Album
Lindgren, Richard
A Man You Can Hate
(Rootsy.nu)

Price: 69 SEK

In these troubled times, artists seriously consider to stop making CDs and just release songs on myspace or itunes or whatever. Swedish singer/songwriter Richard Lindgren goes the other way. His fourth album »A Man You Can Hate is a double CD with 18 new original songs.

All involved in this project are of course well aware that this is probably not the smartest move right now, but sometimes you have to defy common sense and just go with your gut feeling.

And the gut feeling in this case says that «A Man You Can Hate» is an important piece of art. Both discs, all 18 songs.

The music might be traditional in the Dylan/The Band/Young/Springsteen sense, but Richard Lindgren reaches new levels. As a singer and as a songwriter. We're not talking any light hearted feel-good songs here. In his songs Lindgren deals with love, hatred, loss, self loathing, doubt, dreams and nightmares. It's dark, almost scary, but still enjoyable in a strange way. Much thanks to the dark humor.

And even more thanks to the excellent musicians and the work of Lindgren and co-producer and engineer Magnus Nörrenberg. The sound of «A man You Can Hate" is warm and comfortable, yet with an edge.
