Spotify catalogue snapshot
The writing brief
Each song needed to feel unmistakably Linn: emotionally direct, alternative in texture and immediate enough to hold a hook. The work began by identifying the lyrical and musical centre of each track before building outward.
The InHaus contribution
The InHaus team contributed songwriting and composition to Candy and Just Tell Me—developing lyrical perspective, melodic contour, harmonic movement and section-by-section structure around Linn's performance.
The creative contribution
For Just Tell Me, InHaus helped carry the composition from emotional premise to finished song architecture—refining the point of view, melodic shape, harmonic movement and tension between sections.
Candy became a second, distinct writing credit: another collaboration built around Linn's voice, with its own emotional register and musical identity.
