When Alme received grant money from the Swedish Arts Council (Kulturrådet) for his second album Waiting for the Bells. Regarding the grant money, Alme stated that "it enabled me to use a real strings orchestra and I could spend more time in a very good studio with a good producer, Mattias Glavå."[4]

In 2009, Alme altered the lyrics to his song "A young summer's youth" and produced the song "Snart skiner Poseidon" to be played before and after all IFK Göteborg's home matches where it is performed by a massed chorus of supporters.

In 2015, Alme released Flyktligan – his first album in Swedish. Most of the songs on that album are about his background and upbringing.[5]
