Kent tigerdrottningen full album


Tigerdrottningen (Swedish for The Tiger Queen) is the eleventh studio album by Swedish alternative rock band Kent. It was released on April 30, 2014 by Sonet Records (Universal Music). The album was preceded by the lead single "La Belle Epoque" on March 12, 2014. "Var är vi nu?" was released as the album's second single on July 24, 2014. The music video was released on May 21, 2014. The third single "Mirage" was released on September 3, 2014, with an accompanying video released on the same date.

Contents

Lyrically, Tigerdrottningen is more politically charged than previous albums. Lead singer Joakim Berg told Gaffa that the album was inspired by the events leading up to the 2014 Swedish election where far-right party Sweden Democrats doubled their support: "Exactly the things you were terrified of happened. The shift towards right [wing politics] followed by nationalism. It is a pattern we are seeing again and again. It also affects the Swedish music scene."
