Swedish~ Stereo~

You surely didn't think Man Meadow won't be involved in this ESC-season somehow. Last year we had initially their song "Overflow" performed by Ditte Marie in Danish selection and this year guys have sent their own entry to Swiss one and you can already listen to it online.
"How Does It Feel" sounds like band's comeback to Eurovision-electropop direction of the first singles but darker, more mature and dramatic.
You can check the song watching music video shot in New York here.

Earlier this year Man Meadow has presented their version of Ditte Marie's "Overflow" - song that participated in Danish Eurovision pre-selection. While initially we thought it's a cover guys have revealed in QX interview that firstly the song was written for them but both songwriters and performers couldn't be Swedish to enter selection so it was decided to give it to Danish singer.
Anyway guys don't give up on their Eurovision dream and will be trying to reach the contest one day. Currently they keep on working on new music and looking forward to shoot music video in New York this September. Here you can check recently premiered video for "Overflow".

Last summer Man Meadow has presented their comeback single "Eaten Alive" which has become a cover of Diana Ross' old hit. New Man Meadow's single is another cover but for a track much fresher - Danish Eurovision fans favorite of this year, Ditte Marie's song "Overflow" written by Swedish team - Mike Eriksson, Johnny Sanchez, Hanif Sabzevari and unfortunately not qualifying to Baku.
New version of the song was produced by Soundfactory and though not a miles away from the original one but has become a bit dancier. So hopefully the track will get more attention in Sweden now.

Man Meadow premiere brand new video of their latest single "Eaten Alive" - Diana Ross' cover they've come back with earlier this summer.
Horror video was shot in abandoned hospital and it has turned to a hard test of artists' nerves in rooms full of broken glass and dark basement corridors leaving impression of real haunted house with scary sounds artists could hear all over the house.
Fortunately guys weren't eaten alive and you can check the result of shoting already now.

Weekend comes early on Swedish Stereo, we had no mix nights for ages so here we get a bunch of interesting remixes for some actual releases to talk about.
Adam Rickfors who never dissapoints us with his works has made much more dreamy mix than he use to deliver of the latest Gravitonas' single "Lucky Star" moving a bit in Avicii trend of soft not aggresive radio-friendly sound.
Soundfactory has become part of the team responsible for Man Meadow's comeback with single "Eaten Alive" arriving with a solid schlageristic dose on his new mix.
And finally we get a nice edit of recently unleashed September's "Me & My Microphone" video with probably the best remix of this song from Casado & Daif - explosive and clubby.

Schlagerkvällen-2011 (big annual schlager-gala on August Stockholm Pride's week) wasn't the most fantastic in years, you can read review of Schlagerprofilerna's Ronny here and English translation on Schlagerfiasko.
Personally we wouldn't be too excited about this concert too but if we'll take a look at the whole week there was a lot of performances and involved artists that we'd really like to see.
Unfortunately there's a huge lack of qualitative videos on youtube this year (if you're ok with it you can find some Alcazar, Sanna, Shirley's Angels, Jenny Silver, etc. performances) so I've chosen just two of enjoyable quality and interesting songs we were talking about recently. To be more exact live premiere of Man Meadow's single "Eaten Alive" (nice to see that band is back on track in a great shape) and performance of amazing Glorious Inc's "Dance or Die".

Swedish pop-duo Man Meadow consisting of Niklas Vestberg and Fredrik Olofsson that have adorned previous Eurovision selecton seasons with two amazing Thomas G:Son written songs "Viva la musica" (2008) and "Love Is Gonna Get You" (2009) are back to present their new single "Eaten Alive" in a week of Stockholm Pride with following live performance at Thursday's Schlagergala.
"Eaten Alive" is a cover of Diana Ross' song written by Bee Gees and Michael Jackson and released in 1985. Man Meadow's version is a tribute to Michael and guys do exactly what fans expect from them making sexy electronic version with dark synth sound and expressive schlageristic choruses.
Release will also get SoundFactory mix, we can already imagine how it's gonna sound and we definitely like it!

Magnus Carlsson releases new single "Feel You" - another amazing disco-anthem from Pitchline sounding like brother of Velvet's "Take My Body Close", Pitchline being young production company has recommended itself like a great team releasing high-level stuff with Velvet, Alice Svensson, Kick and Magnus. Single includes some nice mixes from Pitchline and Ruff & Jam and b-side "Take Me To Your Heart" another dance track obviously inspired by music of Modern Talking (seems like Man Meadow has got a serious rival).
