Kronisk skeptisk is the second solo studio album by Danish rapper and songwriter Lamin. It was published by Def Jam Recordings under the Universal Music Denmark label on 2 September 2022.
Release and reception
Lamin's sophomore album, Kronisk skeptisk (lit. 'Chronic Skeptic'), was released on 2 September 2022[1] and became his first number one album when it appeared on the Hitlisten charts on 14 September.[2] The album contained the songs "Gode dage, gode drinks" and "Hvad skal der ske", both of which went on to receive double-platinum certifications[3][4] and appear inside of the top 10 on the Danish charts.[5] The album received generally positive reviews from critics, who noted the catchy songs[6][2] while others believed it failed to produce anything exciting.[7] The album since has gone on to become Lamin's only quintuple-platinum album,[8] and finished 2022 as the sixth most-streamed album of the year in Denmark on Spotify.[9]
In late September 2022, Lamin received the first major award nomination as he was named as a finalist for DR's P3 Guld awards.[10] He was nominated for the P3 Talent award and, like the other nominees for the award, performed during the event itself.[11] He was named as the winner of the award and the accompanying DKK 100,000 prize.[11][10]
