For all who was missing Lotta Engberg's show in Liseberg TV4 has started traditional series of four Christmas shows JulLotta på Liseberg featuring among others Sanna Nielsen, Roger Pontare, Ulrik Munther, Magnus Carlsson, Elisas, Jill Johnson and Magnus Uggla this time.
First episode was guested by Sanna, Ulrik and Roger, you can watch whole show here and below you can check Sanna performing beautiful ballad "Just Like That" written by Henrik Wikström and Kristian Lagerström from her latest album which sounded especially magic and touching in the context of show's Christmas atmosphere. Ulrik was great as always and crowd's scream in the end was confirming that he's gonna be one of the biggest favorites of Melodifestivalen-2012. Maybe competing with Lotta if she'll also be confirmed on Monday.

Vincent Pontare's video for new single "Baby Hurricane" is unleashed and surprisingly trailer premiered before doesn't have anything common with this video.
Video shows Vincent in his childhood - as that Swedish baby hurricane wandering around wild nature of Northern Sweden, haunting cows, watching people swimming in lake after bath (it's all actually nice way to realize how nice Swedes relate to nature) and you're even gonna get daddy Roger playing himself. What a great idea? Name of Roger never was involved in Vincent's promotion but now when Vincent has earned huge popularity it looked like a great idea to get him into the video.
The song still sounds amazing and if you didn't pay proper attention to it before you need to try it again!

Star of Vincent Pontare has risen on a Swedish music sky 3 years ago. Young artist with familiar name (his dad is Roger Pontare who won Melodifestivalen-2000) created his own unique combination of pop, raggae and retro that sounded very special way and immediately put him on the spot.
Vincent has started his music career from hip-hop trio Turbulent with single "Simple man" that attracted attention of Warner. Soon Sweden has got big breaktrough hit "Don't hate on me" establishing his own original sound in a bunch with not less interesting and pretty successful singles "P.a.r.a.d.i.s.e." and "Miss Blue" and the album "Lucky Thirteen" - one of completely best albums of 2007 in my opinion.
In that period Vincent working with LaCarr Music Production has already established himself as songrwiter and producer who wrote huge hits for Danny ("If Only You"), Amanda Jenssen ("Do You Love Me") and even wrote song "Evergreen" for Backstreet Boys that unfortunately wasn't released but you can find it on youtube and this is pretty awesome how it sounds more like Vincent than like BSB.
Year ago Vincent appeared on magazines covers as boyfriend of Swedish pop princess Agnes Carlsson and right now his back with news from his music part of life.
New single "Baby Hurricane" presents Vincent in quite different sound. Though you still can recognize Vincent but you could expect this work more from Salem al Fakir. Sweet melody and positive atmosphere of this song carries you to a small fairytale world, a little bit irrational, a little bit complicated but full of sunny Vincent's magic. Soon we'll get video for this song and you can already check trailer of it here.
