Jens Lekman will release his new album, Life Will See You Now, out on Secretly Canadian via Inertia Music
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. It’s a winning pop combination.
His fourth, Life Will See You Now is a typical Lekman album in several ways: sly humor is key to its heartfelt nature; it inverts pop’s writing norm by making songs with sad concerns sound happy and songs with a happy subject sound sad; and it plays with notions of identity and the self.
Lekman experiments with different kinds of rhythms - disco, calypso, samba and bossa nova all get a bespoke twirl in the spotlight - and so he called on producer Ewan Pearson (M83, The Chemical Brothers, Goldfrapp) to help realise his new songs, and allow his ideas to flourish in his latest, emboldened direction.
