We first told you about the amazing Erik Hassle back in April when he was in the UK doing some live shows and ‘Hurtful’ was doing the rounds. Well, now he’s properly here with his first official UK single ‘Don’t Bring Flowers’. Here’s the video:
Wow! That’s shockingly bad quality and a little bit out of sync but you should get the general idea and either way, it’s a prime oppourtunity to marvel at this boy’s hair.
In other BIG Erik Hassle news… ..he’s now started to Twitter in English – follow him and while you’re at it, follow me.
‘Don’t Bring Flowers’ is released on Sunday (23rd). There’s more on Erik’s official website.
Erik hails from Stockholm where he was thrown on stage at the age of three by his mother who is also a singer. The first thing you notice about him is his wonderfully big biffy hairdo, the second is his tremendous voice.
I’m not even sure if he has a record deal in the UK yet but ‘Hurtful’ seems to be emerging here, there and everywhere at the moment.
Most of his tracks are fairly low tempo, dramatic pop songs sitting somewhere between good Coldplay, Sam Sparro and Robbie Williams.
Erik is on Twitter, I’m following him but so far haven’t really got much of a handle on what he’s up to, see if you can guess:
“@Erik Hassle blir väldigt rastlös av sådana här röda dagar. vill tillbaka till replokalen och svettas.”
‘Hurtful’ is on Spotify now, we’ll let you know as soon as he appears on iTunes.
