JÖRGEN HÖGLUND – Leaving It Up To You (Montezuma, 1980)


 Swedish vocals, English vocals
International relevance: -

There's a reason why singer/songwriter jazz rock never became a hot thing: it's such a bad idea. Unfortunately, nobody told Jörgen Höglund, bassist and guitarist of Tequila and later on one album by latin funk band Hot Salsa. ”Leaving It Up To You” is his only solo album, a very sterile effort split between Swedish and English songs. Höglund's characterless voice doesn't help either, sounding a fair bit like irritating singer/songwriter Totte Wallin with a few stylistic features borrowed from Tomas Ledin. The title track was chosen as a single with another album track on the flip.
