What’s this? This is a song that we want to bring to your attention as it’s the best track on the fantastic new Darin album ‘Fjärilar i Magen’. It’s called ‘Tänk Dig’. We’ve been living with the album for a couple of weeks now so we think we’re allowed to make two seemingly hyperbolic statements. 1) It’s the best song Darin has ever made. 2) It’s one of the best ballads ever made. Of all time. Ever. Yes.
Ok! It’s absolutely stunning. So much so, that in the beginning it was actually quite difficult for us to make it through the full album, because every time we got to track 7 we just kept repeating that song again and again and again.
Written by? Darin himself, along with Peter Kvint.
And what’s the rest of the album like? We love it. There’s not a bad song on there. Sonically, it’s all very much in the same vein as his two massive hits from earlier in the year, ‘Ta Mig Tillbaka’ and ‘Juliet’. And while we’re still big fans of all of his previous albums, this one is already our fave.
Right then, let’s have a listen to this Tänk Dig’ you speak of. We’re not entirely sure he’s released it outside of the Nordics yet. But below you can watch a video of him performing it on Swedish TV last week. Plus a behind-the-scenes video of the making of the song.
