Olsson is a Swedish Grammy Award winning artist, songwriter and producer. Tropical Cologne is his latest album, written and recorded in three cities – Berlin, Stockholm and Bordeaux. Tropical Cologne is a slinky romantic R&B album, a tribute to classic artists such as Marvin Gaye, SADE, Bryan Ferry and the Beach Boys. The album effortlessly spans topics such as fear of turning blasé, escapism, new romance, failed holidays, fake living and finding mad love. All wrapped up in summer vibes.
The mission was to create a visual manifestation for the artist and his album, with a strong emotional resonance, that translates the artist’s highly individual mixture of social realism, naked vulnerability and transparency into strong and unique images and design.
