Scared of the Dark

Adam Tensta makes music that doesn’t pretend to have answers. ’Scared of the Dark’ sounds like the kind of track that sits in discomfort instead of trying to escape it—naming something you can’t quite articulate, the particular loneliness of nighttime thoughts. That’s harder to do than it seems. Most people want to fix it or make it beautiful. He just lets it exist.
