Erik Hassle rose to fame at the age of 20 in 2008 when the contagious but emotional chorus heard in his debut single “Hurtful” spread like wildfire across Sweden. The words to his music were on everybody’s lips and he was nominated for a Swedish Grammy the year after. The tunes that Erik put out on his first album “Hassle” (2009) catches your attention immediately but still has thought and feeling behind them. Without doubt, the end of the last decennium was the right time for his soft voice – the modern soul vibe of the debut record grew popular all over Scandinavia. The following year, his EP “Taken” (2010) and album “We Dance” (2012) saw Erik’s success continue to the rest of the world and he started using his song writing talent for creating music for other artists. Since 2014, when yet another EP named “Somebody’s Party” was released, that song writing has been a major part of Erik’s life. Based in a Los Angeles studio, he has worked with great performers, like when he wrote “Can’t Remember To Forget You” for Shakira and Rihanna, and when he and Tinashe recorded “Innocence Lost” – the title track for Erik’s latest album. Erik embarked on a Scandinavian tour in early 2016, which felt like returning home since he has gotten to know his loyal audience during the years. He has also toured as an opening act for MØ in the USA, but a subsequent trip with Twin Shadow ended in disaster. “We crashed with the bus after two weeks.” says Erik. “Everyone was hospitalized and we stopped the tour. It was just around the time when I released the single ‘No Words’ (2015) and that was a very special period. The years prior to “Innocence Lost” have been chaotic, but they have also brought several meaningful connections. Erik has found a musical soul mate in Daniel Ledinsky, since it quickly was obvious that their joint writing process was unusually smooth, when working both with other artists and Erik’s solo project. That collaboration has given Erik a greater self-confidence and the music that ended up on “Innocence Lost” has become more honest. The sound has grown since his debut album but a song such as “If Your Man Only Knew” reminds us of how easy it was to sing along with “Hurtful” when it came out. Several other great names are listed among the collaborators on the latest album, like Dave Sitek, Eshraque “iSHi” Mughal and Oskar “Sikow” Engström to name a few. Living and working in Los Angeles has been a change for Erik Hassle. A person can evolve in a city like L.A, and one can get the chance to test one’s wings: “It has opened me up. Something happens, I don’t know if it’s nostalgia because of everything you get from New York and L.A in your life, but you can be the dream you dream about yourself. There is room for that there, because everyone is there for the same reason.” The work with music for other artists has allowed Erik to experiment and has made him find new energy in writing. The new perspective has also breathed fire into his solo career, which was a good sign for the release of “Innocence Lost” in the beginning of 2017, and for the future that comes after it. “I feel more fully developed now. I can do my thing, dress the way I want to, work with the people I want to work with and I can do it my own way. I feel ready for it. Lyrics Isn't It Obvious. I spend time to try to get to know you As life passing by I show you my heart I couldn't be more true I spend trust despite of everything that i've lost I put my trust in you isn't it obvious That I do love you If holding hands is too descret Let's make out in the middle of the street If this flowery just ain't enough for you Help me God, tell me what to do Couldn't be more true Isn't it obvious that I love you I get down on my knees to get you walk and run And to please your need to be connected with me In every way you can If holding hands is too descret Let's make out in the middle of the street If this flowery just ain't enough for you Help me God, tell me what to do Couldn't be more true Isn't it obvious that I love you Isn't it obvious that I need you Isn't it obvious that I love you Isn't it obvious now Couldn't be more true Isn't it obvious that I love you Isn't it obvious oh oh. Writer(s): Erik Hassle, Tommy Tysper, Gustav Jonsson, Markus Sepehrmanesh. Erik Hassle: Pieces. To look at Erik Hassle, one would picture him as the bassist of some twee pop indie band from Manchester. A tall, skinny white boy with a fashionably lopsided crop of red hair and a typically uninterested squint and pout to top it off. If it weren’t for the fact he stands alone on the cover of this album, it would be easy to pigeon hole him. However, the reality of Erik Hassle and his music is a surprisingly different matter. Hassle is more Coldplay than Vampire Weekend, more talent show than twee, and a lot more commercially oriented than his image suggests. Erik Hassle hails from a small village in Sweden, so it’s obvious no one told him that stadium pop isn’t considered “cool” in the UK anymore. It’s likely that no one showed him The X Factor either, a show which revels in the melodramatic power balladry that Hassle specialises in. But it is this very fact that makes his music so unpretentious, convincing, engaging, and thoroughly enjoyable. Pieces , an altered version of his Swedish debut Hassle re-released especially for the UK market, is thoroughly emotive, engaging, and above all, believable. In fact, Hassle’s image, far from clean cut, is a key sign that he isn’t your average manufactured pop star. He just happens to co-write and perform very easy-on-the-ear power pop anthems. One listen to the almighty chorus of “Wanna Be Loved” is both joyous and affecting, and the emotional strains of first single “Hurtful” are downright beautiful. Simple lyrics such as “You don’t know what you’ve got until you’re missing it a lot” are delivered with a poignancy and conviction that a million pop artists would struggle to pull off convincingly. One problem Hassle has, however, is that he only has one role to play on Pieces , and that is the role of angsty, heartbroken teenager, which itself is sometimes difficult to stomach, no matter how genuine Hassle’s delivery. “Isn’t It Obvious?” and “Love Me to Pieces” will please fans of Kelly Clarkson, but cries of “Help me god, tell me what to do!” and “Every beat of my heart is killing me slow” read like a diary entry from a lovestruck My Chemical Romance fan rather than lyrics from a serious recording artist. What’s perhaps the most worrying is how much Hassle seems to truly mean these lyrics as he sings them. Yet it is this that saves even the most tedious of tracks on Hassle’s debut. Vocally, Erik sounds untainted, earnest, and each note shimmers with emotion. Even when the song itself fails to engage, he sings with enough passion to keep the listener on board, even during the meaningless slog of “Don’t Bring Flowers”. The line “I’m digging in the dirt / So deep into this shit / I can taste the earth” is a particular highlight. OK, maybe Erik didn’t quite salvage that one. On the whole, however, Pieces is a fantastic showcase for the potential of Erik Hassle as a singer. With a worthy song, Hassle KOs his listeners. Closer “Amelia” is quite simply stunning, a gutsy acoustic guitar and strings ballad with an arrangement similar to that of Green Day’s “Good Riddance”. The emotional cracks in his voice as it swells up and spirals downwards in the chorus are enough to make it hard to believe anyone else could sing this song. All things considered, “Amelia” alone is worth the price of the album. It’s refreshing to hear a mainstream pop singer with a decent voice who hasn’t come from a vacuous TV show. In the age of multi-tracked Beach Boys choruses and Auto-Tune-happy divas (male and female), Erik is more than welcome in the UK for what he is: Genuine raw talent. Erik Hassle - Isn't It Obvious Lyrics. I spend "Trimes" Despite of everything that I've lost I put my trust in you Isn't it obvious that I do love you? If holding hands is too discrete Let's make out in the middle of four street If this flowers just ain't enough for you Help me god to tell me what to do. Couldn't be more true Isn't it obvious that I love you? I get down on my knees to get you walk and run And to please your need to be connected with me In every way you can. If holding hands is too discrete Let's make out in the middle of four street If this flowers just ain't enough for you Help me god to tell me what to do. Couldn't be my true Isn't it obvious that I love you? Isn't it obvious that I need you? Isn't it obvious that I love you? Isn't it obvious now? Couldn't be more true Isn't it obvious that I love you? Isn't it obvious? Erik Hassle - Make It In Time Lyrics. Babe I hate to say there's been a change of plans With Christmas coming up I'm glad you understand I know I told you dinner, wine and candlelight But babe i'm at this party, well you know the guys Why don't we postpone, I won't make it home in time. Many moones have come and gone the same old dance, the same old song the road i'm on, it keeps on turning How could I have known, i won't make it home in time. I know the 17th's our anniversary But there's been an emergency at work you see Don't hang up the phone, I will make it home in time How' you hanging in there, did you call your friends? I'll be there like I promised, I just don't know when Please don't . I will make it home in time. Many moones have come and gone the same old dance, the same old song the road i'm on, it keeps on turning How could I have known, i won't make it home in time. I tried to call you just the other day Someone else picked up, I heard a voice say "Sorry but she's gone, you won't make it home in time" 6x Might not make it in time! 2x Might not make it.. 3x Might not make it in time!
