Melfest Performers' New Music

[Pingu]

Slightly bemused by Dotter responding to the indifference of the Swedish GP by going for a Dr Anna-esque country lite pop direction:

Gunilla genuinely and unironically doing this but better.

 

[ILL ADVISED]

This is cute

 

[Devil]

Yeah that’s a lot better than Lemonade

 

[FetchFugly]

You would have thought Samir and Viktor might have been shamed into retirement but no:



I assume lil Theoz feels he has outgrown the 'z'

 

[Apoca]

Both of these Theoz songs are GOOD, particularly Vill Va Honom.

 

[ILL ADVISED]

 

[Devil]

Yeah that’s decent

 

[ILL ADVISED]

I’m very much on board with this era

 

[FetchFugly]

Someone from quite a few years back who didn't have the most successful MF entry, but I think this is really quite lovely:

 

[FetchFugly]

I could have sworn she sang something about body odour the first time I heard this:



Quite good.

I know an eighties pastiche is hardly fresh at this point but I like this as well:

[D5K]

Can't wait for Arja's version of Aldrig Aldrig

 

[FetchFugly]

Old Ellen is still doing dirty pop:



Very good too. The two singles she released earlier this year are rather less so.

 

[Pingu]

Another Andreas Lundstedt cover from Så mycket bättre, but this time rather excitingly featuring the rest of Alcazar - including Annikafiore

 

[FetchFugly]

Andreas clearly needs to stop playing around with plans to enter MF solo and get the girls in on the act.

Andreas isn’t the holdout here. Magnus can’t stand him, and Tess is all about the good life. Could touring work with just Annikafiore and Lina?

What's Tess holding out over? Does she prefer just doing her own thing / occasional tours with JONATHAN FAGERLUND?

I don't mind Magnus, but he is very far from essential as far as Alcazar goes for me, I really prefer them without him.

You would have thought Tess is convinceable, if not for a long term commitment then a short run.

 

[Sheena]

Alcazar updated their logos across social media, this week, which was interesting. Perhaps just for this, but still...

 

[Sheena]

Doesn't the song sample This Is The World We Live In? Or BASICALLY so...

 

[SystemAddict]

Magnus is currently busy being the Swedish Claire Richards.



I will say that his inclusion still remains my favourite Alcazar era and would love to see a full 20 year reunion.

 

[VoR]

That KMKY cover is terrible. I don’t know if he was going for Frida-style deadpan but he just sounds utterly bored.

Now, if this is what the reports of an Andreas comeback for MF 2025 was teasing...

Sorry to inform you, but it's the biggest Swedish Christmas hit released this side of the millennium.

Björn even convinced SVT to pay for a trip to L.A. to do a mockumentary about it, featuring Michael Bublé.

Björnzone 2.0

Vi följer superpojkbandet Björnzone när de spelar in jullåten "A Christmas Song" i den ikoniska Henson-studion i Los Angeles, där "We Are the World" spelades in. Björnzone är Björn Gustafsson, Filip Berg, Loa Falkman, Casper Janebrink, Victor Leksell, Adam Lundgren, Ulrik Munther, Boris René...

And yet 'Still The One' still isn't on Spotify. I wouldn't mind a version without the old guy singing out of time.

It’s actually good!

It is.

 

[FetchFugly]

Lyrically rough but the post chorus bit is a thrill.

 

[FetchFugly]

Oh this is GREAT

I understand poor Malou must not know what to do with herself after the cruel snubbing of 24K Gold, but this is not the way.

 

[FetchFugly]

A synthpop swing on Biggest Fan and the other two feel more akin to The Sounds than Kamikaze Life.

 

[VoR]

New Charlotte. Not a sniff of , sadly. But it is very pretty. Better than the pointless Radio 2 covers she's been peddling of late, anyway.
