Jefferson Airplane's 'Somebody To Love' (written by Darby R. Slick) featured in Dutch film 'Rokjesdag'.

Albin Lee Meldau releases his debut single 'Lou Lou'. The sparse and raw production showcases a standout voice that weaves a story of an enslaving and destructive love. Produced by fellow-swede, and famed Lykke Li contributor, Björn Yttling the single marks the introduction of a unique voice and storyteller. 

"My life has been characterized by tones, from Sonia Hedenbratt's babbling, The Wailers wailing, Otis crashing to Dylan's poetry. When I turned seven years old my dad gave me a boom box, and Bob Marley’'s'Kaya' and my uncle, who could play Hendrix for fun, came in his sunglasses and played 'Voodoo Child' on his guitar."
- Albin Lee Meldau
