Peter Wangel debuterer på dansk i forbindelse med Spil Dansk Ugen.

Den danske sanger og sangskriver Peter Wangel, der normalt genkendes under kunstnernavnet Wangel, udgiver den dansksprogede sang 'Hvor går du hen?' i forbindelse med Spil Dansk Ugen.

Det seneste års tid har Peter Wangel prøvet lidt af en vild rejse med sit engelsksprogede projekt Wangel. Fra P3’s uundgåelige over Spot og Roskilde Festival til en 20 koncerters tour i Danmark og udland - for bare at nævne et par af højdepunkterne.

Peters Wangel er en nysgerrig sangskriver, men da han en dag satte sig for at prøve at skrive på dansk, var det ikke med særligt høje forventninger. Det danske sprog har nemlig aldrig været hans førstevalg. Men det endte som en god oplevelse. Peter Wangel fortæller:

- Jeg har tit undgået at synge på dansk og altid set det som en svær disciplin. Alting bliver meget direkte og præcist på dansk, men det er netop det, der har givet mig lysten til at prøve. Det er en stor tilfredsstillelse for mig personligt at kunne ramme plet tekstmæssigt og kunne lytte til sangen og mærke, at den siger noget om mig selv og mine omgivelser. Jeg synes, det er svært ikke at være andet end ærlig, når jeg skriver på dansk. Ordene kommer mere flydende og automatisk. Som om de ligger lige på tungen og venter på at komme ud. Det, synes jeg, er vildt fedt! Jo mere ærlighed, jeg kan få ind i sangen, desto bedre.

Livet må ikke blive os forvænt
Sangen handler om at turde være sig selv, når man møder et nyt menneske, og om at være tålmodig, selvom man måske i starten ikke fik, hvad man ønskede sig eller var vant til. Men også evnen til at kigge indad:

Peter Wangel uddyber: 
- Livet må ikke blive os forvænt. Det bremser os som mennesker, når vi ikke kan omstille os, eller når vi vænner os til ting, som vi burde lave om på.

Oplevelsen var så god, at det ikke bliver sidste gang, at Peter Wangel skriver en sang på dansk. Lige nu og her lægger han dog alle kræfter i sit engelsksprogede projekt Wangel, hvor han arbejder tæt sammen med producer Kasper Ejlerskov Leonhardt, der også har produceret 'Hvor går du hen?'.

Peter Wangel's ”Hvor går du hen?” udkommer fredag den 28. oktober.

What will you tell your child, if it inherits your mental illness?

On Friday April 7th, the Danish artist Wangel releases his new single Reason. The song is written to his unborn child and is about passing something on – all the love in the world, and maybe a mental disorder.

What will you tell your child, if it inherits your mental illness?

Peter Wangel, the singer and songwriter behind the Danish artist name Wangel, was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at the age of 19. Now he and his girlfriend are expecting their first child – and a lot of questions start to emerge. With the new release Reason, Wangel is trying to address these in the best possible fashion.

“My love in your veins”
Reason is first of all a welcome and a tribute to the new life, which is on its way. An honest song about facing difficulties in life, but at the same time about trusting unconditional love to be the most important thing of all.

- I myself have been brought up with lots of care and love, which gave me the strength and confidence to overcome those challenges my diagnosis contains. I want to pass that strength on to my child – no matter what – and that is what Reason is about, Peter Wangel says.

Moreover, Reason is the forerunner of Wangel’s new coming album, which will be released in September 2017.

The new single and the new album are inspired by the Norwegian author Karl Ove Knausgård and his most famous books that bluntly report on his private and family affairs.

Peter Wangel:

- My previous records have especially revolved around great, ‘lonely’ emotions – things that were only inside of me. This time it’s different. At the moment my emotions are affected by something from the outside – my girlfriend, my child – and it is at this point, that Karl Ove Knausgård and his way of telling stories has helped to me to be very explicit.

Wangel is a co-operation between Peter Wangel and producer Kasper Ejlerskov Leonhardt. In May they will perform five concerts in Denmark, starting with SPOT Festival in Aarhus the 5th of May. The two of them will bring along drummer Kristoffer Tophøj.
