In 2010 he released his second studio album, called "Waiting for the Bells". He is the former lead singer for Spring in Paris.
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."
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 2014, four songs from "Waiting for the Bells" were used in the film Happy Christmas. In the movie, Anna Kendrick's character falls in love with Alme's music. In using the music, director Joe Swanberg said of Alme, "Nothing has sounded like that since Bob Dylan."
In 2015, Alme released "Flyktligan" – his first album in Swedish. Most of the songs on that album are about his background and upbringing.
