Swedish~ Stereo~

Pontus Hagberg has become a big name for Swedish pop-fans in 00s under the name Evan after releasing a series of stuff presenting pretty special mix of epic tunes, electronic sound and original voice. Two albums, two participations in Melodifestivalen (as an artist and as a songwriter of Thérèse Andersson's song) and loads of not trivial poptastic stuff.
Evan has come back in 2010 with the compilation "Bonustracks" including new single "Fall From Grace" bringing back electropop-side of Evan flowing in waves of his dreamy vocals. The most of "Bonustracks" songs were already heard by fans before but Evan didn't keep them waiting for some fresh music to come. He has released new album "The Beauty of Your Face" this year and the first single "Out Of Control" has got the video that you can watch below.
By the way you can check snippets of the album here and you can notice Evan's own version of "Do You Really Wanna Love", the song rejected at Melodifestivalen in 2008-2009 and released by Michalis Hatzigiannis later.

I absolutely can not hold myself from sharing with you recently discovered gorgeous piece of pop-music, to be exactly even two pieces produced by one of our favorite songwriters - Anderz Wrethov together with Denniz Jamm for new Swedish pop-artist Maria.
As we understand project hasn't started yet so there's no stories for now and what we have is just two recorded songs "Radioactive" and "Out Of Control" sounding like Anderz solo-stuff meets Gunther and visits Elin Lanto. At least "Radioactive" really feels like "Discotheque" with its heavy beat and amazing artist's attitude when "Out Of Control" plays on the field of Rihanna's "Don't Stop The Music" but with appreciable Wrethov-sound and if you don't realize yet how great this poptastic combination should sound check yourself below.
Regarding other Anderz' news - he has recorded official anthem of Sweden on Women's World Cup to be held this year in Germany. It's called "One Love One Goal" and it sounds as anthemic as it should be leaving light impression like if Brian Adams would decide to sing new Enigma's single. You can listen to it here! Song will be released as new Anderz' single on June 10th.
