ASGER & JENNY IN A MAGICAL COLLABORATION

Today this gem is out! TRAVEL LIGHT is a collaboration between Asger Baden and myself. Him composing the instrumental parts and producing, and me writing the song melodies and lyrics.
I’m very proud of this EP, which I think is “a soundtrack for the darkest nights”.
This is Asger’s words:

On Friday, December 16 Danish composer, pianist and producer Asger Baden and famed singer/songwriter Jenny Wilson release their joined EP.
Asger Baden has made a name for himself as a film and TV-series composer with his atmospheric music featured in world-acclaimed productions such as “Breaking Bad”, “The Wolfpack” and recentlya prominent feature in the final season of “Better Call Saul”. After releasing his 3rd solo album, “If the music stops, they’ll eathim up” last year, which received the Danish Publishers Award ‘Carl Prisen’, his music began to take a more electronic direction. But something was missing: A protagonist.
He kept hearing in his head the haunting voice of one of his heroes, Jenny Wilson, of whom he had been a fan for ages. He finally managed to get in touch with Jenny and lo and behold, she was up for the collaboration. And so here we are.

Jenny Wilson is often – rightfully – hailed as the queen of alternative Scandinavian pop music. Throughout her career as both a singer, composer and producer, Jenny Wilson has proved daring and inventious, always eager and ready to move forward. A rebellious will to experiment has lead her into the arms of prominent collaborators such as The Knife, Robyn and Trentemøller.

“Travel Light” invokes through its four tracks a sense of mysterious and highly visual storytelling with Jenny Wilsons distinctive voice as the center point. Wilsons honest voice possesses the contrast of being raw and expressive yet tender and almost introvert. On this EP it is set to the whispering rumbles of synthesizers just in front or the frail conversation of plucked piano strings happening to the side. There’s an over-whelming sense of openness and atmosphere to every sound, with a churchy echo delineating the space that surrounds them.
