…is back with his album Guilty Pleasures – let’s listen a bit to Cold Words.
Ok what have you been doing these last months then?
It’s been a lot of work with this album. I had a nice summer vacation – not so
much nice weather but I could relax a little.
Yes but if you need to be indoors to make a record it doesn’t really matter…
D: Yes but it’s a lot of work, really. J: Guilty Pleasures – how should we read
that title? D: You know in a special way this is a sort
of forbidden fruit. Eh… I am actually…eh… shall be a classically
trained vocalist, and somehow this is going out on the ice, on the pop side. But
this is a dream I’ve had since I was little, since I started singing – to make a pop
album, and now I get the opportunity to do it, so in this way it’s sort of my Guilty
Pleasures… J: Ok – and then there are some critics
who don’t like it. What do you think about this?
Actually I take whatever the media write with a pinch of salt: I have done so
since the whole thing started really. Eh…so…
Are they nasty, or are they unreliable or ignorant?
I think they must be allowed to write what they want. They write reviews every
week, and they know what they write about. I won’t sit here and discuss what’s
wrong and what’s right. What matters to me is the feedback I get from my fans and
the people I care about. This (feedback) is good and that’s great, so I’m happy.
You look like a gorgeous and decent guy – what’s the craziest or naughtiest
thing you have done? Hehe… ok now you listen here: I had a
car, a Renault Clio, which a little while ago had to face that the battle was lost and
had to go to the junk heap. So me and three buddies, we went and stripped it of
its spare weight, tore off the exhaust gear and whatever there was, and went
rallye-racing on some fields, something like that, somewhere. I won’t tell where it
was for else I may get some phonecalls from mad farmers. But anyway – we had
an awful lot of fun with that car! J: I can hear there is a report some place...
Who knows – maybe!
I have to ask you on behalf of countless many – are you single?
Hehehe… you know I’ve got this question so incredibly many times… but
somehow I can’t see… I understand why people are wondering but I don’t see the
point with me telling it… I think it’s ok that it is secret….… but eeh… since it’s you, I
I shall say that…. eeehhh……. no I’m not single! J: Thank you so much…
D: Hah – this is the first time I’ve said it on TV.
D: Oh my god! J: …and do you want to tell who this…
No! She must be allowed to be anonymous. I just think this is something I
have chosen to do myself, together with my family, my brother. I don’t feel like
charging any of them with something they haven’t chosen themselves – simply
speaking. So that’s how it is. J: And since you are saying this,
I understand that this must be pretty serious and pretty nice?
Yeees – isn’t it? Yes – fantastic! Didrik – this has been
the time we’ve had on Fredag. I wish you every possible good luck – both with your
album and all the rest you are up to… D: Thank you.
Thank you so much for coming to Fredag.
My pleasure.
