Tvillingen is the eighth studio album by Swedish singer/songwriter Darin, released on 24 November 2017 by his own record label Dex Music and distributed by Sony Music. It is the second of Darin's albums to entirely contain Swedish songs, with the first being Fjärilar i magen, which was released on 25 September 2015. Before the release of the album, the single "Ja må du leva" had been certified double platinum in Sweden and the single "Tvillingen" had been certified gold.[1] Subsequently, the album reached number one on the Swedish album chart in the first week following its release and was certified platinum in the end of 2017.[2][3]

Background

The title of the album (in English "Gemini") was chosen with regard to the way that the album reflects Darin's different personalities and since it is his star sign.[4][5][6] After the success of his previous release, Darin was interested in releasing another album with more personal songs and lyrics.[6] He continued with releasing music in Swedish since for him it makes it easier to bring up themes that are important to him and also makes it easier for his audience to understand his work.[5]
