leppen - Ta på mig

leppen is the professional name of Swedish singer/songwriter Dan Lepp who's just released his first album En låt om året (One song each year). I haven't heard the album, but leppen's done a Swedish version of a-ha's 1985 classic "Take On Me" who caught my attention. It's a downsized, modernized and soulful take on a big song and actually sounds really good. It won't be the monster hit that the original was, but it could become a moderate, Scandinavian hit at least. I like.
