Familiarize Yourself

This holiday I am happily gifting to you another one of my secret Danish gems. I fell head over heels for Tim Christensen early in high school with Right Next To The Right One on a mix my first sweetheart made me. And though the boy didn’t turn out to be the right one, Tim Christensen has never disappointed me with his music.

I first heard Tim Christensen in 2004, a year after the release of Honeyburst, and I was blown away. His music is charged with emotions about the difficulties of love. He’s a bit different from most of the other music in my iTunes library, but I’ve never been able to put my finger on what it is that makes him standout and captivated me, but I suppose that’s part of the intrigue for me. His music seems honest to me, and I love that.

I was delighted to hear that he’s working on something new and have watched the video and listened to the new track, “Tell Me What You Really Want“, over and over and over again. Though he only released Superior in 2008. I am anticipating new music from him in the new year, and I cannot wait to hear what he’s written this time.

Enjoy.
