Kleerup ‎– Kleerup

The album has been heavily hyped, but it deserves recognition for Kleerup's craftsmanship, he has spent time polishing the songs, adding string and choirs arrangements. I wish he had spent some more time on the lyrics though, as they all seem to deal with broken relationships and border on the clichés with their "lets try one more time baby" and "I remember you" sentiments. That apart, "With every heartbeat", "Tower of Trellick", "Forever" and “Longing for lullabies” are well crafted songs that still will be played when the italo-disco fad has died out (if it hasn't done so already).
