Johan Orjansson is a star in his hometown Falkenberg on the west coast of Sweden, but only a few aficionados outside that region know his music despite three really good albums released since 2007. His new 4th album entitled Melancholic Melodies for Broken Times showcases Orjansson as the brilliant songwriter he is. But it is his vocals that really make him stand out from the crowds. His voice was always there, but in the last few years he"s developed into a world class singer. American singer/songwriter Israel Nash Gripka delivers background vocals on If I Were To Love You and also invited him to do a major Scandinavian tour in the spring of 2012. Melancholic Melodies for Broken Times contains 11 folk/pop songs.
