Week after week, you do new acclaimed versions of other artists' songs in Så mycket bättre. Most of them seem to be hits and played frequently on the radio. Are you becoming beloved by the people?
- I don't know, really. I've missed the first programs since I was in the U.S. but it's fantastic to come home and be met by of all estimate, says Darin and laughs a little embarrassed but obviously a little proud.
How was it to meet other artists and to interpret their music?
- On the whole, it was great fun but also very nervous to make other people's songs and see how they would react. Now it was all very well which was a huge boost.
The interpretations ranged from club dance versions to soulful ballads. How did you think about when you approached your songs and would make them yours
- I decided from the beginning that I would go all the way, really make them with my sound rather than just twist them a little. For example, as Olle Ljungström's "En apa som liknar dig" is a song I liked for years, it is extremely good and that Olle liked my club version which still differs a lot from his, was a huge honor.
- I've been there to write and record my next album coming, in early 2013.
The trip up to the finished album wasn't so straight this time. It is said that you had songs for an entire album ready but you trashed them and started all over again?
- It's actually true. Thing was that it didn't felt like it had reached all the way up and it needs to do, to reach the next level.
- I want to develop as an artist and songwriter but also, of course, want to reach out internationally, and it must be really perfect.
A heavy bunch to say the least.
- Yes, it can be said and hopefully it will be shown when people hear the album. I am at least enormously pleased with the result. That Nadde (Red One-editor's note.) are with (included) are fun, he's been there ever since starting in 2004. We had our first number one hit as a songwriter together, Step Up 2005th. That it has gone so well for him isn't surprising.
All the people that you are working with testifies to your high ambition and call you a perfectionist.
- You could say that. I have extremely high demands on myself. I have been given this chance to do what I love, and then I have to take it. I have to take advantage of it and don't throw it away, it must be 110 percent!
How would you like to describe it in words?
- Maybe a little bit more mature than before, and more varied. Not least are the texts more personal than before.
Working with world famous names, and have a team of people around you. Hand on the heart – how much can you decide yourself?
- Most of it, actually. It has been this way from the beginning. Some don't know that I write music myself even once, which is surprising, I think, but I have essentially the last word in everything from track selection to styling and everything else.
- This is what I have always dreamed of doing, and the ambition is to constantly evolve on all levels as an artist and get better.
Så mycket bättre (so much better)?
- Yes, that's right, ha ha – Så mycket bättre!

Darin dominerar Digilistan: Oerhört roligt att det går bra
– Det är helt sjukt kul. Det är oerhört roligt att det funkat så bra och att människor gillar mina tolkningar. Jag gick in och gjorde min grej av alla låtar. Och gjorde det fullt ut.
Hur har responsen varit?
– Jag har märkt hur stort programmet är. Folk som inte lyssnat på en tidigare har fått upp ögonen.
Är det tanter och farbröder som kommer fram på stan nu?
– Jag har inte varit på stan så mycket. Men jag märker på folk som skriver till mig på nätet att det är en otroligt mycket bredare publik. Kanske folk som inte lyssnat tidigare, som inte haft koll på den musiken jag gjort och vem jag är musikaliskt.
Då kan man räkna med att det här ger ett lyft även framöver?
– Jag hoppas det. Jag håller på att göra klart skivan. I morgon åker jag till London för att spela in sista låten på den. Den släpps ju i januari.
Bra tajming.
– Ja, det var ju bra att inte släppa den samtidigt nu. Så det kanske var bra att den har tagit lite tid.
Till sist, vad önskar du dig mest av allt just nu?
– Att jag får ihop albumet i god tid.
