Peter Sommer - now with anger and bitterness

One of the biggest winners at Danish Music Awards 2009 was singer-songwriter Peter Sommer who could take home no less than three awards for Best Danish Male Artist, Best Danish Songwriter and Best Danish Rock Release. 

Peter Sommer has recently released the album "Til Rotterne, Til Kragerne, Til Hundene" which showed a bit of a transformation from a soft troubadour towards a more dark and angry rock-musician. On the record he puts on a more serious face which suits him well. 

I haven´t been the biggest fan of Peter Sommer because to me the music tended to lack some deeper layers and more fierce lyrics even though that he is a skilled master of playing with words. But now he finally seems to capture my interest with a more mellow and bitter attitude. 

The song "Rødt Kort" is obviously the one with the most hit- potential, and I like the direct and confronting lyrics about pulling your self together. Peter Sommer´s lyrics hits you with the tough truth right in the face without any self-pity, and his confident and laid-back voice has an authority about it that makes me want to listen. 

Here is the song "Rødt Kort" made as a short film by Casper Dalhoff, who follows Peter Sommer in the studio.
