Swedish~ Stereo~

This May we presented to you Anderz Wrethov with single "Runaway" that turned to become success peaking at #12 position of Swedish chart, Anderz being Swedish real hit-machine is ready for a new music stuff and you can find some cool pop-pieces on his youtube-channel.
Choice of next single isn't clear yet but "We can't stop" sounds like the most obvious single choice for us - energetic pop-song based on electric guitars, hard rhythm and anthemic backing vocals woking great with Anderz' rock-voice. But it's difficult not to fall for "Always" - beautiful euro-ballad growing to massive stadium rock song, "I'm ready" - heartful modern ballad with r'n'b-beat and touching feeling of light sadness, "Is this love" - dynamic pop-track wrapped in 90s eurodance-synths and guitar riffs with nice hook and catchy chorus and finally more electrified "Let the beat go on" another outstanding track decorated with great baseline, tasty modern production and repetetive chorus stuck in your head from the first listen. Don't miss this great stuff, tomorrow any of these songs can become next Anderz' hit.

Linda Sundblad is very active this year after relase of her long-awaited album "Manifest", she took part in Love Stockholm 2010 festival, was invited as host and script-writer of Rockbjörnen 2010, worked as songwriter (for example you can find her song "Good Stuff" on Elin Lanto's album "Love Made Me Do It") and currently she's preparing for trip to Afghanistan where she will be performing for Swedish soldiers (Linda has been already tripping to Kosovo before and decided that she has to make it again), now she's going through tough training and you can see a lot of photos on her site.
If you remember year before Linda was featured on 2 tracks of Rasmus Faber's album "Where We Belong" - "Everything Is Alright" and "Always". Guys keep working together and we get new track "Stay With Me" made by Rasmus and Japanese violinist Chieko Kinbara that's going to be released on Rasmus' new compillation "So Far 3", it's pleasant chill-out summerish track with beautiful strings part, latin percussion and relaxing mood.

As well you can download new lounge-salsa version of Linda's "To All My Girls" made by Rasmus with Thomas Eby on her site for free.

Last year Linda performed with Rasmus at Billboard Live in Tokyo both their previous tracks "Everything Is Alright" and "Always", very nice live versions that I really recommend you.

Sweden's ready for a new star though this person is already familiar to Swedish audience. Already in June Anderz Wrethov will release his single "Runaway" and it sounds like it's gonna be a huge hit in a close future. Initially Anderz has started as artist participating in popular show "Sikta mot stjärnorna" that I wrote about in previous post, he won as Bryan Adams' look-alike in 1999 and in 00s has turned from artist to songwriter working with many artists all over the world and sure with Swedish colleagues - Günther, Arash, Frida, Carlito (Dr Bombay), etc. His latest huge European hit "Always" was performed by Arash and Aysel on Eurovision-2010 and his songs (Arash, Günther & The Sunshine Girls "Like Fire Tonight", Frida feat. Headline "Upp och hoppa") were also taken twice to Swedish selection. Debut Anderz' single "Runaway" sounds like great follower of "Poker Face" mixing elecro-pop with hard beat and guitar sound. You can also clearly hear vocals of Johanna Stedt in the end of track (Johanna is often involved in tracks made by Anderz), I'm gonna tell you about this talented and beautiful singer little later and now enjoy with this newborn hit!
