This Song Sounds Sexy

Difficult but seriously empowering day back in the studio in Sweden! Been working with Alexander Holmgren today, didn't manage to snap a picture of him but TRUST me...he actually looks like Basshunter! Check out his impressive array of guitars in the picture, I honestly couldn't fit them all in!
The song we wrote today was pretty testing and really pushed me vocally but hard work never hurt anyone hey!? After piecing the song together and recording the vocal we realised it needed to be stepped a few keys to give it a bit of power...BUT we got there in the end. It's soulful, meaningful and 'sexy' according to Alex...bless him.

On a completely different note, Melodifestivalen is currently occurring over here in Sweden. It's huge out here and the chosen winner then goes on to represent Sweden at The Eurovision Song Contest 2012, so you can just imagine the hype!

Found out today however that one of the 32 artists that are performing at the festival is actually associated with where I'm working here in Malmo! The band is called OPA. Check out all the acts out at the link below...I know you'd all love a sneak peak of who we'll potentially loose to next year. Nul Points anyone?

To Sweden I Go!

Arrived in Malmo, Sweden, late last night and got caught in a very angry storm, meaning delayed trains and a VERY cold Moya. I can't complain though, it's good to be back and the people here are wonderful as always!

Worked today with David Frenberg (Swedish metal head in the picture!) and produced a soulful track with a lot of electric guitar...I love it and hopefully you will too!

3 more co-writes to go...I'll try to stay away from 'Euro-Pop'. Can't promise anything though :)
