He released second solo album &#8216;Relations&#8217; in 2016 through Danish label, Billy B Records, and the new single from that album, &#8216;Reckless&#8217;, is a romantic pop song, which dares the object of his affections to be reckless &#8211; &#8220;I&#8217;m all in, I&#8217;m all for you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In an interview with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mindfuck-society.de\/2015\/05\/20\/interview-laust-sonne-april-2015\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MindFuck Society<\/a>, Sonne describes his music as &#8220;Modern Pop w Heart&#8221;, and we agree, with &#8216;Reckless&#8217; having a the sort of sound that would equally find its place on the dancefloor as in Eurovision.

The focus is clearly all on Laust, and quite rightly so.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There&#8217;s a touch of the home-made to the video, with a feel like it&#8217;s been shot on a super-8 camera, with subdued colouring and creative jump shots.
