Single Review: Staffan Lincoln – “Know You”

Staffan Lincoln – or the group of Swedish Kebab (I couldn’t figure out) – creates “Know You,” which is a good mix of blues, electronic, jazz and soul music. Staffan’s vocals dominate in creating the mood for the song. The instruments, including a piano, a guitar and a synthesizer, blend to create the melody. You can almost picture Staffan and the band playing in a jazz club playing “Know You.” The song is very intimate with lyrics like “know what makes you laugh and what makes you bleed.”

“After writing this song, it took me a while to start recording it, because it made me feel naked and I needed to put some distance between what I was feeling and what the words in the song said.” – Staffan Lincoln

This song is a free download from Swedish Kebab. There are a few other songs available for free including: “Pure Powder”, “Touch of 6581” and “Be There For You.”
