Kleerup's tracks without guests are the real revelation. ""Thank You for Nothing"" is another standout, with the producer's own wounded vocal repeating within whirring beats

With Every Heartbeat, featuring Robyn, remains a monument of devastation, while ""Longing for Lullabies,"" sung by Titiyo, sends a postcard from the ruins.

Kleerup, the album, is a strange beast. By name it's a dance record, and yet the only dancing to be done would feature a bottle of wine, a lot of tears and perhaps a photo album of a lost love

Ultimately, Kleerup is a perplexing addition to the present popscape: too consistently brokenhearted to be swept up in the wonky pop maelstrom, too uniquely obtuse to sit comfortably with the rest of the year's electronica excellence, and too inconsistent by half. Still, the moments of magic that pepper it make it at the very least good enough to waste some time on; it's not going to make Kleerup a star, but, at his best, he's got twinkle to spare

More than anything, Kleerup works best when he’s paired with a strong vocalist. Though Robyn, Cyndi Lauper, and Lykke Li have proved to be fantastic interpreters of Kleerup’s sound, some of the lesser-known vocalists he brings in wind up nearly stealing the show away from him... it’s obvious that he has the potential to be one of the best dance producers alive: he just has to learn how to grow first
