According to Stereogum, The Tallest Man On Earth, the Swedish singer Kristian Matsson, has just shared two songs on Spotify. One being an original, “Looking For Love”, and one being a cover song “Say What You Will,” which is from James Blake’s 2021 album Friends That Break Your Heart. Listen to the two tracks below
When asked about the reason for choosing Blake’s music and his thoughts on him and his work, Kristian says that he have “had the luxury of meeting him a couple of times,” and that he thinks Blake is “an inspiring and warm and talented artist.” He gives high praises to James Blake, saying that he is “a reminder of why you do what you do,” and that “James’s live shows have always been that for me.”
“Say What You Will” is a calming but empowering song that puts audiences into a silent forest with Kristian, incorporating his solemn singing with simple instruments harmoniously playing to give an serene but touching atmosphere.
Kristian has also made a mini documentary on his musical journey in creating music and overcoming difficulties, called “Birding At Betty’s,” which shows him creating music, meeting friends and collaborating with other artists, playing in front of his friends, and commenting on his own journey. See below for yourself.
We have also done a thorough review on The Tallest Man On Earth’s 2020 album Henry St., which is an album that Kristian felt the urge to create and dive into at the wake of the pandemic.
