Boy In Space’s stratospheric adventures span alt-pop, electronica, rap, punk and more, taking the storytelling Swedishsongwriter over the landmark of 300 million streams - despite having just one EP, last year’s ‘FRONTYARD’, to his name. Also known for his huge collaborations with Alan Walker, Boy In Space now tees up the September 16th release of his second EP ‘BACKYARD’ with the new single ‘Lean On’.
‘Lean On’ pulls select traits from divergent styles - Nordic pop, R&B vibes and bedroom indie production - but Boy In Spaceconstructs them into one laidback and yet hauntingly nostalgic pop-leaning track. On first take, it sounds like a direct love song with the romanticism of spending late nights driving around following stars. But the opening line “Some nights I think I hear you when the wind blows” suggests the story isn’t what it first seems. Is it a story of a new infatuation or a long-distance relationship? Or does it take a darker turn into an unrequited obsession?
Boy In Space - aka Robin Lundbänk - says, ”‘Lean On’ really speaks to me in a mellow yet powerful way. It’s like I can’t get a grip of it like I’m observing a daydream. This song leaves so much room for interpretation, which I love.”
