David Bowie - Sverige

Review by Jay Greathouse

Sverige is a unique and experimental album by the legendary David Bowie. Released in 1996, the album showcases Bowie's versatility as an artist, blending elements of electronic, rock, and pop music. The album was recorded in Stockholm, Sweden, and features collaborations with Swedish musicians.

The album's opening track, "Vintersol," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its atmospheric and haunting sound. The album also features the hit single "I'm Afraid of Americans," which was later remixed by Nine Inch Nails.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Brilliant Adventure," which features Bowie's signature vocals over a pulsating beat. Another highlight is "The Last Thing You Should Do," which features a guest appearance from Swedish singer and songwriter Elin Sigvardsson.

Summary by Jay Greathouse

Sverige is a bold and experimental album that showcases Bowie's willingness to push musical boundaries. While it may not be as commercially successful as some of his other albums, it remains a favorite among Bowie fans and is a testament to his creative genius.
