Kleerup
Andreas Kleerup, known professionally by his last name, is a Swedish record producer, drummer, and member of the Swedish group The Meat Boys, from Stockholm, Sweden. His first mainstream collaboration was as the producer of fellow Swedish artist Robyn's #1 UK single, "With Every Heartbeat", also included on Kleerup's self titled debut album. He has also collaborated with Cyndi Lauper, Neneh Cherry, Lykke Li and Loreen. In 2009 he won the Swedish Grammis for Newcomer of the Year, Composer of the Year and Producer of the Year.
2010 saw NME name him as one of the 20 hottest producers in music.
His band Me and My Army released their debut album Thank God for Sending Demons in 2011.
Kleerup composed and recorded the music for the interval act at the first semifinal on May 14 of the Eurovision Song Contest 2013 in Malmö, titled "Northern Light".
In September 2014 Kleerup announced the first of two mini LPs- "As If We Never Won"- and shared "Let Me In" featuring Susanne Sundfør. H&M used the track for their Fall Fashion 2014 ad campaign in cinema, TV and online.
Kleerup (album)
Kleerup is the eponymous debut album by Swedish recording artist and producer Kleerup, released in Sweden on 21 May 2008 by Virgin Records. Following the success of his collaboration with fellow Swede Robyn on 2007's "With Every Heartbeat", the album debuted and peaked at number seven on the Swedish Albums Chart. A revised edition of the album was released internationally in mid-2009.
"Thank You for Nothing" is an alternative, almost instrumental version of Cyndi Lauper's song "Lay Me Down", produced and co-written by Kleerup and included on Lauper's 2008 album Bring Ya to the Brink. "Until We Bleed" (which is not House) and "3AM" appeared, in altered forms, as B-sides to singles released by their vocalists (Lykke Li and Marit Bergman respectively).
The song "Chords" was sampled by electronic artist Dark Colour on his debut EP Memories track "I Can Feel You", which resulted in the release being pulled from retailers.

3 A.m. (feat. Marit Bergman)
by: Kleerup3 AM,
honey where´ve you been?
cell turned off I waited here
by the phone again
just like last night
Think I can
sort of understand
what your life´s like
all new friends
all the parties and
how you win them
3 AM, now it´s 3AM
Will not let my sadness show
how the tension grows
miss you so and
I pretend
I can feel your hands
and arms around me
trying to fall asleep again
sleep again it´s 3 AM
3 AM, soon the day will break
your voice so close
your lips are so far away
and our words they
fly around across the ocean and
disappearing somewhere over New Foundland
"Oh I love you"
3 AM, now it´s 3 AM
when will you be back again
and do you think we can
keep our love for ever more?
did we let it go?
Or Is it still beautiful?
Do we care at all?
Lost again at 3 AM
