Merging the freedom of jazz with the contemporary sounds of hip-hop and soul, Pink Butter is a Swedish collective of four musicians—guitarist Oskar Bettinsoli, keyboardist Björn Lehnert, bassist Malte Bergman, and drummer John Bjurström. Built on a foundation of spontaneous creativity, where live performance and raw energy take centre stage, they are set to release their debut EP ‘Can We Go Back’ on 1st August 2025, via DeepMatter Records.
Featuring collaborations with groundbreaking artists such as T3 of Slum Village and Jermaine Holmes (D'Angelo), it weaves together a collage of each member’s musical history, blending their individual influences into a bold collective vision. Their music is a testament to the idea that the power of spontaneous, live creation is timeless—whether in a jazz jam session or a contemporary hip-hop track.
They expand: “We made our songs by simply playing together live in the studio, giving as much of ourselves as possible to the music,” the band explains. “In an age where digital perfection is easy to achieve, we chose to embrace the human side of music. It’s about capturing the raw energy of the moment—just like the jazz records we love—but infused with the modern collaboration and vibe of today’s hip-hop and soul. It’s a balance between the timelessness of improvisation and the innovation of contemporary music.”
