2nd studio album by Swedish band Kapten Röd, which practically means Björn Nilsson and his backing group. The style is typical dancehall and ragga with lyrics in Swedish. It's nicely produced and it strikes me as one of the more successful contemporary dancehall releases.
To me, this sounds much like a mix of the Danish bands Bikstok Røgsystem and Bli'Glad, sometimes more hip hop-styled, at other times more reggae-inspired but mostly just plain dancehall and just so plain positive and warm-fuelled as possible.
