I am happy to announce that my first single (A Summer Day in April) in a couple of years has been released today on all major platforms. After a few fairly intense albums with a lot of instrumentals and working with a lot of different people I felt it was time to try something different. First and probably most importantly I am not singing lead on any of the songs of the coming album – instead I have found an amazing Argentinian singer, Camila Castelani. It wasn’t a big decision as such – I have been looking for female singers to sing my songs for years, but the problem has always been that they didn’t really interpret the stories that I wrote. Camila does, and she does it really well. Go check Camila out on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@CamilaCastellani) or on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/camilacastellanii)
I have also turned towards a more acoustic style of music with a latin touch. I guess you could say that the songs have a slightly more carefree and summerly feel than most of my previous songs without being bland.
First song out is “A Summer Day in April”. A naive love story with the endless summer of 2023 (not in Denmark though, here it was raining) as an apocalyptic backdrop.
I will be releasing a new song every 6 weeks or so (I am still not finished with the entire album) and release the full album some time during the summer of 2024.
I hope you enjoy this single and will follow me onto this new path.

Oh, and by the way, I really wanted AI to write this post for me, but it kept coming up with shit like this:
“In a bold move defying meteorological norms, I present to you “A Summer Day in April,” available now for your auditory perusal on all platforms where music deigns to stream. Camila Castelani lends her voice, interpreting my tales with an authenticity that’s been eluding me for years. The sound? An acoustic dalliance with a Latin flair – because why not add a bit of the unexpected? Give it a listen; it might just be the most interesting thing to happen this April.”
