It takes courage to play country music
The urge to do things his own way doesn’t come out of nowhere for the singer from Funen.
Waylon’s musical legacy was clearly present on Krogen’s 2022 debut album Henover Lakken – a lively, rebellious, and at times tender tribute to everything that makes country music iconic. But the new songs are all about stepping into the genre’s future without losing sight of its past.
Today, country music makes space for pop, rap, and hip hop – and Krogen is determined to wrest it free from the grip of kitschy “dansktop” comparisons and the snobbery of purist gatekeepers.
And it’s hard to argue with him.
