"I know.
You’re wondering: What’s wth the makeup right? Everyone does. The Swedes are anyway.

"There's a back story to this post, and it includes one of Sweden's more popular solo artists. His name is Håkan Hellström, (pronounced Hawkan Hellstroem), and he might not be the best singer int the world but his lyrics are simple and straight-forward, in a David Bowie kind of way. He's from my home town of Gothenburg and he just managed to sell out the biggest stadium twice, playing for an audience of about 140.000 people in two days. It's really a thing to become somewhat of a prophet in your home town, but he's done it in some way."

"Ännu en natt fylld av Håkan. Sådär perfekt på ett sätt som man själv alltid skulle önskat om man fyllde sin hemmaarena två gånger om, sätter rekord och skapar allmän hysteri som skapar soniska svallvågor över hela landet. Min Instagram är nu ett stadigt flöde av bilder och videos på ett massivt folkhav och något slags rekord i Håkan-karaoke när telefonerna hellre tar upp folks allsång runt omkring än själva konsertljudet."

"So when the time-consuming task of putting the new Motherpearl album together is starting to reach the end, and you realize that you have to stand by your creation in a cocky and proud pose and let the world know that "this is what we do, and we're damn good at it", well, then the nervousness sets in faster than Miley Cyrys sheds her clothes in a music video."
