Kleerup
Longing For Lullabies

Positiva

WE SAY

Along with Robyn,With Every Heartbeat gave Swedish producer Kleerup a No.1 in the UK and gave us a perfect melancholic electro pop anthem in the process. He's a massive star in Sweden, winning three awards (Best Newcomer, Best Composer and Best Producer) at this year's Grammis (their equivalent of Brits). The lead single from his self-titled debut album features vocals from Titiyo (Neneh Cherry's younger sister), it should strike the same chord at radio as Heartbeart. It has already had several plays on R1, Kiss and Galaxy. The album also features With Every Heartbeat and guest turns from other Swedish vocalists Lykke Li and Marit Bergman. Pitchfork called it 'an accomplished, cohesive debut'. Kleerup's knack for brilliant and emotive pop songs is demonstrated throughout. JF London gig: April 9, Wonky Pop @ Cargo EC2 (DJ Set)
