Erik Hassle (born 26 August 1988 in Katrineholm, Sweden) is a Swedish pop singer-songwriter. Hassle was raised in a rural village two hours south of Stockholm and originally aspired to be a professional footballer. He grew up listening to soul music and realised his love of music early after listening to Wilson Pickett. He attended Rytmus, a musical secondary school in Stockholm where famous Swedish singer Robyn trained. He signed a deal with the Swedish music company TEN Music Group. Through TEN Erik signed to Roxy Recordings for Sweden, Island Records for Europe and Universal Republic for North America. Hassle released his first single, “Hurtful” in September 2008. It went to reach #11 in his native Sweden and peaked at #2 in Denmark. He later released his second single “Don’t Bring Flowers” which peaked at #25 in Sweden, and his album Hassle which debuted at #2 and stayed in the Swedish charts for 10 weeks. Wikipedia®.
Erik Hassle – Innocence Lost feat. Tinashe
Erik Hassle has been one of the standout vocalists of 2014 so far, after releasing his impressive Somebody’s Party EP several weeks ago. Today he returns to the recent project to partner a visual with “Innocence Lost,” which is his mellow collaboration with another much-talked about singer, Tinashe.
Erik Hassle – Innocence Lost feat. Tinashe Lyrics:
[Verse 1:Erik]
Streets on fire
Been up for days
Under her spell
She takes me higher
Than anything, I’ve ever been
[Pre-hook]
Yeah, all this shit can change (always)
All this shit can change
She’s my one desire
Stronger than anything, I’ve ever felt
[Hook: Erik]
When she touch on me and makes me dumb dumb dumb
And when I don’t need all her loving, she punish me
Then she’s all gone
When she touch on me and makes me dumb dumb dumb
And when I don’t need all her loving
Yeah, she’s all gone
[Verse 2: Tinashe]
Melting pavements
She looks at me, fevered dream
You can’t save me
She’s everything, my concrete queen
[Pre-hook: Tinashe]
Ooh, all this shit you can change (always)
All this shit you can change
She takes me higher
Than anything, I’ve ever been
[Hook: Both]
When she touch on me and makes me dumb dumb dumb
And when I don’t need all her loving, she punish me
Then she’s all gone
When she touch on me and makes me dumb dumb dumb
And when I don’t need all her loving
Yeah, she’s all gone
[Bridge: Both]
You so high deep in secrets
I wear your crown of thorns
With the thickets
All your promises
You took my innocence
I can’t go back again
You made me a believer
I wear your crown of thorns cause you
[Hook: Both]
Touched on me and makes me dumb dumb dumb
And when I don’t need all her loving, she punish me
Then she’s all gone
When she touch on me and makes me dumb dumb dumb
And when I don’t need all her loving
Yeah, she’s all gone.
