This video has been out for a hot minute or two, but it's still defiantly worth playing. Andreas Kleerup is a Swedish producer who records and produced under his last name. He's probably best know for Robyn's UK smash "Every Heartbeat" or producing a track for Cyndi Lauper's recent foray into the nightlife, Bring Ya To The Brink.
His self-titled disc drops in the US later this month on Astralworks, and the lead single features Neneh Cherry's sister Titiyo on vocals. It has similar melancholic pop feel as the Robyn single (also included on Kleerup) with the bouncy synth beat never bringing joy as much as depressing emotion. In a summer where David Guetta's collabo with Kelly Rowland will probably rule the dancefloor, Kleerup's sweetly painful electro might not find it's way into the clubs. But "Longing For Lullabies" is brilliant pop, perfect for a wet summer day like we've been having the last week here in PA.
And the video is lovely, borrowing the plots of The Sixth Sense and that Nickleback video to give a Hitch moment towards the end. It's kinda sweet... Watch:
