Swedish singer, songwriter Seinabo Sey has released her debut artist album Pretend. The LP features previously released single such as "Younger," "Pretend" and "Poetic." The deluxe edition of Pretend comes in at 16 tracks and includes the Kygo remix of "Younger" and an acoustic version of the song.

The album draws on influences from all over the pop and r&b spectrum. It can feel a little disorganized at time, but it does have an authentic feel to it. The song-writing has skill of Swedish powerhouse songwriters who control the modern pop space with catchy hooks and personal lyrics that impact the listener on a personal level.

The production is varied throughout the album, ranging from lo-fi beats to more traditional soul, r&b beats and then more up-tempo pop-leaning tracks that don't come off as cheesy.

A lot of the album was released as previous singles of EPs, but it is good to have the Seinabo Sey together now in one place as an album. She really does love one word tracks.

Seinabo Sey has been a popular artist to remix by DJs, so don't be surprised to see this spawn a bevy of reworks in the coming weeks and months.

Sey's Pretend is available now to stream on Spotify and can be downloaded on iTunes. For those of you who like to hold the physical thing, CDs and vinyls can be purchased here.
