop bells.” – Rolling Stone
Across three studio albums, the Swedish singer/songwriter and musician has proven not only his flair for telling very personal stories with a sharp self-awareness, but also his skill for balancing depth of emotional expression with droll and often self-deprecating detail. Its a winning pop combination, an unusual combination of sonic and narrative influences, equal parts tragic and addictive pop.
In Lekman’s own words on the record – “I’m still in the process of trying to figure out what it is I’ve done. If you could help me with that I’d be very grateful. These songs are yours now, take good care of them.”
