With “About You”, 30-year-old Gothenburg native Albin Lee Meldau releases his debut album and gives us deep insights into what it sounds like when your mother is a Swedish jazz singer and your father is a British punk and you yourself are at home in soul

Breaking the stunning songs down to their essence, you end up with the 29-year-old Gothenburg native’s motivation: “telling stories.” “That’s what counts in the end. If I can do that, I’m happy. Anyone can sing.”

First and foremost, Albin sees himself as a musical journalist, documenting what he feels but also what he can see. But before you even get to recognize his talent for blending emotion, detail and humanity into a unique blend of classic soul and modern pop production, you hear his voice and are blown away. Maybe anyone can sing – but Albin Lee Meldau manages something special. Indeed, this particular organ combines a tremendous history of rhythm and blues – Al Green, Van Morrison – with that of contemporary sound creators such as James Blake, Sam Smith and Hozier.
