Hassle |
 Three
years is a long time at a point when overnight success is taken
to be the norm, but at the age of just twenty singer, songwriter
and idiosyncratic soul pop talent Erik Hassle already believes
in taking things slowly. It is just as well: his signature tune
"Hurtful" took a year to start climbing the
charts in Sweden, but that first trickle of success quickly
became a tidal wave.
Now the cycle begins again in the UK, not with "Hurtful"
(yet) but, to kick things off, with the synthy acoustic number
"Don't Bring Flowers". There is also an
album titled 'Hassle'. You can trace it back, if you wish,
to a tiny village voted the most boring place in all of Sweden,
and the first time Hassle picked up a drum stick at the age
of five then fell in love with the Wilson Pickett albums belonging
to his best friend's father. But the real story of this album
is a more recent three year window of life, frozen in song.
PCM's Kristyn Clarke had the opportunity to chat with Erik
Hassle about what it was like growing up in Sweden, what fans
should be expecting with his album, and what 2010 has in store!
