One of my favourite songsmiths has passed away. Listened to “Transformer” and “Berlin” all morning and remembered why Lou Reed has been such a huge inspiration to me and so many others…

… is a super talented Norwegian singer-songwriter who I had the pleasure to co-write a song. Ingrid’s first co-write, and I think we did pretty fine… We ended up with this song, that’s on her brand new album “Summer house”. Produced by David Kosten, known for his work with among others Bat For Lashes. Not available on Spotify yet, but check it out here:

Andreas Johnson’s Vintersaga

Skrevs: 2013/10/05

Today we performed Andreas Johnson’s take on Ted Ströms old hit song “Vintersaga” in the SVT show “Alla tiders hits”. A hit in the 80s with Monika Törnell and in the 90s with Jerry Williams, Andreas’ version – produced by yours sincerely – was apparently appreciated by people as we were voted on to the final! Check out a video clip of the show here (“Vintersaga” is song #4):
