Erik Hassle

For fans of Sam Sparro, I can easily recommend the Swedish musician Erik Hassle. Rumor has it that he was just signed for an impressive sum of money at Island UK and I'm not surprised. I predict Hassle will be on American radio in a matter of weeks.

His singing is incredibly skilled for someone approaching 21 years old, and Hassle's lyrics revolve mostly around stories of heartbreak and relationship matters. This music is obviously not life-changing or innovative (we can let Radiohead take care of that genre) but it's the kind of talent that is very easy to appreciate. The song "Hurtful" is a pop gem, listen to it here.
