Swedish~ Stereo~

We've been waiting so long for studio-version of this version to leak and finally it's here!
Alexandra Jacovidou is one of young promising talents of Sweden who spent all her teen age participating in different music contests and as example of her latest success is victory in contest Schlagerstjärnan. In 2009 she was honoured to present Sweden in Çeşme Song Contest in Turkey and she was armed with the song of not less than Dimitri Stassos responsible for hits of Sofia, Ola, Sibel and many others. The song was initially released by Clea and then reworked as a new hit for Alexandra and now you can check it in all its brilliance.
"Romeo" is exactly that amazing combination you can expect when Scandinavian melodics meets hot rhythms of Southern Europe and warm breath of Mediterrian Sea. Reggaeton beat with Greek folk-music touch, Alexandra singing with all Swedish pop-artist passion and we're giving up! Unfortunately the song wasn't released because of Alexandra's problems with management but still we hope that Alexandra will find her way to a big audience sooner or later.

Ola Svensson's coming back from the... no, not death, Ola's definitely not that unstoppable Natalie, he's more alive than anyone and he never stops to prove it. Today Ola's releasing his second single "Overdrive" from his forthcoming album. Ola has already managed to release 2 albums after his participation in Idol-2005 and 5 (!!!) singles #1, will this one become his 6th #1 single? Herr Svensson has made his first solo-step back in 2006 when he gave his fans right of choice between songs "How We Do It" and Anthony Calleas' cover "Rain", fans chose "Rain" and the single debuted on the 1st place of Swedish chart and kept there 3 weeks, next single "Brothers" became another Top-10 hit (#4) and debut album "Given To Fly" just like debut single started from the 1st place of Swedish albums-chart. Ola decided not to make a big break after first album and together with producer Tony Nilsson they record new #1 single "Natalie" - one of the biggest hits of 2007, followed up by another hit "S.O.S." and new album "Good Enough". In 2008 Ola took participation in Melodifestivalen with another Tony Nilsson's song "Love In Stereo", unfortunately he didn't reach the final but it became huge summer-hit again together with next single "FeelGood", both were included in re-edition of Ola's second album. Year before Ola came back releasing new track "Sky's The Limit", soundtrack "Play Me" for Finno-Swedish musical "Play Me". and being announced as official participant of Melodifestivalen-2010 with the song "Unstoppable" written by Dimitri Stassos, Alexander Kronlund and Hanif Sabzevari. This time Ola has reached the final and although didn't win the contest it has become huge radio-hit and another #1 single. Ola never makes his fans waiting too long and his new hits are on the way.
"Overdrive" is nice summer track with acoustic calm sound and warm feeling, not that powerful disco-schlager-track that you could expect from Ola but all who will buy this single won't be disappointed as it includes few other tracks and all of them sound different and can satisfy any expectation, "All Over The World" that you can check on Poster Girl blog sounds like a big radio hit mixing some brilliant moments of "Release Me" and "If I Had You", another new track "Still Remember" sounds like another well-produced pop-track with a bit of electro-sound that's gonna make all Ola's fans waiting for a new album even more. EP contains also Benji Of Sweden remix of "Unstoppable".

Life and career were flowing in a full mode for young and beautiful Sibel Redzep last few years. After girl has appeared on Idol-2005 and almost reached the final but was beaten by Agnes and Sebastian Karlsson it took 3 years for her to come back and she did it on Melodifestivalen-2008 with her debut single "That is Where I'll Go" surprising everyone with her astonishing vocals, going directly to the final and releasing her Top-10 debut album "The Diving Belle" with some pretty cool singles and music videos like "Make Believe", "Walking Away" and "I'm Sorry" (best track of the album in my opinion). Sibel also has worked on backvocals for Ashley Tisdale's last album and was touring in China. In 3 years Sibel came back to Melodifestivalen with her new song "Stop" written by Mikaela Stenström and Dimitri Stassos, though it didn't go so well for her, that is a shame as Sibel's polished performance with this amazing track can be easily called real melo-classics. She also provided another demo "You're Making Me Hot-Hot-Hot" that qualified to the contest and was performed by Linda Pritchard but even with great performance didn't go well unfortunately. And now Sibel proudly presents brand new single "The Fall" featuring Lazee and produced by Novel who wrote "Straight Through My Heart" for Backstreet Boys and worked in team of RedOne on songs for Lady Gaga. You can actualy hear some touch of RedOne in this great party-track that shows new side of Sibel. Second Sibel's album that she was recording last two years is planned for August-September.

It was really crazy spring for young artist Eric Saade who has made successful debut on Melodifestivalen-2010 with platinum hit "Manboy", few days ago I told about his Past so now time has come for his Future and this Future is his first solo-album "Masquerade". If you like what you've heard from Eric before tracks from this album will get your players for a long time. I would describe it as mix from Kempe-goes-Britney-disco-pop (Masquerade, Manboy, Sleepless, Upgrade, Radioactive), BWO+September's electro-pop (It's Gonna Rain, Why Do We Need Fashion) and classic boy band stuff that you could expect from What's Up (Say It, I'll Be Alright), next planned single is "Break Of Dawn" that sounds for me like young modern sister of Peter Jöback's "Hollow" and some classic Blue/Westlife ballad. Sounds interesting? Well, probably it's better if you'll check our preview of this album below.
