Jens Lekman

Jens Lekman (pronounced "Yenz") is a pop music artist from Gothenburg, Sweden. His songwriting style is characterized by its confessional content and first-person narrative form. His voice is often compared to that of Stephin Merritt, singer of The Magnetic Fields. Although he was very popular in Sweden, critical acclaim for him has yet to translate into commercial success in America.
