Artist announces his highly-anticipated debut album, Neverland, out in June.

Stockholm-based musician Sportsman aka Per Magnusson has unveiled new single Running On A Beach, a first taste of his forthcoming debut album, Neverland.

This fusion of RnB, electronic and wavy synths creates an atmospheric and refreshing pop track. Sportsman‘s vocals balanced with the almost ambient rhythm show restraint in the new song. And is the perfect way to make an entrance after an almost 3 year absence. Seems like he has been waiting for the perfect time to come back into the spotlight, and this track has made the right kind of impression.

Speaking on the new single, Per said:

‘Running On A Beach’ was written in Tanzania. I stayed in a small lodge on the beach. I was high on antimalarials when I woke up in a fever to the sound of a minaret at dawn. I was convinced that the muezzin was singing my song in a sad, auto-tuned way. I smelled weed, like someone was smoking just outside my window. I got up and walked straight out on the postcard-like beach. I took a run in the sunrise, passing drunk fishermen and women spinning seaweed. This song is about these magic hours on the border of dream and reality.

Neverland out June 2nd on Best Fit Recordings.
