Superb Swedish songsmith with undeniable charisma!
The Tallest Man On Earth is still the enlarged alter-ego of Swedish songwriter Kristian Matsson or: that talented songsmith with his raw voice, pure songs and undisputed charisma. It is already from ’15 ago that Matsson released a new album, although we were sweet for a while last year, with his five-part multi-media project ‘When the Bird Sees the Solid Ground’. His latest single ‘The Running Styles of New York’ is certainly an excellent forerunner – according to Consequence Of Sound: ‘a strikingly melancholy song’ – for the brand new album that is to be released in April: ‘I Love You. It’s A Fever Dream’.
