Following on from their debut album Freedom in 2016, here follows Reasons, Wangel's second full-length. Wangel is a collaboration between Peter Wangel and producer Kasper Ejlerskov Leonhardt. Their music revolves around Peter's characteristic, low voice and Kaspers spherical sound. The album Reasons is a collection of wonderful, emotional and very personal songs. Written and performed by Peter Wangel, the lyrics are inspired by multi-award winning, temporary Norwegian writer Karl Ove Knausgård and deal with very personal subjects from his own life. Wangel explains: "The previous releases were about the 'lonely' feelings; the feelings that only existed in me, the feelings I wanted to set free for a long time. The new album is about my life as it is right now; about all the thoughts, expectations, worries and the happiness that comes with a new life as a family. This is a very personal album, but I also hope to express something very ordinary and something that most people can relate to." Also musically the album is a big step forward for Wangel, the melodies are still subtle, but offer more nuances and colors. Kasper Ejlerskov Leonhardt explains: "We have moved to new places on this album. The song 'Faith' is, for example, something very new to the Wangel universe. It has this dusty vinyl sound and goes in a 6/8 beat. The song 'Emotion Pill' has a hip-hop feel to it and is inspired by the sounds of Rihanna and JAY-Z. When Peter brought the idea to the table, I was overjoyed. I have always wanted to do a Wangel song with this type of beat."
