In 2014 the Swedish TV-show Idol where Darin had his breakthrough ten years earlier celebrated him
by giving one of the finales a Darin theme, where the contestants got to sing his songs picked by
himself. During the fall he also started writing new songs in Swedish for the first time. He got inspired by
recording a tribute song to Ted Grdestad in the Atlantis-studio in Stockholm, where ABBA also
recorded most of their albums and he wanted to record the same way they did. In March 2015 Darin
released his first single Ta mig tillbaka from his upcoming Swedish album Fjrilar i Magen. It was the
first time he recorded a song with only acoustic instruments, which gave the production a different
sound to what he had before. The lyrics was an autobiographical story about his childhood and growing
up in the 90s. The single went 4x platinum and was the most streamed song in Swedish that year. The
album Fjrilar i Magen was released in September by Darins own record company Dex Music and
became his sixth number one album in Sweden.
In 2015 Darin was signed by Sony Music for all the Asian countries, including the Middle-East for his
previous English album Exit. While both the albums are being promoted at the moment Darin is
touring in the Nordic countries, on a sold out concert hall tour.
