Erik Hassle - Sometimes When It Rains

Mar 31, 2011, 8:26pm #1 Hits From Another Planet

"I can hear your heartbeat for miles" Okay, confession. I haven't actually listened to the EP that this is taken from yet, but I'm very eager to. Erik Hassle hasn't ever released anything subpar, and his most recent single Are You Leaving is one of his best. The clips of the EP (particularly Stay Away ) sound great and this track, while less instantly poppy, is a nice example of the more electronic sound he's been exploring with members of legendary Swedish band Kent. Hassle's vocals and songwriting skill [...]

Watch New Erik Hassle Video "Are You Leaving"

Mar 31, 2011, 6:43pm arjanwrites music blog

It's been a while since we've heard from him, but let's make sure not to forget about Erik Hassle . In fact, the Swedish singer has been holed up in a studio for the past few months to write and record material for his new album. And the first result of his hard work has arrived. Check out the video for his brand-new single "Are You Leaving ," which is taken from his pre-album EP, titled " Mariefred Sessions ."

Erik Hassle - "Be Mine" (ft. Ellie Goulding) (Robyn Cover)

Mar 23, 2011, 3:14pm Sunset in the Rearview

UK artists Erik Hassle and Ellie Goulding have recorded an acoustic cover of Robyn’s “Be Mine,” and it’s immediately become a favorite of mine. This is an absolutely beautiful little ballad, and really speaks to the heart. I seem to have been posting a lot of heavy hip hop, or maybe what some people consider rap ( what’s the difference? Read here …) lately, but my heart still melts when it hears a song like this. I’m just a 5’1 white girl who comes off hard with her [...]

Erik Hassle “Are You Leaving”

Mar 15, 2011, 10:52pm Mixtape Maestro

So how many years can someone be touted as an up and coming future pop sensation before the predictors' have to face facts and realize the dream needs to be let go? Awesomely coiffed blue-eyed soul/ pop crooner Erik Hassle has been bathed in "One To Watch" buzz since he dropped the still-great single "Hurtful" in 2008, yet while he's garnered some major success in his homeland of Sweden (earning three Top 40 singles and their equivalent of a Best New Artist Grammy) and become a semi-fixture around the music blog circuit, a [...]

Erik Hassle is quite the hitmaker

Mar 8, 2011, 2:30am It's Pop!

I love Erik Hassle . Party because he's got a fantastic debut album ( Pieces) , partly because this album never met the success it was supposed to meet. I like myself an outsider, the one only a few people know and appreciate, a lost gem patiently waiting to explode. Outsiders in music are always more interesting than successful acts, as proved by this simple example : Marina And The Diamonds > Rihanna. So, remember, two [...]

Slowing it down a bit on this fine Tuesday with a little Erik Hassle and Ellie Goulding duet. If you want to zone out and relax, this is your pick. If you're looking for some Wiz and Snoop instead, please see below. That's the beauty of this site. In other news, I'm seeing Ellie at The Paradise in Boston in a couple weeks.

Amazing Things I’m Listening to From Sweden, Vol. 2

Feb 24, 2011, 11:08pm MuuMuse

Fact: The Swedish government puts trace quantities of MDMA in the drinking water in Sweden. Because of this, Swedes feel their emotions with earth-shattering profundity, and have no choice but to make devastatingly beautiful pop music about it. Fact: What I just wrote was not entirely true. (They use GHB.) Seriously though, the music coming out of Sweden right now is at least twice as amazing as the next-most amazing thing you're listening to right now (sorry, " Bruno Mars "). In my new series, Amazing Things I'm Listening to From [...]

Britney, electropop and Swedes: a week around the pop blogs

Feb 23, 2011, 11:00am Love Machine

This Must Be Pop features new tracks from Erik Hassle (brilliant) and Six-D (genius but bound to get very annoying very quickly, in Love Machine’s opinion), as well as continuing to round up Sweden’s Melodifestivalen . The Pop Sucker  approves of Lykke Li’s new album, and takes an off-message diversion into folky singer-songwriterness with James Vincent McMorrow before rounding up some hip’n’happening electropop, including one of our favourite tracks of the moment by Burns and Fred Falke ft. Seb . Scandipop post the new track by Annie with [...]

Erik Hassle's album was one of the best in its year, but it didn't get the reception that it deserved. The Swedish crooner is not letting that stop him. He's back with another single titled "Are You Leaving?" from yet another album set to be named  Mariefred Sessions . Let's hope this one's as good as the old one.

MuuMuse Approved: Erik Hassle – Are You Leaving

Feb 17, 2011, 8:44pm MuuMuse

Erik Hassle hasn't had much luck breaking into the international music market outside of his homeland. Despite being met with warm reception in Sweden for his 2009 debut Hassle (which soared to #2 on the Swedish Albums Chart), the singer failed to make further waves internationally with the release of both his debut UK single "Hurtful" (which stalled at #57 on the UK Singles Chart) and his debut's 2010 repackaging, Pieces (which failed to chart). With "Are You Leaving" however, the lead single from his upcoming mini-album Mariefried [...]

On the one hand - Erik Hassle should give up on the 'popstar' thing

Feb 15, 2011, 12:46pm RobotPigeon

...Because if he can't get a hit with 'Hurtful' then we have no idea what it will take to get people to pay attention to this bloody amazing man. But on the other hand - if his post-Hurtful music is as amazing as his new single 'Are You Leaving' then we hope he keeps the music coming for many years to come. His new track is a ruddy wonderful piece of electro-balladry which is both danceable and a little bit boo-hoo-hoo like so many other Swedish musicians. PS. Apologies for the [...]

Free MP3 Download: Erik Hassle "Taken (Still In My Blood)"

Dec 19, 2010, 10:05am arjanwrites music blog

Swedish pop singer Erik Hassle pops back onto the scene with " Taken (Still In My Blood) ," a fantastic new ballad that is the title track of a digital EP that was exclusively released in Sweden. The tune packs a bittersweet, instantly relatable sentiment and a moving melody that often make up the timeless pop that is produced in Sweden. It must be in that Nordic water. After Hassle's international debut LP " Pieces " unfortunately failed to gain momentum in the charts, the singer has been working in the studio to craft songs for a new [...]

Danger’s Favorite Remixes of 2k10

Dec 8, 2010, 2:38pm dipped in dollars

So it's that time of year again, the season of list-making. I said the same thing last year , but I still feel the same, so I am shamelessly copying and pasting. Though often overdone, and largely mediocre, a good remix can be a powerful thing. It can transform a great song into an even greater one, and a not that great one into an enjoyable listening experience. They allow music to transcend genres, and when done right, create a song that one thinks of as completely separate from the original. I've chosen to list these by remixer and [...]

Erik Hassle - If It Takes All Night

Oct 20, 2010, 8:40pm #1 Hits From Another Planet

"That's just impolite" After a fantastic debut album, Erik Hassle has released a new EP, complete with his non-album single ( I totally called this one , btw) Standing Where You Left Me . Nothing on it is as good as that track, but it's still an interesting between-albums placeholder. I'm pretty fond of the midtempo If It Takes All Night , which features some incredible percussion and a gentle synth melody. It's another example of how well genre-crossing works for Hassle. He's got a relatively well-recognized type of pop voice, so it suits [...]
