Studio solo debut album by Henrik Hall at a time when Love Shop was history after the departure of the band's central composer Hilmer Hassig in 2004. Lead vocalist of Love Shop Jens Unmack, who was the first to release a solo album, Vejen hjem fra rocknroll (2005), also sings on this. In fact, many of the usual staff of musicians contributing on Love Shop material also appear on this one: Thomas Risell has played on a number of Love Shop albums - he also plays bass here. Morten Woods plays guitars and adds backing vocal. Thomas Duus plays drums, and Mikkel Damgaard is everywhere on the album, just like he is and was on Love Shop albums without ever becoming an official member until the reformation of the band in 2009. Damgaard plays a major part on the album with his synths and programming, which makes up the actual sound, although all lyrics and music are credited Henrik Hall. The album is fine and refreshing with its (Iggy Pop) glam rock touch and uptempo style as a bit of a contrast to the more singer / songwriter-based songs with Love Shop. Hall comes out rebel-like and with a bunch of strong compositions bettering at least the last two studio albums by his former band.
