Sheltered Life is essentially nothing groundbreaking. However, that is no bad thing in this case, as he drapes lazy vocals over a relaxed and unhurried electronic track. Oye's voice sets his efforts out from the pack, and in the process he caresses our ears in a manner championed by his good friends Royksopp.

The Royksopp/Air/Ladytron fan in you feels compelled to check out Erlend Oye, whereas the snob in you dictates that you try something entirely new. Oye is a mere step from his peers, but it's a relaxed step, and you could do a lot worse for a chilled summer track.
