Wild begins with a solo heartbeat in the keyboards. It's not a resting heart rate. It's the heightened rate of a caged animal pacing along the bars. The verses feel restrained. Held in. Clenched. And then the chorus explodes with a belty vocal sound...a calling out...and horns join in. Violins represent the yearning to be free, and the drum solo represents the caged wildness.
It was in writing Wild that the title for my album, ANIMA, came about. In my 30's, I realized that I believed being a separate, independent self who didn't try to please everyone felt akin to being a wild animal. It felt selfish, and doing what I wanted was sure to hurt other. But I felt like a caged tiger. I wanted to be free, and I couldn't take care of everyone else at my own expense anymore. I had to uncage myself and be WILD if I was going to live an authentic, vibrant, powerful life, let alone have something to say in my music. I had to let other people be their own animal, too, because the ANIMA is where our breath, soul, spirit, courage, desire, and life force originate. We all need to be beautifully wild in our own ways.
Wild
This crazy love can’t seem to get a hold of itself
Until I’ve drained myself dry
Filling the gaps, spilling through cracks in broken hearts
‘Til I start to break apart
This wild heart has to be set free
If it’s gonna survive
This wild heart can only beat for me
If it’s gonna stay alive
This crazy love gets so tangled up in you
And this web we’ve spun ourselves into
Can’t move, can’t breathe,
Can’t loosen even one string
For fear we both start unraveling
This wild heart has to be set free
If it’s gonna survive
This wild heart can only beat for me
If it’s gonna stay alive

Skipping Shavasana – Anywhere
“"Skipping Shavasana" take us on a memorable trip of passion and obsessive feelings. Alt Pop sound successfully combined with vintage elements and vocals that pull like strong magnet even the most selective listener. Music which can push beyond the typical ear borders.”
-Nagamag.com
The song was composed on the piano, which reflects in the chord progression. The goal was to create a dreamy and atmospheric ballad with a more focused and catchy/strong chorus. The song contains a lot of retro (60s,70s,80s) elements, sounds and influences supporting the vibe. The vocals and melody in the verses and bridge, just as the instrumental, are soft and atmospheric, while the chorus (and guitar solo) is super strong and catchy, reaching its peak in the last double chorus. The song is a captivating journey of soft and atmospheric parts mixed with stronger and louder parts. Lots of details make for an interessting listening experience.

-Nagamag.com
Swedish singer/songwriter Princis returns with “Jag kommer flyga”, an emotional song about the dream of succeeding as an artist. With an intimate sound, the emotional character of the track reminds of the style of Jack Johnson.
Speaking about the topic of the song, Princis describes it as “The longing to succeed with what you dream of. A hopeful and melancholic feeling of wanting something so huge and at the same time not being there yet”. Influenced by his own 8-year journey as an artist, the track describes his strong drive to succeed, “This song is my cry and longing for flight!, I will make this artistry and music career work for me, no matter what”.
Recorded in his home studio in Gotland and Newground Studios in Visby, the artist enlisted the help of various friends with the recording and production of the track, such as Sebastian Brydniak with the drums, Simon Östergren with sound technology, Erik Johansson with the bass, Henrik Thomsson with the electric guitar, his sister, Fanny Princis and Mikaela "Mikayla" Lavergren with the vocal harmonies.
Talking about the recording process, the artist relays a newfound appreciation for the unpredictability of human beings, “Stuff that would never be possible to think of just happens in the moment. Humans, simply, I have learned to love them”.
Princis has been selected twice for P4 Nästa, in 2016 with his debut song, "Life (Just Not Dying)" and in 2020 with his single "What's the hurry?". His debut album, “Jag Duger” was released in 2018.
