Green & Granstrom bring a Scandinavian songwriting connection to an English-language pop-rock audience with Only Summer, a collaboration built around melody, warm vocals and a distinctly nostalgic feeling.
The track began with Swedish singer-songwriter Lars Brundin and Herbert Tinz, who originally released Alltid sommar (där hon går). Jimmy Granstrom and Robert Gould later created brand-new English lyrics, giving the composition a different perspective while retaining its musical foundation.
Leyton Green handles the vocals, continuing his creative partnership with Jimmy Granstrom after their previous collaboration Stranger With My Face. His clear delivery fits the song’s relaxed, melodic character and keeps the focus on the songwriting.
Brundin brings an established background to the project. His music has received regular airplay on P4 Malmöhus, while his debut album Hotel Royal received a strong review from Swedish newspaper Expressen.
The result is a straightforward pop-rock song with an international identity. Its summer theme carries a natural sense of nostalgia, focusing on those temporary moments that become memories once the season ends.
The collaboration has also received international radio attention, including exposure through SiriusXM’s Nordic Rox, connecting the project with a wider audience interested in Scandinavian music.
For Green & Granstrom, the track demonstrates how a song can move between languages and markets while maintaining its original character. It is a melodic, accessible release that connects Swedish songwriting with an English-language audience.
