Later that year, Albin signed to Astralwerks, who re-released his Lovers EP, and in 2017 released the follow-up Bloodshot EP.
In 2017, Albin was named by NPR Music as one of their must-see artists at that year's SXSW,[1] and featured as part of their Tiny Desk Concert series. NPR Music described his voice as "breathtaking, soulful, thunderous and impossible to ignore".[2]
He was previously part of a band called the Magnolia.
His debut album, About You, was released on 1 June 2018.[3] In 2018, he appeared on Så mycket bättre, which is broadcast on TV4.[4] On 8 May 2020, Meldau released the first EP out of two, called På svenska (Sida A).[5]
