Modern day troubadour Albin Lee Meldau has released “Persistence,” the propulsive lead single from his forthcoming Bloodshot EP, an impressive 5-song display of Albin’s deeply affecting songwriting and “profoundly arresting voice” (NPR Music) that will be released July 21 on Astralwerks (Sony Music in Nordics). The singer-songwriter will make U.S. appearances next week with an NYC showcase at the Reeperbahn Festival at Pianos on June 7, and a debut performance at Bonnaroo on June 9.

2017 is shaping up to be a breakthrough year for Albin, who hails from Gothenburg, Sweden, the son of a Swedish jazz singer mom and a British punk rocker dad. In March, NPR Music named him one of their must-see artists at SXSW and premiered his powerful video for “Lou Lou.” He has already notched more than 21 million streams on Spotify with “Lou Lou” reaching #1 on Spotify’s Viral 50 chart in five countries.

Albin was nominated for Best Newcomer at the 2017 Grammis (Swedish Grammy Awards) and won the 2016 Anchor Award, an international competition hosted by the Reeperbahn Festival in Germany that seeks out the best new emerging talent. He was selected by a jury that included producer Tony Visconti (David Bowie) who sang Albin’s praises in presenting him the award: “Something is pouring out of his heart and soul when he sings.”
