Isak Danielson – “King of a Tragedy” + Exclusive Interview

1. Thank you very much for your time! Before we introduce your new release to our readers – what kind of drink would you recommend to zip on while they listen to your new music?

Oooh, a Moscow Mule!

2. Please give us an update about – new single, new album, tour dates, new videos?!

All the singles coming before the album has been released, Album is coming on the 8th of April and then one more single in June. The music video for the title track of the album ‘’Fire Burns You Cold’’ is out on the 10th.

3. We live in times of many conspiracy theories. Which, harmless, theory would you wish were true? (For example Dinos living inside Earth or E.T. living in a home in California)

I have never really thought that much about conspiracy theories? Maybe that Aliens exist? That would be cool.

4. What fashion style or brand would best describe your music?

Difficult question.. a cosy sweater? The new music I’m putting out is maybe a little bit more rough then my earlier records, a pair of black Levi’s and a white t-shirt. Haha I don’t know.

5. Tell us more about your songs! Topics! Message!?

This album is all about a difficult relationship.. So a lot of love, anger, judgement but also personal growth and how much you learn about yourself being in a relationship with somebody. I hope there is at least one song on the album that you can relate to and get you through whatever you’re going through in life.

6. Beside music, do you have any special talents?

I am very good at imitating a chicken lol …

7. Being on stage feels like.!

You never wanna get off stage. It’s an amazing feeling to have people singing the lyrics you’ve written back to you or just seeing their faces and emotions when singing the different songs.

8. How did you learn to sing/ to write/ to play??

I think just practice, I’ve had the will and drive since I was very young. I went to a performing arts school when I was living in England where I got to sing a lot of old jazz and classical music, I think it was then that I really found my voice. Also imitating the singers I looked up to. 

9. A question you’d like to answer, but never been asked in an interview before?! + Answer pls

How do you reach complete happiness?

Which I don’t have the answer to.. haha, wish I did. Does anybody? But I think it’s mostly about finding inner peace within yourself and who you are, and really living in the moment. Focusing on being positive and spreading love and light, that really helps me. Also embracing the lows and being curious to those feeling instead of running from them.
