Paragon – AAVISST [Video]

The video, directed by Niklas Johansson (Boomerangfilm), for Paragons first single “Aavisst” is out!

 It’s been 3 years since he released his sophomore album “Löftet” and now he’s finally getting ready to release his third album “Glöd” and he sounds hungrier than ever! The electronic, yet dirty, beat  is produced by “Astma & Rocwell”. A duo that has proven earlier that they and Paragon make a great combination (this track is no exception).

“Glöd” will be out on April 21 on Hemmalaget and for more updates on the album check out Paragons blog!

Kihlen going solo

Khilen

Kihlen, who might be mostly know as a rapper in the group ”Snook” and for the mega-hit “Alla som inte dansar är våldtäktsmän”, is planning on releasing a solo album.  According to an interview with “TT Spektra” he feels that it’s time for him to take some more credit for what he’s done since a lot of people don’t realise that he’s not only a great rapper/writer but also a great producer. For example he was the producer behind “Petter“s hit “Goddamnit”, he has produced most of “Snook”s music and now he’s also written lyrics for “Veronica Maggio“s new album.

Even though nothing is recorded yet he says that the sound of the album will be nothing like the hiphop he does with “Snook” and “Maskinen” and he says that the album will probably feature a lot of song instead of rap. I’m really looking forward to see what the project will end up like, but if you think about what Kihlen has achieved so far the result can’t be anything but great!

On Friday the store “Haberdashery” will open and that will be celebrated by a opening ceremony!
