Info zu Reaching For The Sky (EP)

Carl Bagge’s new single, “Reaching For The Sky,” starts a new and very personal chapter in his life. The release marks the start of a carefully planned four-part collaborative project, an artistic suite created with well-known lyricists and singers.

The idea for this lavish musical project came about when singer and composer Stina Agustsdottir unexpectedly sent Bagge lyrics for a song that was related to his first solo album, Runmarö. The creative spark grew into a full vision, inviting other writers into his musical world and turning old songs into new, collaborative works. The project has a lot of depth and variety. It includes Vanna Rosenberg’s reflective writing on “Very Late” and poetry by Swedish author Hjalmar Gullberg, as read by Jennie Abrahamsson.

The first release from the suite, “Reaching For The Sky,” really sets the tone, though. The ballad is a perfect blend of kindred spirits, thanks to his long-time musical partner Isabella Lundgren. The song, which has lyrics by Lundgren and music by Bagge, has a sense of closeness and quiet beauty.

Bagge’s piano is the emotional foundation of the piece, it’s graceful, expansive, and purposeful. Martin Höper’s double bass and Chris Montgomery’s understated drums add depth and natural progression. Lundgren’s warm, otherworldly voice flows through the arrangement with ease, evoking longing, awe, and transcendence. The piece has a lot of life, letting silence speak and giving each note meaning and purpose. Linn Fijal at Riksmixningsverket noted that the production maintains the group’s natural synergy, creating a jazz atmosphere that is both classic and modern.
