Günther - Famous


Second amazing comeback of the night is made by Günther - another international star from Sweden!
In 2004 ex-modell Mats Söderlund aka Günther has tried music-career with his own image of glamourous star always surrounded by half-naked girls singing catchy Swedish dance-pop songs about sex, sex and sex again. It has worked immediately as it didn't look standart but quite funny and enjoyable so debut album "Pleasureman" with world hit "Ding Dong Song" and other great singles like "Touch Me", "Teeny Weeny String Bikini" has gone to the world with releases in US and Japan. In 2006 Günther performed at Melodifestivalen with the song "Like Fire Tonight" that hasn't qualified to the final but didn't stop his international success in that moment. Previously releasing his latest singles "Sun Trip (Summer Holiday)" and "Pussycat" Mats announced on his site that he's working on his new album "Dirty Man Swedish Sex Beast" but after that he has disappered for music show-business and was working on opening his club Malmö, happily he's back now!
"Famous" keeps line of Günther's loud dance-pop with sexual lyrics, loud female vocals and deep low voice of Günther and just like all previous hits of Günther it's catchy as hell!

You wanna be famous...


Music theme "Famous" of TV-show "Made in Sweden" has got a chance to become a real hit in USA as it was borrowed by new Nickelodeon's American series "Big Time Rush" and will be promoted as a single and included in album planned to be released this August.


Sweden can enjoy this song already year since the first season of "Made In Sweden". Swedish Idol juries Anders Bagge, Andreas Carlsson and Laila Bagge being really creative producing team decided to make this new show demonstrating all required work made by producers with some new stars and main faces of the first season were Janet Leon (ex-member of girls band Play) and Kim Fransson. Results of both were quite impressive, Kim's single "3 Floors Down" has reached #1 and the album - #14, Janet's single "Let Go" entered Top-3 and the album surprisingly peaked at the same 14th place. Later Kim has left team of "Made in Sweden" being unsatisfied with management and Janet is currently has some plans to release her album in USA. However first season left this brilliant rock-soundtrack written by Andreas Carlsson and Desmond Child (charted only one week at #56) that was later changed to a more pop-sound for the next season devoted to comeback of band Play with old members Faye Hamlin, Anaïs Lameche and newcomer (but not new person for Swedish audience) Sanne Karlsson who was main vocalist of last E-Type's album replacing Nana Hedin. This time single "Famous" reached #1 and girls' comeback-album "Under My Skin" has entered Top-10 (#7), Play announced "Not The One" as another single but recently performed another song "Trash" from their album at LOVE Stockholm 2010 festival.

Sommarkrysset: Robyn, Erik Grönwall, Petter, Play, Cookies N Beans, Crossfire & The Tensta Sound


New Sommarkrysset provides new artists, songs and great performances.
Robyn performed her new single "Dancing On My Own", should I even mention that it was amazing? I guess no as Robyn can't do any other way and girl was awarded with #1 of Swedish iTunes today. Another new single "Crash And Burn" was performed by Idol-winner Erik Grönwall, quite energetic performance with powerful Erik's vocals and band Fashion behind him (I'll tell you about this amazing project later), weird that on the other hand it didn't help him a lot (#189 on iTunes). Cookies & Beans sang just released single "I Just Don't Have The Heart" from their last album "Beg, Borrow and Steal" with their special voices. Audience has also got a chance to hear already well-known hits like "Du Gör Min Dag" by Petter and "Famous" by Play who obviously made another great performance and was met very warm by folk in Gröna Lund. Finally Rigo premiered his new cover-single of Arrow "Hot Hot Hot" as Crossfire with choir he's gathered in recent season of show Körslaget.
