Swedish musician Thomas Stenström is releasing new music following a busy year that included an album launch, sold-out concerts, and a Swedish radio appearance. In a recent interview with *Dagens Nyheter*, Stenström discussed his evolving musical style, now described as rawer, and his reflections on class. He expressed a sense of disconnect from those credited with contributing to Sweden’s success, stating others are responsible for the country’s functioning, not himself. The conversation also touched upon a controversial song created for the World Cup. Despite criticism, Stenström confidently predicts the song will ultimately be recognized as good art, asserting that quality work prevails. He appears to have found a sense of peace amidst a hectic professional life.
