The baby of Hjalmar Antonsson, Whomsoever is the latest promising new artist out of Malmö, and he released his debut single Testament last week. Tucked away as the B-side to that song however is a song that’s probably even better. While on Testament he takes on big synth-pop, Shut Up sees him try his hand as a soul man. Set over simple, syrupy lounge-pop, Antonsson really has to step into the spotlight as a frontman and sell this song, and he does that wringing his voice into a winning falsetto and living every word like his life depended on it. It’s a difficult song to pull off, but he makes it work with his charisma and willingness to bare his heart. Antonsson says: “The song is written to myself and is about my fear of being stupid, uninteresting and not daring to be ugly. It’s a song of encouragement to dare to let go of the vanity and show who I am”. The Testament/ Shut Up double-single is out now on Adrian Recordings.
