Sebastian Karlsson - Serial Lovers

"It's the search for love on a Friday night"

Sebastian Karlsson's third album comes out soon and after the blah-ness of the lead single My Getaway (which has since grown on me but is still pretty boring), I wasn't particularly excited. But then I heard the second single Serial Lovers, by far the poppiest thing he's done so far and quite possibly my favorite track of his career. It's like he took a page from Melody Club's playbook and decided to write something totally immediate and completely danceable. Unfortunately it's a bit of a red herring as far as his album goes. The Most Beautiful Lie is heavier on the electronics than previous efforts and more upbeat, but Serial Lovers is by far the best song on the album (at least upon first listen). It's all about the chorus with this one. It's so incredibly addictive, especially towards the end where the electronics are really brought to the forefront.
