Nicolai Dunger is a man who likes all kinds of music. He has already released a shitload of albums that range from cut-and-paste songs to jazzy ditties. On “Play” however he shows once again that he is very capable in writing cute pop songs with an alt-country feel.
Opener “Heart And Soul” is an immediate earpleaser and the subsequent duet with The Cardigans’ Nina Persson is one of my favorites on the album. He keeps this kind of quality a constant throughout the entire album, going out with three more solid songs in a row.
With just eight ‘real’ songs, this is kind of a short album though and it lacks one or two truly memorable songs to make a lasting impression. If you’re looking for an entertaining release that’s easy on the ears, go ahead and check it out. If not, you won’t miss it.
Score: 6.5 out of 10
