Best Music 2013: Erik Hassle Reveals His Favorite Album Of The Year

Sam Lansky | December 13, 2013 6:00 am

Erik Hassle came back swinging this year with a fresh US deal with RCA Records and a brilliant new single, “Talk About It” — but while the Swedish crooner’s downtempo electro sound is distinctly Nordic, his influences turn out to be much more varied than his music might suggest.

His pick for best of the year? Kanye West‘s Yeezus, which also featured prominently on our own editors’ Best Of 2013 list. Looks like our tastes are aligned, Erik!

Watch him talk about the record up top.
