Motown Philly's back again, this time in the Swedish hands of Jens Lekman. It's true, the silent one did a cover of Boyz II Men's "Water Runs Dry" a couple nights ago at Google Googie's Lounge as part of his "special guest" role for countrywoman and labelmate Frida Hyvönen . Boys II Men's original showcased their four voices and flowing white l...

Jens Lekman played a few songs ahead of fellow Swede Frida Hyvönen's set Tuesday night at Googie's Lounge in New York, BrooklynVegan reports. As shouldn't be too surprising from a guy who had a roomful of Williamsburgers dancing to Mariah Carey during his CMJ set less than a month ago, one of those songs was a Boyz II Men cover. Lekman...

Well, this is it. For any Jens fan who also reads blogs that post about the Black Cab Sessions, getting Jens to croon this tune for the series was always to be the apex of punny possibilities.
