Solo (Kaipa album)

Solo is the debut solo album by Swedish progressive rock keyboardist and composer Hans Lundin, released in 1981. While attributed solely to Lundin, it essentially features the entire then-current lineup of his band Kaipa, making it a Kaipa album in all but name.

The album showcases Lundin's keyboard virtuosity and compositional skills, drawing heavily on progressive rock influences. It features complex arrangements, intricate instrumentation, and soaring melodies, characteristic of Kaipa's sound. The tracks are primarily instrumental, with occasional vocal parts performed by Mats Löfgren.

The release of Solo coincided with a period of relative inactivity for Kaipa, allowing Lundin and his bandmates to explore musical ideas outside of the band's established framework. While considered a solo album, its strong connection to the Kaipa sound and personnel makes it a significant part of the band's discography and highly regarded by fans of Swedish progressive rock.
