About
Acclaimed musician Nils Lassen returns with Fingerprints, the electrifying title track from his upcoming solo album. After two decades of internationally recognized music releases, Lassen delivers a sonic masterpiece that fuses raw emotion with bold production.
Built on a thunderous beat, Fingerprints is a massive soundscape where male and female vocal harmonies weave seamlessly through orchestral swells, grinding guitars, and anthemic energy. The track is designed to feel expansive - big, immersive, and impossible to ignore.
But beyond its towering sound, Fingerprints carries a powerful message. In an era where truth is contested and human values are under pressure, the song stands as a reminder of our shared existence and collective memory. “It’s about the evidence that we were here - leaving our fingerprints on the stairway of time,” Lassen explains. “We must not forget where we’ve been, and we must move forward together.”
Accompanying the single is a music video that brings the song’s themes to life and reinforces the song’s message of unity, resilience, and the lasting impact we leave behind.
Joining Lassen on this commanding track is drummer Tomas Ortved, with deeply moving backing vocals from Anders Wallin and Marianne van Toornburg, elevating the song’s urgent, heartfelt spirit.
Fingerprints is more than just a song - it’s a statement. A call to remember, to stand together, and to move forward with purpose.

The production walks a tightrope between grandeur and restraint. His writing keeps its feet planted firmly in the human condition.
— Mystic Sons
Still rather hazy and expansive, steeped in gorgeous soundscapes and new wave coolness. A newly-found kaleidoscopic flair that enhances the project's overarching identity.
— Mesmerized
The record doesn't grab you - it simply stands at the far end of the corridor, hands in pockets, knowing you'll come looking.
