Swedish~ Stereo~

Yesterday opening of popular Swedish open-air festival organized by radio-station RIX FM has provided debut of probably most expected pop-project of the year Love Generation. The name behind it is not less than Nadir Khayat world-wide known as RedOne - Moroccan-Swedish producer/songwriter who provided biggest world hits of last years for Lady GaGa and also worked with Darin, Sugababes, Cinema Bizarre, Alexandra Burke, Little Boots, Pixie Lott and many others. Recently RedOne announced casting to brand new Swedish girl band project and finally it's here - five young and talented pretty girls Roshana, Melanie, Mikaela, Cornelia and Charlie Q with their new single "Love Generation". Although release was planned for May but for now we can check only snippet in LG commercial and live performance, I have very positive impression taking into account that I didn't listen to full hq version, the song has classic RedOne's sound, huge catchyness and it has to be great hit of this Summer at least in Sweden.

You can check other performances of Love Generation, Rebound, Timoteij, Broken Door, Erik Hassle and Darin yesterday here and here.

As it happens every year this summer we'll be able to catch many open-air tv-performances on Swedish TV, probably it won't bring as much joy to pop-followers as attendance of famous Rix-FM festival and if you come to Sweden in closer few months I extremely recommend you to visit it. Well, those who can't visit Sweden can follow shows like Sommarkrysset, Allsång på Skansen and Lotta på Liseberg (to name a few). Yesterday we could see first show Sommarkrysset this year from park Gröna Lund in Stockholm and it has given us premiere of Orup's new single "Tiden Bara Gick", spring hit of this year "Manboy" by Eric Saade and performance of Swedish pop-queens Velvet and Linda Bengtzing with "Victorious" in all their fabolousness and amazingness with guest performance of the winner of Brittish X-Factor Alexandra Burke, not less than EMD were the hosts of the show yesterday and next week show will be hosted by fröken Bengtzing with performance of Timoteij, Eric Gadd and Rebound.
