if there is one artist that had a lengthy queue for people wanting to kiss arse or fondling genitals, in sweden mind you, then it's håkan fucking hellström. he's tolerable but i can honestly say that i'm not a big fan but i do like some songs. this one for instance was introduced to me when i was listening to national radio station p3. the music policy executives at p3 are big fans and were excited once they got the promo back in october 2010.
they busted out this one and normally i would have just switched station but i was in a recordstore in stockholm and holding a big stack of cardboard singles. it kicked off with some lucious drums and a groove that didn't sound like hellström. infact it sounded like like a dfa records meets compost records thing. i was in love.
i would die happy if an instrumental would ever be released to be honest but to be honest i think i could easily rock the vocal version as well. those drums & bongos and that bassline and those lovely string stabs.
the only other håkan hellström track that i like very much is "klubbland" which has a similar vibe but is more driven by it's synth hook. that hook which is quasi nicked of an other song which i can't name but i'm still looking. for some reason i keep thinking it is patti labelle's "love, need & want you" or a george mccrae song whomwhich i can't remember the title of.
however i think "dom där jag kommer ifrån" one ups "klubbland" with since the performance of håkan is better in it.
