John Lundvik - Psalm.

Facts Recording our most beloved hymns was perhaps not at the top of John Lundvik's list of future plans.
2025 has been, to say the least, an extraordinary year. After a finals spot at Sweden's biggest campfire, Melodifestivalen, with the song “Voice of the Silent,” an EP, a collaboration with producer John De Sohn, his own autumn tour and a sparkling Christmas tour, “A Christmas Night,” together with Magnus Carlsson and Wictoria, one could think the calendar was full.
Then came the question: would one of Sweden's greatest voices breathe new life into our timeless hymns?
The answer was far from certain, and the idea was unexpected. But after a few magical hours in the studio, something took shape: a feeling, a sound, a nerve. A desire to carry forward one of our most cherished cultural heritages: the Swedish hymn.
Together with producer Mats Björke, formerly a member of Mando Diao and the mind behind the rarely seen album success of Mando Diao's “Infruset,” a unique collaboration was created where tradition meets the present. Mats, deeply rooted in the Swedish folk song, and John, with his soulful voice, have shaped a collection of hymns full of familiarity, warmth and new discoveries.
The result is PSALM., an album that breathes warmth and stillness and sets the stage for the special Christmas feeling, where every note carries something greater.
