Schütz has released five solo albums as a singer and performer , starting with '' Passion '' in May 2004 , with jazz and bossanova influenced pop . The second release '' Blissa Nova '' from November 2007 has a more contemporary and authentic Brazilian sound and was well received by the Swedish press and saw Schütz invited to do his first Japan tour . On his third album '' C'est La Vie '' he sang in Swedish for the first time , however the international edition included 5 songs translated into English . In 2010 Schütz started writing songs for a fourth album and announced it would be released under the pseudonym '' Peacebird '' , and released two charity singles during the spring , '' Peace ! ( Give the People the Power Back ) '' supporting the demonstrations for democracy in Northern Africa , and '' Hold On Now '' following the March 11 Japan earthquake and tsunami . The '' Peacebird '' album , released on October 5 , 2011 , was more contemporary as Schütz was experimenting with drum loops , while still being heavily influenced by Brazilian and Cuban music phrasing and syncopation . '' Slow Down '' , the first song on the album , was the most played song by a foreign artist on Japanese radio in October 2011
