True-blue pop stars still roam the earth. This year’s prototype of a team spirit -igniting endangered species is named Asbjørn. Asbjørn grew up in Denmark, lives and works in Berlin, and, as a freshly-appointed member of the ever-consequential Sinnbus squad, occupies himself with blending the core ingredients of pop anew and according to his own discerning taste. Talent—check. Catchiness—check. Sex appeal—check. His idols, Madonna and Beyoncé, better watch out: Asbjørn navigates far beyond and below pastel-colored surfaces. In his own words: “I want to help the boys and girls who, like me, have trouble relating to the mainstream’s depiction of what men and women are and should be.” Let the video for “The Love You Have in You” function as a beautifully cathartic session of Asbjørnic therapy.
