I totally regret not giving any chance to listen to Erik Hassle’s material. The Swedish singer’s single, Hurtful, is iTunes Free Single of the Week for this week. After listening to the said single, I felt I deprived myself from some very outstanding music. The vocals are clean-cut with nothing fancy in them but they still sound spectacular nevertheless.

The drum-rich arrangement enhances the overall feel of the track. Still, one must not totally forget that it is the vocals which should get the spotlight in this track. As I have said earlier, they are clean-cut. Also, the vocals are outstandingly rich and do not show any signs of imperfection whatsoever.

When all these excellent facets are rolled together, what we get is something magnificent. I am left wondering why most people still do not dig the musicality that this guy has. You are missing a chance to know more about all the spectacular talent that Mr. Hassle has if you have not listened to this track. It is downright magical and simply put, it will not put any ‘hurtful’ circumstances into your senses.
