7th studio album by Lars H.U.G. is his first studio album in 11 years. This is a nice return to form, which means primarily uptempo pop / rock with hints of art pop and a style that is closer to his best albums of the late 1980s and early 90s. It's quite impressive how tight it sounds and the way it updates his repertoire without having taken part of the whole music industry for more than a decade. His voice still has its charm and strengths on an album that includes a long list of featuring musicians including old associates like Finn Verwohlt, Flemming Muus, Nanna Lüders, and Johannes E. Møller (aka Johnny Voss from their former band Kliché). The first half of the album is clearly the strongest. The second half reminds me more of his two previous albums; however, it's still a fine and somewhat surprising return of one of the finest voices of Danish music of the 1980s
The front covert art is again made by Lars H.U.G.
