Ulrich Jannert's 'Wander Still' maps the heart’s most human terrain

Some albums feel like destinations. While 'Wander Still' feels like the journey itself; the slow, steady kind that changes you without your noticing, until one morning you look in the mirror and realise you’ve stepped into a version of yourself you’ve been inching toward for years.

Across eighteen tracks, Swedish artist Ulrich Jannert crafts a world that moves with the cadence of deep breaths and long conversations with your own reflection. His palette of soul-infused warmth, drifting folk-rock, and subtle country hues never clamours for attention. Instead, it glows from within, inviting us closer with melodies that unfurl gently and lyricism that feels lived rather than written.

What gives the record its staying power is the way it handles transformation as a series of tiny, shifting realisations. Jannert leans into imagery of wandering as the act of becoming. His voice carries that insight with a grounded tenderness, the kind that makes even the simplest lines feel quietly revelatory.

Songs throughout the album feel shaped by slow mornings, miles walked alone, and moments where the truth finally catches up with you. They’re built for the days when you’re not sure whether to double back, forge ahead, or redraw the entire route. And somehow, without pressure or urgency, he gives us permission to pause long enough to hear what your own compass is whispering.

Ulrich Jannert has made a record for the seekers. For the ones learning that forward motion is sometimes as subtle as a shift in perspective, a quiet decision, or a steadying breath.

And in that stillness, 'Wander Still' becomes both something you hear, and something you carry with you.
