Erik Hassle wants Robyn collaboration

Newcomer Erik Hassle has revealed that he is eager to secure a collaboration with fellow Swedish singer Robyn.

The 20-year-old, who releases debut single 'Don't Bring Flowers' today, praised the 'With Every Heartbeat' star for enjoying a lengthy career in the music industry.

"I really love Robyn. She's a really respected artist in Sweden because she's stayed in the industry for such a long time," he told DS.

"She released her first single when she was about 14 and it was a real smash. Now she's still probably the artist that most people look up to. It would be a real honour to work with her sometime."

Hassle, who recently moved to London to start promotional work for his upcoming album, admitted that he has enjoyed discovering new British acts since coming here.

"I'm a really big fan of Marina And The Diamonds. I think she's great! I really like White Lies too - I hadn't heard much about them in Sweden but I saw them at a festival recently and thought they were really good," he said.

"I'm still getting to grips with a lot of the new music here, but I really like what I've heard so far."
