Hasfield and Quang or better known as Breeze, are back with a brand new album.

Two years have passed since the release of "Just A Feeling" - a unique blend of melody-driven pop songs, powerful love ballads and an irresistible Scandinavian sound. "Twice Shy" is the name of their latest album. Filled with more upbeat sounds and a modern touch, the new album still has the 'love' theme. Writing love songs is the forte of Hasfiled and Quang. The Breeze duo keep by two principles when making music - keeping it honest and simple and if they can't play a song on one guitar, they won't record it!

Most of their songs deal with their personal experiences in love. "Being in love can hurt and you can hear it in the songs and that's one of the reasons why it is so important to be honest when you make pop music."

The two Danes have been working together for ten years now. While Hasfield sings, Quang takes care of the music. Like opposites attract, both write the songs and produces them together. Although both have distinctly opposite personalities, music is their common love.

After their phenomenal success, Hasfield and Quang have also been busy lending their magical touches to other artistes by writing and producing songs for them. "It's an incredible feeling, knowing that a love song we recorded in our small studio on a rainy day in Denmark, will be playing on the radio in faraway places like South Africa and Asia and maybe make people out there fall in love under the sun," remarks Breeze.

Hasfield has previously worked with artist as 'Dear Mom', 'Bed & Breakfast', 'Catch 21' a.m.o coaching vocals etc. Quang has worked with Gino Vanelli on a project called 'Kudasai', which was released on EMI and has been producing tracks for many Danish artistes as well.
