Jakob Hellman is a Swedish singer/songwriter whose sole full album release … och stora havet is often considered among the best records ever made in Sweden.
Jakob Hellman, born October 20, 1965 in Vuollerim, Norrbotten, is a Swedish pop singer. Although his only album to date was released in 1989, he is still well-known in his native country.
Jakob Hellman grew up in rural north Sweden, just south of the polar circle. Without previous experience in the music business (except for playing Chicago covers with bands in Vuollerim and Falun), he sent his demo to ten different record companies, and, much to his own surprise, soon had a record contract in his hand.
The first single, Tåg (Train) was released in 1988, and the same year he won a Swedish Grammy as Best Newcomer. The album followed in February 1989. Although Hellman himself wanted to name it De sista melodierna (The Last Melodies) it instead borrowed its title from one of the non-single songs, …Och stora havet (…And the great sea).
At the time of its release, Hellman’s album got positive, although not jubilant, reviews, and the single Vara vänner (Be Friends) became a major hit. Most of the album’s songs can be described as quite radio-friendly guitar-based music in the singer-songwriter vein, although Hellman’s syncopated singing style set him apart from most of the competition.

(Jag tar upp uppföljarediskussionen som är några inlägg längre ned) han skulle kunnat göra en uppföljare ett par år efter stora havet, men nu skulle den bli hatad om den kom.
