With his last album The Simple Life (2007), Magnet headed straight to the top on Norway's album chart in its first week and proved once again that he is amongst the finest Norway has to offer. The single You Got Me from The Simple Life became a Top 10 hit - making it Magnets biggest radio-hit ever. Living just outside of in his hometown Bergen, a town he shares with fellow musicians such as Röyksopp, Annie and Sondre Lerche, he recorded The Simple Life in his own studio; a converted barn.
The album has reaped warm reviews commending Even Johansen’s quite unique sense of writing pop songs that oscillate between melancholy and wit, and between distance and utter nearness in ways that seem to cater to so many people’s conceptions of what the soundtrack to what Magnet calls “the sad and beautiful world,” should be like. Magnet is definitely back after the worldwide critical success of former albums On Your Side and Tourniquet.
Winter 2009, Magnet is currently working on his follow up to The Simple Life.
