Niello, the performing identity of Swedish rapper Niklas Grahn, first drew attention in 2013 through the release of his breakout track “Svett.” Drawing the name from an ornamental metal inlay technique, he entered a recording agreement with Warner Music Sweden in 2012 and issued “Legenden,” his strongest commercial single to that point, which featured Phantomen. By June 2013 the song had climbed to number three on the Swedish pop chart, received platinum certification, and elevated his profile considerably. In the opening months of 2014 he disclosed plans for a third single, “Arlanda,” a collaboration with singer Truls. Its buoyant EDM textures helped the track become a major success and introduced listeners to the debut album scheduled for later that same year.
