At just 25, Felix Sandman, a Swedish multi-talent, has established himself as a seasoned figure in both music and acting. Rising to fame with roles in Netflix's "Quicksand" and "Home for Christmas," despite a four-year music hiatus, he maintains a strong presence averaging 400,000 monthly Spotify listeners. Now, poised for a musical comeback, Sandman prepares to unveil a fresh EP this spring, embodying growth and newfound creative autonomy. His journey began at 14 with the boy band FO&O before venturing into a solo career. Despite early success with hits like "Emotions," fame led to burnout, prompting a period of self-reflection. Rejecting compromise, Sandman now charts his own path, exploring new genres with producer David Husberg. Tracks like "Luna's Interlude" and "Terminal" delve into themes of light and darkness, while "Babymoma" reflects on family and relationships. With his EP on the horizon, Felix Sandman embarks on a bold new chapter, poised to captivate audiences with his evocative storytelling and genre-defying soundscapes. At just 25 years old, Swedish multi-talent Felix Sandman has already solidified his status as a veteran in the music industry, establishing himself as both a prominent artist and actor on the global stage. Sandman's acting career took off in 2019 with his debut in the popular Netflix series "Quicksand," swiftly followed by another notable role in "Home for Christmas." Despite a hiatus from music over the past four years, his presence remains strong, boasting an impressive average of 400,000 monthly listeners on Spotify. After a period of introspection to refine his artistic direction, Felix is poised to unveil the culmination of his creative journey thus far. This spring, Sandman is set to release a new EP, heralding a fresh sonic identity that reflects his growth and newfound artistic autonomy. "I don’t view it as a comeback; it feels more like an introduction of an entirely new artist project. With a new support team in place and a newfound control of my creative destiny, compromise is no longer on the table," says Felix. Sandman's musical odyssey began through dance at the young age of 14 when he was handpicked from his dance class to audition for the promising boy band, FO&O. The group skyrocketed to international fame, enjoying a successful four-year run before Sandman made the leap to pursue a solo career. His debut album, "Emotions," featuring chart-toppers like "Every Single Day," "Lovisa," and "Imprint," marked the initial step towards defining his musical identity. The album garnered widespread acclaim in Sweden, earning Sandman several prestigious awards, including the coveted Best Swedish Act at the MTV Europe Music Awards. However, the relentless demands of fame took their toll, leading Felix to confront burnout after a decade in the industry. Secluding himself from the spotlight, his sole focus became self-recovery, with doubts looming over his musical future. Following this hiatus, Sandman resolved that any return to music would be marked by unfiltered honesty and complete control over his creative vision. This newfound clarity prompted Felix to part ways with his former record label and collaborate with producer David Husberg, embarking on a journey of musical exploration unrestrained by convention. Delving into genres like hip hop, R'n'B, and alternative music, Sandman penned introspective lyrics, offering a deeper emotional resonance to his compositions. The year's introductory release, "Luna's Interlude," sets the tone for this transformative phase. Despite its melancholic undertones, the track resonates with hope, symbolized by the moon guiding Felix through his personal crossroads. Stripped down to a minimalist arrangement, the song showcases Sandman's emotive storytelling and vocal prowess in a new light. Continuing the thematic exploration, "Terminal," the subsequent single, delves into the interplay between light and darkness, reflecting on the pressures of societal expectations and personal introspection. Introducing elements of rap, Felix navigates through a landscape of anxiety and uncertainty, aided by a collaborative effort with the songwriting collective Klover. A standout track and one of Felix’s personal favorites, "Babymoma," pays homage to Sandman's familial ties while contemplating the complexities of relationships and parenthood. Infused with upbeat melodies and rap influences, the song draws inspiration from the character Yue from the anime "Avatar: The Last Airbender," intertwining themes of sacrifice and resilience. With "Luna's Interlude" slated for a mid-March release, followed by his debut EP later in the year, Felix Sandman embarks on a bold new chapter, poised to captivate audiences with his evocative storytelling and genre-defying soundscapes.

Lyrics
Carry us, this is all we got
Carry us, this is all we got
Right from the start I knew that I would get lost
Turned a blind eye, you were there for me, cared for me
This time, I need your light
Been a low tide, lately, feeling like I’m empty
When I see how I’ve been stretching out to make things
There’s a part in me that’s been wanting me to end it
But I’m holding on
(Alone with my thoughts, can you set me free)
I feel like nowhere to go now
I took a pill, got my soul flushed
(It’s all that I’ve done, I die for relief)
I lost my legs, I can’t walk now
Head to the ground, hands to the sky
Carry us, this is all we got
Carry us, this is all we got
Carry us, this is all we got
Carry us, this is all we got
Free my minds, picking sides
Leading different lives
See the signs, push it down
Dressing tears with ice
This time, this time, this time, this time
Ooo I’m fading away
I’m fading away
Ooo I’m fading away
I’m fading away
Carry us, this is all we got
Carry us, this is all we got
Carry us, this is all we got
Carry us, this is all we got

Lyrics
Check it, I’m checkin it twice
I go too deep in the strife
Remi been rolling the dice
(Hurt my) wrist in a fight, need me some ice
Duck n some rice
(It’s like you can’t side)
I’ll call you up when I see you
Don’t give a fuck bout the prequel
Feel like I can’t when you see thru
4:25 and I’m going
Baby mama
Why they always leave you
They see you’re grace
Using your place
But you’ll be okay
Preach it loud
Mamama, mamama
Too many lights, too many nights like these
I don’t wanna fight, got too much love in my (ooo)
Can’t let it grow either, text like a reaper
I could be thru but I won’t let go
Yeah that’s right, tryna cut me
Like a scythe, when you can’t move
Start to fire, it’s a lie
You will never be satisfied
All good, all good back then
Darling mama
I don’t wanna leave you
It’s just a phase
Finding my way
You’ll be ok
Preach it loud
Mamama, mamama, mama
Ugh, feelings they comes and they goes, right?
I thought our bond was much stronger
You started tripping on fake shows
I’m losing sleep, grab what you need
Words cut too deep, fall on my knees
Fall on my knees, I can’t please you
I can’t please you, but I’m dying
I’m dying to see you
(And then he kills the moon spirit, you know that white fish, it’s one half of Yin and Yang, and he destroys it and the sky
turns very dark. And you know she, she had been touched by the moon, the moon saved her life when she was born.
And it was so sad you know but also so beautiful, when she sacrificed herself to restore the balance. She became the
moon)

Lyrics
(One light shines over many lives dear. We need to make sure that when we spread
that light, we shine in the most positive way that we can)
Moonlight, my better side
No grip, I’m reaching out
The past is the present now
My future, I’m pouring it out
Vices have taken its toll
Forgot things I used to know
Prescription for any drug
I might just die all alone
I talk to myself sometimes
Saying things I’d never say to a friend
I think of myself sometimes
Thoughts I’d never think if I was
Thinking about you
Thinking about you
Thinking about you
(I think I need to get back up into the night sky)
Permission to fuck things up
Addiction to pills and such
Karlos you’re breaking up
But I lost you a long time ago
I talk to myself sometimes
Saying words I’d never say to a friend
I think of myself sometimes
Thoughts I’d never think if I was
Thinking about you
Thinking about you
Thinking about you

Lyrics
The space is running out
This pain feels terminal
I’m too far, growing numb
See it the way it was
(Thought you cashed out
Didn’t go your way so you lashed out
Did you know about the things that you let die?
Parted ways but will never let you sleep tight, yeah)
My momma stressin, can you make enough to cash out?
That’s her depression, sick of lessons so I lashed out
If I’m not doing it for me then there’s no worth
Might just slip me one these, going head first
Bring it back, losing track, full attack
Give me truce, give me love (yeah)
I caught the trash, cut it out, didn’t even care about it
Nothing gets me moving forward
Lost my sense of living, gotta slow down
Can’t just sit around on a weekday
Can I trust the system when it’s prepaid?
Is there somebody that I could call now?
Insecurities set in control now
20 stacks, they tryna make it easy for me
Money never gave me no hope
Can you catch me if I let go?
The space is running out
(I never thought)
This pain feels terminal
I’m too far growing numb
See it the way it was
And we don’t talk much or nothing,
cause when we do, you use my words as
supplements to strengthen your mood,
it’s overdue that you decide what you feel,
a new motive a new chance at a thrill.
Use something proved to get us over the hill,
I’m sorry I spilled, I can’t contain it all in.
I found myself falling from the stars again
break the fucking ground and then I have try and start again
That shit sways, do it your way
Got me fucked up in a suicide state
Yeah we fucked up, I was finna say
Can not deal with love, just go bill it our way
Shorty don’t believe it
(Must be on that coin tripping)
How can you be low, when everything is gold
Party on the weekends
(Leave me in the dark, never pay me no regards)
I’m spending all my soul, leave me all alone
(Shorty don’t believe it)
With somebody, with somebody
You’re in love with the past of somebody
The space is running out
(and I never thought)
This pain feels terminal
I’m too far growing numb
(Talking bout the way that you gon get it)
(Talking bout the way)
See it the way it was
(You can lead the way and I’ll go with it,
you can lead the way and I’ll go with it)

Lyrics
Girl you always on your phone working
Why don’t you leave it alone
You taking pictures you serving
Them bitches need to take notes
Girl I know I’m stuck inside a pre-roll
While you be doing the most
Soon you’ll be speaking in bankrolls
And I’ll be seeking your love
Preaching with the choir on a Sunday
But you won’t market your soul
It’s quite like you like it
Sweet like you like it
I guess you love that
Guess you
Laser eyes, we’re living on the weekends
Speaking in tongues below the belt
Room full of moguls and they squeakin
I think they pay to cut throats
You dragged me here because I need it
But I don’t talk good on drugs
Easy to follow when you’re leading
I guess I can’t let you go
Cuz I’ve been, been searching for you my dearest dearest while you
I’ve been, been searching for you now, you now
Cuz I’ve been, been searching for you my dearest dearest while you
I’ve been, been searching for you now, you now
Ohh what it’s like
It’s like I want a reason
Use your time, use it wise, keep it light
You got me like, love me like that
Ohh what it’s like
It’s like I want a reason
Use your time, use it wise, keep it light
You got me like, love me like that

Lyrics
Conversations got me loopy
What you said was fucking stupid
Opposite of premeditated, murder me with your lucid dreams like you are a Cupid
Like I’d put you in a smoothie
When they see me pull up Michael Scotty
Man these bars are way to gloomy
Put it on my slide
What’s on my mind slide
Surfing the waves floatin
Need to get paid shortly
If I survive, would you be mine
Im blowing trees, til I get fined
She like to party, F1 Ferrari
I love how they soaring
Lucy, Lucy, Lucy in the sky
Give me the light, 10 grand a flight
Seat with a sight, bet you don’t know
What’s in my safe, my money slow
Running on kief bruh leave me alone
Need your own stake?, tip on my toes like
You said I’m always out of line
What is your type, what is your type
If I OD, broke down and died
Wouldn’t you cry, wouldn’t you cry?
It’s super late
Feel the pain inside my stomach
Could you supplicate
When I’m down to deep I always seem to duplicate
I know told you to come over but it’s all good
I’m laying here in my bed with some tunes
“Sometimes all I think about is a pretty sky
With a shining, shining sun,
Sometimes all I think about is a pretty sky
With a shining, shining sun”
You said I’m always out of line
What is your type, what is your type
If I OD, broke down and died
Wouldn’t you cry, wouldn’t you cry?

Lyrics
Can’t sleep without you by my side
You are so divine
Can’t see
(I can’t see)
What you see in me
(But you see me)
The apple of my eye
Pull the string they hangin loose
She brought a torch to the coupe
Rocky beach, rocky the suit
Sandy shovel for the loot
I’m switching socks, got some new sheets
8 am might be the balance I’m using
Slope with some trails I’ve been lately abusing
Now trailing my girl along with the music
Cleaning I’m cleaning I’m cleaning
I’m dodging calls for new reasons
I’m playing god with the demons
Titanium tooth, I’m the steeler
Running I’m running running running
Need me a car, that’s a tank
Can’t bring that shit to Europe, need curves on the flank
That’s some regulation, I’m not high its a drank
My feelings are toasted, I’m billing the shrank
Propose to my girl if we ever go on vacation, if I ever efford that kind of vacation
Get me the house in Yamagata
She treating heat with a nakisawa
Sad soul, Nakisawame
Moving life to a better part yeah
It's the feeling I’m feeling
I can’t go I can’t go
With a Kangol, these boys wanna go loco
It’s a world war
Bring back the Beatles, that’s a peace code
Got too many ties, I travel light
Got too many pins, on this kavaj
They losing their years, digitalized
If I’m losing sleep, they sympathize
Bunny shoe stepper
She want me to pet her
A chrome hearted mami
Got florentine leather
My French getting better
Now these gloves Margiela
I’m wiping your tears
Still you call me crazy, I can’t
I can’t do this shit any different, I can’t
Get me the house in Yamagata
She treating heat with a nakisawa
Sad soul, Nakisawame
Moving life to a better part yeah

Lyrics
Summer, really get us
Thinking too much
And the feeling
And you moving around like
It’s like you move twice
Can’t catch you like price
Can’t fall from this height
Puffs on that weed
Moving like Mike
It’s 5:50, phone with me
You wanna stay, I wanna go
I’m in LA, you in New York
Never wished to be alone
But it’s like you live for me sometimes
Summer, really get us
Thinking too much
And the feeling
And you moving around like
Summer, really get us
Thinking too much
And the feeling
And you moving around like
It’s like you been forever this way
You catch the light, you’re on display
Times we just walk thru, you stray from the truth
Ask me again and I ain’t got no clue
Familiar tires, folded on bikes
Yeah yeah
Handle the rise, handle the rise
Summer, really get us
Thinking too much
And the feeling
And you moving around like
Summer, really get us
Thinking too much
And the feeling
And you moving around
Pretty, I would never leave you
Love is like a flower
We could take a walk, know you love a sunny day
I wanna say I’m sorry
For what you deal with daily
Show me how to change, give me time to
Pretty, I would never leave you
Love is like a flower
Pretty, I would never leave you
Love is like a flower
Pretty, I would never leave you
Love is like a flower
Pretty, I would never leave you
Love is like a flower
Pretty, I would never leave you
Love is like a flower
Pretty, I would never leave you
Love is like a flower

Lyrics
Milkshakes in the morning
Sugar kicked me in the face when you said hello
Memories are fading
The grass is green and warm as it
Takes me home to you, baby
Is this how you like to be with me?
Wouldn’t mind if we hit casually
And though my eyes are red
I see you so clearly, look too intrigued
You got love to receive but it’s slight
I’ve been all up in my feelings I just had to get away
I’m faded, you tie my laces, I’m asking you to stay
Girl, we got sticks and lots of whip I think we’ll be okay
Craving sweet, need no sleep
Milkshakes in the morning
Sugar kicked me in the face when you said hello
Memories are fading
The grass is green and warm as it
Takes me home to you
Milkshakes in the morning
Sugar kicked me in the face when you said hello
Memories are fading
The grass is green and warm as it
Takes me home to you, baby
Catch me flying, no I do no mileage
Fill the silence, print you onto my lens
Too on time for the loot, that’s a love sign
Keep my mind in a loop til I come down
I’ve been all up in my feelings I just had to get away
We pretty, I don’t get jaded, you’re asking me to stay
Girl, we got sticks and lots of whip I think we’ll be okay
Craving sweet, need no sleep
Milkshakes in the morning
Sugar kicked me in the face when you said hello
Memories are fading
The grass is green and warm as it
Takes me home to you
Milkshakes in the morning
Sugar kicked me in the face when you said hello
Memories are fading
The grass is green and warm as it

Lyrics
I think about you
Like to think you thinking bout me too
Reflections of the walls, we cautious about every move
You hit me so good
Won’t make it fall thru
I get you, I get you, you treat me like I’m in for a ride
I just can’t complain
Would you believe we’re the same?
Acting like I’m in love, in love, in love, in love
But you just talking bout me, ooo
Breaking into pieces
You said that I don’t wanna be there
My eyes keep running
You so pretty, that’s what summers do
I’d rather fall apart than watch you from across the room
If we pay our dues
Don’t let this fall thru
No goalie, patrol me, I’m roaming like I’m lost in the sky
I just can’t come down
Spark in your eyes, reel me in
Would you say you’re in love, in love, in love, in love
But you just talking bout me, ooo
Breaking into pieces
You said that I don’t wanna be there
(I’ve been in love)
(I’ve been in love)
(Baby, you have my heart
I’m yours til death pulls us apart
My love, my love)
My love, you have my heart
I’m yours til death pulls us apart

Lyrics
Put it on myself, I put on myself, I need you
I see you, I see thru, I see you
Feels like I’ve been to the future like,
Future like it’s real
It’s like this life is real, emotions to surreal
It’s like, real, it’s like
Duffels duffles, Got money cut in
Call me call me, I’m only selfless
I feel it rising, up on the surface
If this is nothing, why’s it hurting?
I’m in my pocket now watchu work with?
Raise up your hands (raise up your hands)
Carry me forward (carry me forward)
(Is this my purpose? Cus I feel worthless.)
All that I planned (all that I planned)
Wish it was worth more (wish it was worth)
Wish I could fight demons
Wish I could find reason
Wish I could be clear
A behemoth in me, stealing
Like to be real but
That was not real of me when
You were out there running alley-oops and sending through to me
And that shit should work for me
My mind got some baggage it hurts to me
Might need my poison to stay up
You could be mine won’t you lay up?
Divine, throw a call, half court
Bend that bitch til’ I score
Counters equipped with motors,
Everything’s like mmmmm v8
Count my sh don’t be late mmmmm
Need more space and room
I’ll take a half, expressing my top
Stay up, stay up, stay up, stay up, stay up
If you gone wait up, wait up, wait up, wait now
