Impropop produced by the singer Klara Kjellén and [ The Mopeds ]
"...and if you promise me to not look down until I´ve finished the story, Iwill tell you. But it´s not an easy thing, to let another person underyour skin."
[ Lyrics from the title song "Under your skin"
composed by Klara Kjellén 2006 ]
The new album, Under your skin was released on the German record label JOPREC in June 2007. The music was
recordedlive at Gula Studion in Malmö, Sweden by David Carlsson [ The Mopeds ]who produced it together with the singer and composer Klara Kjellén.The music can be described as IMPROPOP as it is pop music played with abalance of improvisation, structure and love.
"I just have to admit that all my songs are in a way lovesongs. Love forthis life and the people I meet, the films I see, the music I listen toand the sports I play. Love for skiing in the alps, playing volleyballon the beach and scoring goals for my local football team in London. IfI can keep having lovely people in my life, continue to write and playmusic and enjoy sports I will continue to be happy and express my lovefor life through music".
[ 01 Under yourskin ] To be able to let people you love come close and decide whetheror not you want people to get under your skin. It is sometimes easiernot to but then you would die. Either you can give up and let go or youcan reach an understanding and come closer but it’s not an easy thingto let another person under your skin.
[ 03Pink paradise ] There are moments when you hope that beyond the surfacethere would be something more, that it would be easier to getunderneath and stop pretending.
[ 04 Therunning game ] The pressure time places upon us, is such a strong powerand can often make us weak. It can be easy to forget that, when beingin the middle of the race.
[ 09 In a dream] It’s only when you sleep that you are totally helpless to your ownthoughts and not able to judge yourself or play games.
[11 I breathe without you now [Live 2003] You think you are in deep needof others and in a way you are but sometimes it is easier to just letgo.
