What If / I Surrender

Introducing Magnus Carlson. Unless you're Swedish, in which case Magnus needs no introduction. Magnus is one of the most successful male artists in Sweden. His latest solo album – a testament to his passion for Northern Soul (sung in Swedish) – went straight to number one in his native country earlier this year. He’s now recorded the entire album in English and is set to release the first tracks from it in the form of an EP The Northern Soul Sessions. The gold selling album was partly recorded at Paul Weller’s Black Barn studio with producer and bassist Andy Lewis, together with a slew of top British session musicians. The record has been hailed as one of the best Swedish albums of 2017, still riding high in the album charts. The Northern Soul Sessions is released both digitally and on two special 7”s’, featuring two newly written originals, as well as two covers; the Frankie Valli classic Beggin' and Eddie Holman’s I Surrender. The tracks take the listener right back to the dancefloor of Wigan Casino. You can almost smell the talcum powder.
