Hannes reunites with Waterbaby on tender new single and video / Wish
The Swedish artist behind Stockholmsvy returns with another heartfelt collaboration, pairing soft vocals and honest visuals.
Swedish singer Hannes is back, and once again he is joined by Waterbaby on his new single Wish. Their last collaboration, I Feel It, gained worldwide attention after appearing in an Ikea campaign, amassing more than 1.5 million views and introducing a global audience to Hannes’ unmistakably soft, caressing vocal tone.
That voice is one of the most unique we’ve heard.
Soulfully gentle yet compelling, it carries a warmth that makes you stop, listen, and feel. In Wish, those qualities are beautifully entwined with Waterbaby’s delicate delivery. Together their voices flow, never overpowering one another, always in harmony.
The video is as striking as the music. Set against the backdrop of a grounded aeroplane outside Stockholm’s Arlanda Airport, it captures Hannes at his authentic best.
As the song unfolds, both artists shuffle and dance with a sincerity that makes you smile. Wish is about wanting to be better, wishing for more, yet it leaves us only wishing to hear more from Hannes.
There is something undeniably rare about him. He stands apart in a world obsessed with perfection by embracing imperfection, and in doing so, he becomes even more captivating. With the enchanting singer Waterbaby beside him, the result is heartfelt, disarming, and profoundly human.
Wish is a reminder that it’s ok to be you. To sing, to speak, to live with honesty. To be filter-free. In a country often associated with polished images, on and off screen, Hannes and Waterbaby offer a refreshingly open, soft and genuine reflection of Sweden the world may not have seen.
Hannes and Waterbaby have crafted a piece that speaks to the heart, leaving us, once again, eagerly anticipating their next artistic journey.
