One of my favourite songsmiths has passed away. Listened to “Transformer” and “Berlin” all morning and remembered why Lou Reed has been such a huge inspiration to me and so many others…

Their brand new album “Unholy ground” was released Oct 18, and it contains the song “Afraid of the midnight”, co-written with Samu Haber and Sharon Vaughn. Doing great in Germany, currently #2 in the German Itunes album chart!   😎

… is a super talented Norwegian singer-songwriter who I had the pleasure to co-write a song. Ingrid’s first co-write, and I think we did pretty fine… We ended up with this song, that’s on her brand new album “Summer house”. Produced by David Kosten, known for his work with among others Bat For Lashes. Not available on Spotify yet, but check it out here:
