Swedish Week: Introducing: Anna Ternheim
9:28 PM
Site HERE
Winner of multiple Swedish Grammys, this Stockholm native certainly has somthing to brag to her friends. And I would too! Not only she's a great musician with four albums released, she's also been recognized for her talent. And that means something! With a folk, almost bluesy sound, Anna's music evokes great feeling and shows lot of unique sounds. Her latest album, which earned her two Grammies, "Leaving on a Mayday", which includes the amazing song "Summer Rain" full of beautiful harmonies and shy quirky voices, is a sweetly blended album full of soft emotional tunes, such as the heartbreaking "My Heart Still Beats for You" and the oriental influenced "Terrified", showing her wide influences and versatility. Her new album is on the way, and expected for release this 2011, and clearly, Universal doesn't want her to go anywhere! Will this new album top all her previous success? I think so!

Swedish Week: Introducing: Veronica Maggio

Veronica Maggio is probably one of Swedish most successful new artists. The songstress has been climbing to success since 2006, same year in which she signed to Universal, when her debut album reached a #14, then her sophomore came #7 and her latest album, the stunning soulful "Satan i gatan", claimed the #1 spot for several weeks. She may seem another pop wannabe at first but there's something about her airy singing style that it's both haunting and fascinating. And if you are lucky enough to speak Swedish, you'll also be able to appreciate the beauty of her lyrics. I must admit I considered taking some Swedish classes, I even looked up where I could do them (and I might in the future), cause it sounds so beautiful when she sings in it! I actually learned her song "Jag Kommer", it's funny cause I sing in Swedish and I'm not able to understand what I'm saying. Haha. But seriously, she's got that little something that will get you hooked if you give her a chance, and I know you'll love it!

X Factor UK 2011: Series Premiere!: Auditions 1
20 August, 2011 3:09 PM
And it's finally here!! I must confess I was feeling lonely without any singing competition to watch. Haha. Glad the XF is back for another great season. Last year we had an amazing amount of talent, with the entire top 5 being signed to labels. Will this year's bunch of hopefuls be able to emulate the success of last year's contestants? I hope so! With a revamped judges panel, with Tulisa Contostavlos, Gary Barlow and Kelly Rowland joining useless Louis Walsh, this series promises to be refreshing and exciting! So, without more chatter ... It's time to face the music! (I missed using that phrase! Haha)

The Glee Project: The Final 4!
18 August, 2011 8:34 PM
With The Glee Project coming to an end, it's time that I make some coments on the final 4 contestants, considering one of them will be on my TV soon as part of the Glee cast. I've been watching the show but I decided not to make any recaps of it in case it bombed, after all, many newcomers I've covered in the past were cancelled, Must Be the Music and Don't Stop Believing anyone? Since I didn't cover it, the ratings have been great and a second season is almost a fact. And with the final coming on Sunday, here's a little something on each of the top 4 ...

Music Video: Atle Pettersen: Shine
12 August, 2011 7:41 PM
SITE HERE
His rocker looks weren't enough to beat Hans Bollandsås on the Norwegian XF second season, but Atle has still managed to release his music and his latest effort, "Shine", reached #14 on the iTunes charts. The song is exactly what you could expect from him, a good well sang rock song. And that's it. There's not much originality here but it does the trick. But for a successful album, he'll have to do what fellow contestant Gabrielle did. Atle needs to start thinking out of the box if he wants more than a #14 ...
