 When Eagle-Eye returned to Stockholm in the mid-Nineties he became more focused on music, and started writing what has now become his first album. On the album, Eagle-Eye keeps most of the work within the family. Apart from drawing inspiration from his late father's music, Eagle-Eye has recorded a duet with Titiyo, and recruited brother-in-law Cameron McVey, a.k.a. Booga Bear, (Massive Attack, Neneh Cherry, Tricky) for remixes.
The music that Eagle-Eye makes is very different from what most have come to except, considering the family ties. The central elements are an acoustic guitar, a steady beat and Eagle-Eye's beautiful, laid-back vocals. It is a very personal and very modern take on the blues tradition, and Eagle-Eye carries it on excellently.
