Is this the most genius (for its simplicity) money-making scheme ever?… Continue reading Discoveries of the Week

Cry For You has been out for ages now and has been a deservedly huge hit, but still there is no official word on what will be the next single. However, I just read a very disturbing rumour, that it is going to be a brand new song. On one hand it is exciting to… Continue reading Wake me up when September gets a new song out

I’d seen them on the release schedule, but I never believe it until I see the videos on TV. Now I have, so we can officially celebrate and jubilate: E-Type and Blue Lagoon are coming to the UK!

Evidence #1: The bonus track on the new album is called We Wanna Party, just like a Lene song which sounds quite Aloud-y. Evidence #2: They have covered Lene before, on the song Here We Go, although the original singer was Moonbaby/Miranda Cooper.

Marit Larsen (who is NOT the same person as Marit Bergman, for the record) is soon to release a new album, and she’s just started previewing it on her MySpace. A new song will be uploaded each day, and I’m afraid we’ve already missed one called The Chase (a shame since it is apparently ABBA-esque!)… Continue reading A treat from Marit

Those Dancing Days – Home Sweet Home (Watch)Here’s the next UK single from the world’s coolest girlband. I don’t know if they’ll ever make anything quite as amazing as Hitten again, but this is really cute and jolly song which improves as it goes along.
