Introducing, Pink Butter
Listen to the debut single ‘Can We Go Back’ feat. T3 of Slum Village now
We’re extremely excited to welcome Pink Butter to the DeepMatter family — a Swedish collective of four musicians: guitarist Oskar Bettinsoli, keyboardist Björn Lehnert, bassist Malte Bergman, and drummer John Bjurström. Today, we introduce you to them with their debut single, ‘Can We Go Back’, ft T3 of Slum Village.
Lifted from their forthcoming debut EP ‘Can We Go Back’ — the track is deeply influenced by J Dilla and the raw, transportive sound of ’90s hip-hop, and features legendary rapper T-3 (from Slum Village). His signature flow weaves seamlessly through Pink Butter’s improvisational magic, making this track a celebration of both classic hip-hop and live musicianship. Questioning the current state of the world, the track reflects on the feeling of being stuck at a dark station, uncertain whether better days lie ahead or behind. The single’s ethos encourages focusing on the present and cherishing what’s good.
Set to release their debut EP ‘Can We Go Back’ on 1st August 2025, via DeepMatter— the EP features collaborations with groundbreaking artists such as T3 of Slum Village and Jermaine Holmes (D'Angelo), it weaves together a collage of each member’s musical history, blending their individual influences into a bold collective vision. Their music is a testament to the idea that the power of spontaneous, live creation is timeless, whether in a jazz jam session or a contemporary hip-hop track.
They expand: “We made our songs by simply playing together live in the studio, giving as much of ourselves as possible to the music,” the band explains. “In an age where digital perfection is easy to achieve, we chose to embrace the human side of music. It’s about capturing the raw energy of the moment—just like the jazz records we love—but infused with the modern collaboration and vibe of today’s hip-hop and soul. It’s a balance between the timelessness of improvisation and the innovation of contemporary music.”
