The project is a carefully constructed cheerful celebration of everything that has shaped him into the man he is today.
Zlatan’s music is informed with a worldliness that is never forced. His ability to span different realms, and neither performance appears deceptive but rather complementing. The album is a tribute to Zlatan’s powerful lyrics, hit-making abilities, and ability to fluidly transition between genres.
