// Hamlet are Fran and Oded K.dar

Just in time for autumn, Fran invites us into club music’s parallel world with the project Hamlet: aided by Oded K.dar (NÖRD / The Koletzkis) on the piano, she presents cover versions of beloved electronic classics such as ‘Sky and Sand’, ‘Limit to your Love’, ‘Howling’ or ‘Hypnotized’ on the fittingly titled album ‘Piano’. The initial idea came to the duo at a birthday party; the first baby steps followed the very next day. Surprised by the potential, the autodidactic singer Fran and the studied concert pianist Oded searched far and wide for the perfect grand piano, which they eventually found in the form of an old Steinway at the Greve Studio in Berlin. Thus, the drunken whim developed into fourteen beautiful covers over the course of numerous nightly recording sessions. 

Reduced to vocals and piano, Hamlet let the original track’s essence resound. One is able to hear the soul of the song, as the minimalistic rendition enables breathing space. Moderat’s ‘Bad Kingdom’ or Kraftwerk’s ‘Das Modell’ suddenly appear like honest black and white portraits. The words and melodies, embedded in the harmonies of the piano, are like the wrinkles and peculiarities of a face stripped of make-up, emerging in a hitherto unseen fashion. A new aesthetic is created through the reduction. Removed from the club, the songs on ‘Piano’ are defined by their pure emotiveness – sometimes of a euphoric, sometimes of a melancholic nature – while they are also a nostalgic bridge to their original context. They seem like a vague memory of a late night; like the walk home in the quiet hour before dawn.

In 2012, Isak Danielson made headlines when he placed third on Sweden’s first season of X Factor at just 15-years-old. Honing his chops as a writer, he went from the 2014 single “Long Live This Love” to his independent EP, Volume One, a year later. 2018 saw him making waves on his first full-length Yours. Dancer and influencer Maddie Ziegler fuelled the viral success of “Ending,” which appeared on So You Think You Can Dance in the U.S., became a favorite of professional dancers around the globe, and his music appeared in Marvel’s Cloak and Dagger. 
“Ending” vaulted into the Top 10 of the Hollywood Reporter Top TV Songs Chart. The artist continued his prolific output with the 2019 EP Run To You before turning his attention to what would become Remember To Remember Me. 
Isak is now releasing his first single ‘Almost Heaven’ from his upcoming album set for release next year. The single is a cover of Jeremiah Lloyd Harmon’s ‘Almost Heaven’, and is a perfect match for Isak’s voice.
