Swedish~ Stereo~

Christmas time and Caroline Roosmark shoots with a new wonderful charity calendar full of cebreties musicians (that this blog is basically interested) in quite unexpected images. Can you even guess everyone? Personally I wouldn't guess Moa Lignell, though she's looking incredibly charming. Thorsten Flinck, Lisa Nilsson, Nassim al Fakir and Andreas Lundstedt have also got their special images. Lisa has almost turned to Swedish Monica Bellucci becoming a real fiece of collection. You can buy calendar and watch the rest of photos here (also check some pics of 2012 and 2011 calendars).

Stockholm Pride Youtube channel keeps presenting some performances we previously could see only in videos made by audience.
Today we can watch a live premiere of Moa Lignell's latest single "Whatever They Do" and another album track "Live Your Life" released earlier this summer.
Moa's album "Different Path" is out next Wednesday and we've got a few pieces of making this album on Universal channel so you can find a snippet of another new track "Anything Is Enough" in the end of this video (also check this and this).

Rockbjörnen-2012 awards were held today in Gröna Lund and though Loreen hasn't managed to appear there she has become a big winner of the night taking two prizes - Best female artist and Best song. Loreen fans has got something else interesting though. A small snippet of a new song from upcoming album that you can check below with a full list of winners. Oh! And we're also very glad to see Dead By April and Moa among winners!

Few days ago I told you about Moa Lignell's brand new single "Whatever They Do" and it's already coming out today with a video premiere following release. As we could find from the snippet track in common is a wonderful acoustic pop tune with The Cure feeling. Utterly pleasant and sweet.

Moa Lignell becomes the first Idol-2011 alumni who releases the first album after the show while Amanda Fondell and Robin Stjernberg work on new songs after compilations released by them after the final.
The album "Different Path" is going to be released on September 19th and new single "Whatever They Do" is coming out already on August 1st.
You can already pre-listen the song here and by preview it's going to be a very nice Autumn single connecting almost The Cardigans' melancholy with The Cure-breathing sound and Moa's emotional vocal. Still it's much more dynamic than "When I Held Ya". Next big radio-hit in Sweden for Moa? Easily!

Third wonderful summer show of Swedish TV comes back this week and it's a Sommarkrysset starting with Andreas Lundstedt singing his Melodifestivalen entry "Aldrig Aldrig", eurodance-veterans Haddaway, La Cream and Dr Bombay, Alina Devecerski with her big hit in Sweden "Flytta på dig" and Moa Lignell performing "When I Held Ya".

Moa Lignell's debut single "When I Held Ya" has become a huge success and has got a double platinum status, girl definitely deserved it since she has become Idol's wonder with this song during auditions.
Will Moa's hit get a worthy follow-up? The girl reveals a piece of her second single "Live Your Life" to be released tomorrow, in acoustic version it's quite recognizable country-inspired track with Moa's special vocals. Looking forward to hear studio-version!

Moa Lignell has become a phenomenon of the last Idol season when she has appeared at auditions with self-written song "When I Held Ya" which has left juries and the rest of Sweden under a huge impression. Moa has got her golden ticket to the show and has become 3rd not reaching the final afterwards. But when her song was officially out as a debut single it has directly charted in Top-10 and spreaded all over the radio.
Video for debut Moa's single was shot in Canada and today you can finally watch it online.
