Lena Philipsson is BACK to save us ALL AGAIN- 2024 EDITION!

[Sheena]

New single tomorrow with Per Gessle of Roxette fame!

Jury’s out and no idea if it’s a one off or something more substantial, but it doesn’t sound like she’s going down the banger route…

 

[Sheena]

Oh apparently it’s a single from an upcoming duet album of Per’s but also she’s going on a world tour with him as “Roxette in Concert”!

HOW CURIOUS!

 

[Sheena]

ROXETTE are touring the UK- dates in January listed. But I don’t think Lena is in that. She seems to be joining them in February.

I NEED TO SEE THIS HOT SHIT.

Imagine LENA having a BASH at FADING LIKE A FLOWER

LENOXETTE - if that travels I'm so there for it. Per really should look to teaming up with another established vocalist, much like how Roxette was formed in the first place. How exciting.

 

[Sheena]

My only issue is that might stop OUR GLORIOUS LEADER from recording gay bangers…

…otherwise COUNT ME IN

 

[FetchFugly]

This is all very random. I'm interested, but I was hoping we might be due another full Lena opus soon.

I also hope she dont forget to release her own bangers

Well, we’re DUE…

…it’s whether LADY STAR agrees. She’s been working on stuff- I was secretly hoping a home country would coax her into releasing something appropriate solo, but seemingly not.

 

[Sheena]

Australia and South Africa?

This had BETTER come to the UK.

The Per Gessle song:

 

[Sheena]

Ok, so I HATE the whistling and the rest is kinda MEH, two listens in.

Shame.

 

[Apoca]

It's not so random though, the two have sorta known each other forever, too, haven't they? Didn't Per co-write Kärleken Är Evig?

And an English song that Roxette then ‘covered’ on Tourism. So yes, agreed that them duetting is random at all, but her being the new lead singer for Roxette is certainly a little left field.

 

[straightorbroken]

No Per vocals are needed on this collab other than some crazy Dressed For Success type call and response to Lena "are you gonna save the gays?" "Oh I don't know" etc. It's nice, but not the one they should have dropped. I do think Per is incredibly consistent so fingers crossed other material will be more emphatic and instant.

Her late period facial transformation into Charlotte Perrelli has begun

It's airbrushing rather than anything else. She looks fantastic in real life, but far more natural than THAT abomination.

 

[Sheena]

I'm also guessing we're not getting much new from our GLORIOUS LEADER (SWEDISH DIVISION) this year, considering she's probably tied up with Roxette duties for the most of it.

 

[Sheena]

I missed this at the time but I’ve been ALL THINGS QUEEN LENA since seeing her with Roxette this week and I thoroughly enjoyed this chat she had with ex-MTV VJ Steve Blame on his podcast:



It isn’t ridiculously in depth, though he’s obviously done his research, but it’s nice to hear her chat about her career in English for once.

Oh and this, gang, was as incredible as you could EVER imagine.
