The album is called <span style="font-style: italic;">Facit</span> and the first single <span style="font-style: italic;">Fredrik</span> has been frequently played in the radio. <span style="font-style: italic;">Fredrik</span> is a song about one of <span style="font-style: italic;">Annika's</span> friends.<br /><br />I have been listening to all of <span style="font-style: italic;">Annika's</span> music, both as <span style="font-style: italic;">Hello Saferide</span> and <span style="font-style: italic;">Säkert!</span> and the more time that passes the more I prefer her <span style="font-style: italic;">Swedish</span> music. Her lyrics is very <span style="font-style: italic;">sad-sharp-funny</span> and brilliantly sung in her dialect from the northern parts of <span style="font-style: italic;">Sweden</span>. One of my favorite tracks from the new album is <span style="font-style: italic;">Dansa, fastän</span> and takes place at a wedding party.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Säkert!</span> is going on a tour around <span style="font-style: italic;">Sweden</span> next year, when winter turns to spring again [I can't wait!] and I'm sure I will be there, and I'm sure it will be great :)<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">If you want to read Pitchforks review of the new album, <a href="http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/14783-facit/">check it out here</a>.

In the reviews I have been reading they get mostly 4 out of 5 and that gave me hope. Kent's last few albums has been a bit uninspiring, but this time they seem to have found back to a happier place, and a place you want to share with them :)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.last.fm/music/Kent?ac=kent">Kent</a> will be touring <span style="font-style: italic;">Sweden</span> during the summer, so if you happen to be here you should go see them. As one of <span style="font-style: italic;">Sweden's</span> biggest bands they are relatively unknown outside of <span style="font-style: italic;">Sweden</span>, although they made a couple of their albums in English as well [<span style="font-style: italic;">Isola</span> and <span style="font-style: italic;">Hagnesta Hill</span>]. Without any bigger success it seems, but their popularity in Sweden stays intact.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Kent</span> will be spinning on my <span style="font-style: italic;">Spotify</span> for the rest of the summer!

They take album selling to a whole new level by selling the album together with a 100 page magazine about the band. That way they take back some of the space that has been lost to digital downloads and put it in a new package on the magazine shelf's.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">What do you think of this new way of selling albums?

She is going to Oslo later this month.<br /><br />Anna is a young woman [18] with a very grown up voice. Not what you expect when a little girl walks up on stage in her sneakers and a guitar. But it works, its pretty good for music coming through the <span style="font-style: italic;">Eurovision</span> competition.<br /><br />She is not a beginner despite her young age, she has been singing since she was a child and has also competed in music shows like <span style="font-style: italic;">Super Trooper</span> and <span style="font-style: italic;">Idol</span>. Maybe that gives her an advantage on stage, being used to be watched by millions of people, competing in music [which some people say it's impossible to do, but that is a whole other discussion]. She released her first album <span style="font-style: italic;">Yours Sincerely</span> earlier this spring, and I'm pretty sure it wont be her last.<br /><br />I like <span style="font-style: italic;">Anna</span> and I hope she does well for herself. I hope that the sometimes scary music industry doesn't eat her up and spit her out. What do you think, can <span style="font-style: italic;">Anna</span> win the <span style="font-style: italic;">Eurovision</span>?<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">If you want to know more about Anna, you can check out her <a href="http://www.anna-bergendahl.se/">official website</a>.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Anna Bergendahl - This is My Life</span><br /><object width="480" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9N7IMFv7m08&hl=en_US&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9N7IMFv7m08&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>mimimillahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06719487698651415285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3386810866837611025.post-72750760660039311462010-05-02T17:08:00.011+02:002010-05-02T17:43:51.828+02:00There's a Razzia going on!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG-zf050a0lyUUjOxZMCXGm6uu-1xnBi0GU9cqrN3wuNAeohRkHyt1esVKy28-REUM8pWPH3PiUN58C31O-vivL119Jl_oNigj3nvZWWBexOo06hQNz2sNym3f7YSZuXkPYfD339T5XGnA/s1600/Bild+9.png"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 328px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG-zf050a0lyUUjOxZMCXGm6uu-1xnBi0GU9cqrN3wuNAeohRkHyt1esVKy28-REUM8pWPH3PiUN58C31O-vivL119Jl_oNigj3nvZWWBexOo06hQNz2sNym3f7YSZuXkPYfD339T5XGnA/s400/Bild+9.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466693748820952002" border="0" /></a><br />One of my favorite Swedish record labels is <a href="http://www.razziarecords.se/"><span style="font-style: italic;">Razzia Records</span></a>.
