„Jenseits vom poppigen Mainstream in hektischen Zeiten nimmt Singer/Songwriter
Sven Humm den Zuhörer mit handgemachter Musik mit auf eine Reise in sein Innerstes und weg von all dem Trubel. Einflüsse seiner Musik findet man in Blues und Alternative,
aber auch in der psychedelischen Musik der 1970er.“
„Zack! Sven Humm taucht aus dem Nichts auf und landet mit „Run the Risk of Winning“ einen wahren Volltreffer. […] In Songs wie „Melanie“ oder auch „Enceladus“ sind sowohl Einschläge des psychedelischen Bluessounds der Doors als auch des Alternative Rocks der Red Hot Chili Peppers zu entdecken. Humm schafft es leichtfüßig, die Klänge der gepriesenen 70er in die Jetztzeit zu transferieren: Mit Inbrunst verleiht er emotionalen Gesangslinien seine rauchige Stimme, während er mit flinken Finger anspruchsvolle Themen auf der Gitarre umreißt. Qualitätsproduktion aus Aschaffenburg!“

lyrics
Great White North [Official Lyrics]:
Verse I:
So he left the house, then he took a plane
They said he must been insane.
But he didn't care, it was no mood
planned it for long, and he felt good.
Gone in a flash as he flipped the keys.
Not crying, didn't fall to his knees.
It was more than right, he said to himself,
As he placed the suitcase on the shelf.
His mind was racing, time elapsing
He fell asleep, I forgot to mention.
All his friends saw it coming,
but none of them stopped him from running.
So hours later, as the plane landed,
he didn't feel as if he was stranded.
No, to him it was a relief
He has his own beliefs.
Under pressure no more, his headaches were gone,
Smiling so bright as he sung his song:
Chorus:
„ Canada, I made it, my past was so frustrating,
Now I'm here, everything is fine, I thought I'd lose my mind“.
To summarize who Sven Humm is gets harder day by day. He
surely is a musical microcosm to himself,
expanding consecutively, making it harder to define – as a passionate songwriter,
a soulful guitarist and as a remarkably honest and intense singer.
He is now more than ready to hit the floor and to touch your soul....more
