Before, Johan Reinhold made hip hop music under the name Fall One , and in 2008 he released the album "Behind Blue Eyes". Now he's changing his route and is coming out with something quite different. At least if I'm considering the first single track, the excellent "Shoot Me Down" from the upcoming album "Beautiful Loser", where he instead present some melancholic singer/songwriter pop. Listen to the song below or together with four remix versions on his Soundcloud page . You can also find Johan on Facebook . Shoot Me Down
"Shoot Me Down" kicks off with a rock/blues guitar solo that immediately had my mind jumping to the hey day of air guitars, awful mullets and sparkly skin tights onesies. If you think that is a bad thing you are sorely mistaken. The track then takes a more indie pop turn and boasts a catchy hook and sing along chorus. Johan Reinhold's voice seems to permeate between blues, pop/rock and fashionable indie styling. You could easily draw some comparisons with Alex Clare. The EP marks a re-work of a previous version of Shoot Me [...]

Shoot Me Down, a poignant song about love-hate relationships, holding on too long, and the numbness that follows is the single from the upcoming full-length debut "Beautiful Loser" by Swedish indie electro-pop singer/songwriter, Johan Reinhold. Produced and engineered by Astma & Rocwell and Lasse Mortén (Lykke Li, Peter, Bjorn & John, Primal Scream and others). This song jumps at you from under the cover of darkness, the instant pull from the electric guitar and its piano counterpart start this song. But really what jumps out at you on this slow burner is how well Reinhold builds his song around the chorus. [...]

It's Friday, at long last. Not because I've been working so hard (I'm currently jobless) but because shit is happening this weekend and I've been bored. As I've not been working I've been able to catch up on all sorts of music, new and old, and I thought I'd share some of it with you. It's a varied mix, from Swedish alt-rock to some West Coast lo fi to one of my favourite Latin songs. Anyway, peruse, listen, browse and do any number of other things with the music. Finally, be sure to buy anything you like. To [...]

This song from Swedish artist Johan Reinhold is an interesting blend of classic rock style guitar riffs and the weighty electronic-style textures in the same vein Lykke Li's Wounded Rhymes or Peter, Bjorn and John's latest effort Gimme Some, who also happen to be Swedes. The electric guitar that begins "Shoot Me Down" piqued my [...]
