Hassle way I like it

  • March 6, 2009
  • Popjustice

Lots of people are talking about Swedish sing­er­/­pop­star/­wobbly-haired genius Erik Hassle at the moment.

The reason? Well, the main reason is that his big single, 'Hurtful', is a total modern mas­ter­piece. Another reason is that lots of his other songs are brilliant as well. There are videos, songs, more bits of inform­a­tion and general blahb­lahb­lah over on Erik's MySpace.

You can already buy 'Hurtful' on UK iTunes (get it now before it's taken down in anti­cip­a­tion of a full UK release sometime this autumn) and if you like that you can also listen to his fuil album online (listen to it now before it's all changed and dicked around with in anti­cip­a­tion of a full UK release sometime this autumn).
