Kleerup had spent the early part of 2014 experimenting on new ideas and technology, and had begun to sketch out some basic ideas. But then tragedy stuck with the death of his mentor Christian Falk. “He really was like family, friend and mentor – he was everything,” sighs Kleerup. A year prior, Kleerup had hit upon the sort of bouncing, insistent bass groove that Falk himself had mastered so well. Perhaps as a subliminal way of addressing his loss, Kleerup revisited the idea and soon had something strong enough to share with kindred spirit Susanne Sundfør (Björk, Röyksopp, M83) who added the mesmeric topline. And so the upcoming single “Let Me” In was born – a song which captures the adventurous spirit of Kleerup’s earlier work while pushing the Eighties influence to a new level.

“Let Me In” will be impossible to evade in the coming months as it leads a global H&M campaign which is complemented by visuals directed by the legendary Jonas Åkerlund (Lady Gaga, Madonna, Beyoncé, to name but a few). Again inspired by his prior work with Falk, Kleerup is using the exposure to reintroduce himself to the world just as he did when he was a rising talent: “Let Me In” previews the release of the new mini-album entitled “As If We Never Won “(the title track of which features Maja Ivarsson from The Sounds), and a second mini-album will follow early next year ahead of a new full-length record.

The new material is the result of Kleerup’s continuing self-discovery. “My first album was about relationships that didn’t work out, the Me and My Army album was about good versus bad, and “Aniara” was all about confronting mortality,” he explains. “As an artist, a lot of stuff has happened in my life since the last album, but everything’s a bit easier now, thank God. Along the way, I’ve learned two things: 1) everything that  happens in the world is not my fault and 2) other people may have a point!”

Once more, it seems that Kleerup’s most personal songs will be the work that connects with the public on a global scale.




As If We Never Won

Let Me In

Standing in the night
Underneath the glass and light
Where her love remains
The pain doesn't fade, but it's a brighter shade of grey

You're my little white lie
But do you know
You're my little scare
How you make me feel?
You're my little white lie
For you I'll always be there, be there (x2)

Glowing blue and white
Caught within your line of sight
Cut me like a knife
But instead of the steel, it's the warmest touch I feel


You're my little white lie
But do you know
You're my little scare
How you make me feel?
You're my little white lie
For you I'll always be there, be there (x2)

It's scary out there
Much more than you can bear
But I'll protect you, protect you my dear

You're my
little white lie
You're my
little scare

You're my little white lie
But do you know
You're my little scare
How you make me feel?
You're my little white lie
For you I'll always be there, be there (x2)

You're my
little white lie
You're my
little scare
You're my
little white lie
And for you I'll always be there

You're my
little white lie
You're my
little scare
You're my
little white lie
When it comes to you
I'll always be there

5. Little White Lie

An evil force took his life. Now an unearthly power has brought him back. He's heaven-sent and hell on wheels! He is a phantom - a wraith. If you've done nothing wrong, you've got nothing to fear.
