Review by A. Catherine Noon

Album Review: Selvom Du by Karl William – A Pop Gem That’s Hard to Shake Off Alright, let’s get one thing straight—this isn’t your run-of-the-mill pop album. Nope. Selvom Du, released in 2019 by Danish artist Karl William (under Sony Music), is the kind of record that sneaks up on you when you least expect it. One moment you're just vibing, and the next? You’re humming “Selvom Du” while brushing your teeth. Don’t ask me how I know. First off, kudos to Frederik Carstens for wearing more hats than a milliner at Fashion Week. The guy didn’t just produce this baby; he also played drums, bass, piano, strings, percussion, synthesizer—you name it. If there was an instrument lying around the studio, chances are Carstens touched it. Meanwhile, Tais Stausholm added some killer guitar riffs, and Jesper Vivid Vestergaard made sure everything sounded smooth as butter with his mastering and mixing magic. Oh, and Karl William himself? Dude wrote the lyrics, sang his heart out, and somehow kept all these moving parts glued together like musical duct tape. Now, onto the tracks. Let’s talk about the titular song, “Selvom Du.” It’s catchy as heck—a blend of heartfelt lyrics and a melody that feels like sunshine breaking through clouds after a week of rain. The chorus sticks to your brain like gum under a school desk. And no shade, but if you can listen to this without accidentally singing along in public, you’re either a robot or just really good at pretending not to enjoy life. Another standout is… well, honestly, I only remember bits of the second track because my Spotify shuffled too fast—but hey, isn’t that what makes albums fun? Sometimes it’s less about dissecting every note and more about letting the vibe wash over you. Like a warm shower for your ears. Or maybe cold, depending on how dramatic you’re feeling. What struck me most about Selvom Du is its balance between polished production and raw emotion. Sure, it’s slick enough to fit snugly into any European pop playlist, but there’s a vulnerability here that keeps things grounded. Karl William doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel—he just gives it a fresh coat of paint and lets it roll downhill. In conclusion, Selvom Du is proof that sometimes simplicity done well trumps complexity gone wild. Is it perfect? Nah. But who cares? Life’s messy anyway, right? So grab your headphones, crank up the volume, and let this album remind you why we still bother listening to music in the first place. Besides, where else will you find a drummer-slash-bassist-slash-pianist-slash-string-player-slash-producer who probably moonlights as a superhero? Final verdict: 8/10. Would recommend pairing with coffee and existential thoughts.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s a cool fact: The album *Selvom Du* by Karl William is basically a one-man show, with Frederik Carstens handling almost everything—guitar, drums, bass, piano, strings, and even the synths. It’s like he wore every hat in the studio. And fun twist? Jesper Vivid Vestergaard mastered *and* mixed it, giving the album its polished sound. Released in 2019 under Sony Music, it’s a neat example of how much creativity can come from just a couple of people working closely together.
