Swedish~ Stereo~

While Allsång season is over Sommarkrysset is still with us every Saturday.
Performances we were interested the most today were Isa we told about earlier with her loud debut "Bomb" this summer and Sara Li performing Whitney's cover solo! And Björn Ranelid was doing Allsång solo too. Herregud!
We've got Sara and Björn making "Mirakel" anyway.

Fibes, Oh Fibes! new album is planned to be released on April 14th. Band's fans have got a wonderful chance to become a part of it competing with their Facebook avatars as the album's cover gathering "likes" of other Facebook users.
In the end of the last year Fibes, Oh Fibes! have already presented two of their new tracks - "Cerahtonia", "Apex Of The Sun" and "From Me" as quite recognizable for them melodic funky branch of Swedish soul-pop. Here is another new track premiered today - "Goodbye To Love" sounding like a band's own very light and relaxed vision of Oskar Linnros' "Från och med Du".

Salem Al Fakir, Peter Jöback, Christian Waltz, Christian Olsson (Fibes Oh Fibes), Musse Hasselvall, Mange Schmidt, Thomas Rusiak, Eric Gadd and Magnus Carlson (which is not Carlsson!). Have we seen bigger quantity of Swedish music stars guesting in the other artist's video?
If you're into Swedish music for real (and even a bit more) faces of Ansiktet will look familiar to you - Herbert "Afasi" Munkhammar is half of Afasi & Filthy and you could previously see Erik Emanuel Nordström in Lilla Sällskapet.
Now guys work together making their own special sort of soul-music and their first big success is this lovely summerish video featuring ton of well-known artists for quite pleasant new single "X". Nice moment to release it two days before Midsommar.

Hope you don't mind if I'll share with you small pleasant Christmas flashback with Fibes, Oh Fibes! that I've discovered just yesterday but that happened already year ago.
Previous Christmas Fibes, Oh Fibes! being active in promotion period of their album "1987" presented Christmas cover of Chris Rea's "Driving Home For Christmas" at Bingolotto. Yes, Christian Olsson's voice sounded very similar to Chris' but band has managed to bring something their own, something warm, stylish and original, to wrap it in their style and how lovely was it! You're gonna enjoy it, it's a solid three minutes of the purest Christmas.

Fibes, Oh Fibes! released 3-part video for their latest single "Love Will Always Find A Way" and you can already watch all of them on youtube. First part is made for original track and shows Eva Dahlgren presenting frontman Kristian, some summer shots and Kristian singing alone in a dark room. Second part is made for Damien Adore Remake showing band spending time during summer vacation and the third part is shot during club gig of Fibes, Oh Fibes! along with Winnberg Remix of the song. So you can check this single in all sound and visual versions below.

Let's check what interesting we could watch this week in the biggest music tv-shows of Sweden. Yesterday we've got Sommarkrysset back but Lotta På Liseberg and Allsång På Skansen had a lot of interesting guests as well.
This time Lotta invited Swedish sweetheart Sanna Nielsen who performed her last single "Devotion" and new song "A Part Of Me" (that was presented earlier on Love Stockholm 2010 as "Sound Of Spring"), very pleasant work in Celine Dion direction of last Sanna's album. Another big public favorite Kalle Moraeus was singing his Melodifestivalen-hit "Underbart". Timo Räisänen who was also involved this year in after-show of Melodifestivalen performed his last single "Outcast". Watch whole show here.

Allsång På Skansen this time presented 2 Top-5 finalists of Melodifestivalen - Timoteij and Darin. Darin gave stunning performance of his "You're Out Of My Life", new brilliant single "Lovekiller" and Lena Philipsson's cover "Kärleken är evig", it all was (not surprisingly) accompanied by screams of Darin's happily wild fans. Timoteij presented new single "Högt Över Ängarna", sure didn't forget about folk's beloved "Kom" and old song "Fjäril vingad syns på Haga". Other participating big names were Kikki Danielsson with her classic hit "Bra vibrationer" and new single "Let this light shine on me forever", ex-Rednex with new name Cotton Eye Joe Show, medley of their biggest hits and covers of "Ring Ring" and "Roll In My Sweet Baby's Arms", Movits! with their own "Äppelknyckarjazz", "Fel Del Av Gården" and karaoke of "Fritiof och Carmencita", Olivia Stevens with some classic stuff and Christopher O'Regan. Watch whole programme here.

And finally Sommarkrysset as usual came back with Melodifestivalen-2010 participants, this time Crucified Barbara were singing their hit "Heaven & Hell", schlager-veteran Anne-Lie Rydé performed Vikingarna's cover "Hallå" from her new released album "Dans På Rosor", Fibes Oh Fibes! with one of their hits "Lovechild" and two Scandinavian guests Rasmus Seebach from Denmark performed currently popular in Sweden track "Natteravn" and Norwegian duo Madcon tried to repeat Eurovision-flashmob with single "Glow" being on the top of many European charts this Summer after band's performance in Oslo. Programme was finished with another big Madcon's hit "Beggin'", band was joined by Magnus Carlson with Swedish version of this song titled "Jag ber dig". Watch whole show here.

Next year group will be celebrating 10 years since its foundation but band's road to fame wasn't so short, only in 3 years after Fibes, Oh Fibes! was born they caught the eye of audence playing intelligent melodic pop-music inspired by Phil Collins, Lionel Richie and Toto with singles "One Hour Baby" and "This City's Got No Boulevards" from the first full-length album "Still Fresh". With the next try and new album "Emotional" (2006) band has marked themselves in Swedish albums-chart at #25, released new bunch of singles "Last Party", "Get Up", "Can't Be So" and got quite positive feedback from critics.
