Sondre Lerche - Sentimentalist

Norwegian singer/songwriter Sondre Lerche is currently touring Japan to promote his new album Please, after what appears to have been a successful string of concerts in North America and Europe, which ended in two concerts in Oslo last Saturday that I sadly missed due to me being at work in the Canary Islands. That aside, here's "Sentimentalist", the stand-out track and latest single of the new album, a killer song where the protoganist is so at the end of his rope that it just plain hurts. The video perfectly captures the mood of the song, and although Please is an overall excellent album, "Sentimentalist" really stands out. It's a melancholic masterpiece and one of Lerche's best songs to date, 13 years into his recording career, and one of the songs of 2014. Please enjoy it, and if you're interested, have a look at the interview I did with Sondre prior to the tour.
