素有"妖男"之称的Jay-Jay Johanson,再度施展其妖功,距离上张2007年的The Long Term Physical Effects Are Not Yet Known约有一年半的时间.一看到这个妖娆无比的封皮多半就猜到是他了,感叹下他胡子长的够快的.虽然这么说,这个才华漫天烂漫飞的瑞典唱作人的音乐魅力还是无法抵挡的.阴柔的声线若即若离的缠绕在简单的音符和钢琴声里,他音乐之中的古灵精怪,从骨子里透出的一股忧伤气质,令人舒服的节奏之中不断变换着旋律，让音乐呈现出了一份华丽的美感. 　　这是一张安静的专集,适合作为实验性电影配乐了.如果说上张Trip Hop与合成器的旋律运用的过于忧伤,那么这张会令你感到无比的清幽. 我是很喜欢让我有画面感的音乐的, Jay-Jay Johanson一直具备这种能力. 听他的音乐不会一下子进入状态,但如果你坚持,几分钟就够了。 　　Having finished “The Long Term Tour”, Jay-Jay started working on the next album. Probably, he was much inspired by his child's birth... “Self-Portrait” contains as much Jay-Jay’s personal feelings as possible for an artists revealing his soul to the audience. The album promises to surprise even the most devoted fans. This work is a compilation of all experience Jay-Jay has obtained over these years. It is a musical biography of the vulnerable, unconventional man who brought romance and decadence back to music
