Boy In Space (Robin Lundbäck) will close out an uber-successful 2019 with a massive new single, “On A Prayer,” featuring fellow Swedish artist SHY Martin.
On A Prayer” takes the singers innate talent for sincere songwriting and raw delivery to the next level as the rising artist laments “I’ve been dead for days I just feel like a black hole. Got my head in space I’m alone where should I go? Everything we did is saved in a box full of Polaroids, and when I drink I don’t think so I call just to say hello.”
Before being reworked into a hard-hitting pop song, the new single started as a country song. “We were playing around with some very twangy chords and lyrics, just joking around really, and it was one of those moments where a joke turns into something kind of interesting,” he recalls of writing the track with SHY Martin.
“Once we looked at the song with a pop lens, the chorus felt very big and it was clear it needed to be a duet. I’ve been a fan of SHY Martin for a long time and could imagine her vocals on the track while we were still writing it. I’ve been such a big fan of SHY since ‘The Ocean’ came out, and I am so glad she said yes to singing on the song!”- Boy in Space talking about the song becoming a duet.
This latest release is one in a series of spellbinding biographical gems that highlight the rising singer-songwriter’s personal and intimate life experiences. Boy In Space to over 17 million streams on Spotify alone.
