Brandur’s new album

by

Brandur Enni is a singer and a songwriter from the Faroe Islands, located in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean, approximately halfway between Scotland and Iceland. But he decided to start his career in Sweden – for instance he took part in Swedish Melodifestivalen the last year. A few weeks ago Brandur was in Sundsvall to record a music video for his first single “Sometimes truth needs a lie” off the forthcoming album – in the old mental hospital at Sidsjön lake.

Bandur’s album will be released in October and was produced by Christoffer Lundquist in his studio in Scania.

Gessle: Madonna is fantastic

by

Per Gessle with his wife Åsa showed up on Madonna’s Sunday show on Ullevi Stadium in Gothenburg on August 9. It was Gessle’s third Ullevi concert this summer.

– Madonna is fantastic. I expect a great show and a production that will look like very expensive, said Per just before her concert.

But he is not really very inspired by her music, though he likes some of her old hits.

– I saw both AC/DC and U2 this summer. They’ve inspired me a lot. Especially early AC/DC.

On his Twitter site, after the gig, Per wrote that Madonna last night was not really for him and he was really disappointed.
