NOTP Countdown: the official report from rehearsals

Edit: Project_Z provides a translation of the Roxette part.

Marie is really happy to be here. It’s possible more satisfying for her than for us. It’s a salvation for her to be finally here, … it brings back many memories and emotions…
It’s a party… fantastic popsongs from the swedish ’school’… ABBA is the biggest icon and Roxette is a close second with many worldwide hits, songs which are very translatable for orchestra…

Helena Josefsson on her new song “Fen & Jag”:

While waiting for my second solo album to get released, I have made this song together with Martinique and Per from my band Sandy Mouche, just for the fun of it. I wrote it and they produced it for me. It is about how I met a fairy one day who said she could give me a new life, to live my life all over again, so I could erase my mistakes and get released from the sadness I have gone through. But my answer to her is, that I now understand that all the tears and the laughter would lead me to where I am today, and I don´t want to change a thing. It was all worth it. Now that I have managed to get a child and my own, new family. When the vocals were recorded, my baby boy was sitting on the floor playing. You can actually hear him in the song, too! At 1.17!

On her website:

Unfortunately my homepage is dead at the moment, but just wait a couple of days and it will be back!

Helena Josefsson posted a message on her MySpace profile:Helena Josefsson - Fen & Jag.

I have recorded a song and made a video with my family and friends, it is called “Fen & jag”!
Waiting for the new soloalbum to get released, I needed to have some fun and I want to give something to you who wait patiently!
I am also playing with my friend Malin, who is a magician (www.malinnilsson.se) and I will be a guest at her show in November! And in spring we will make our very own show with her magic tricks and my popmusic in an exciting fusion! It is so much fun and it is a dream coming true to me…

You can also listen to the song there as well as the French version of “Where does the unused love go?” called “Oublie notre amour KO”. If you are willing to buy “Fen & Jag”, there is a website CDbaby.com found by Evgeny Perekopskiy where you can do it.
