Albin! Out of absolutely nowhere he’s gone on to have what’s been indisputably the biggest hit in Sweden this summer, and arguably the year so far – ‘Din Soldat’. Here’s what we wrote about the song before it became all huge and stuff back in early May.
Sensibly, once all involved realised just how big it was becoming, an EP was planned – and the four track record, also titled ‘Din Soldat’, was released earlier this month.
Standout track (aside from the title track obvs) is ‘Moment 22’. And it features none other than Mattias Andréasson – the former EMD member whom perhaps not many people realise actually co-wrote and produced ‘Din Soldat’ for Albin. Understandably, ‘Moment 22’ has been made much in the same mould as ‘Din Soldat’ was. There’s a catchy piano-house production, Albin raps the verses, and there’s a large melodied chorus that is sung by Mattias Andréass0n this time, in place of Kristin Amparo. Actually, Mattias has ended up singing on the other two songs on the EP too. But ‘Moment 22’ is definitely the best of the lot.
Below you can watch both chaps perform the song on Nyhetsmorgon. And listen to the song via the lyric video.
