Jag fortsätter glömma (Swedish for I continue to forget) is the first solo album by Joakim Berg.[6] It was released on 27 May 2022.[7] It debuted atop the Swedish albums chart on 3 June 2022.
Background
On 12 May 2022, Berg announced his first solo album Jag fortsätter glömma.[8] He said the idea took off in 2019: "September 2019. It all started very simply. I was a little less tired of myself than usual and had a song idea where there was a little spark of magic.
I wrote lyrics with the intention of singing it myself for the first time in years. I wrote, recorded, played all instruments, sang and produced it in two days. This is the beginning of my own album. As I in my foolishness promised dearly and sacrosanctly to never do. I decided to finish five songs without talking about it or letting anyone else listen. Mostly to get into the flow and avoid reacting to comments from outside. Nothing ever goes as planned, and this collection of songs is no exception. They do not sound like what I imagined when I started. But I have really tried to let the notes and lyrics take the paths they wanted without involving the brain in processes it has nothing to do with. So the 11 songs that made it to the album are simply the ones that hit me hardest. It is just to humbly capitulate to the fact. This is surely what I like. Today. Hope you like it too."[9]
