Magnus Lindgren

New jazz song by Marie Fredriksson

by

Surprise of the year is that a new jazz song will be released by Marie Fredriksson on her birthday, 30th May. It’s released on Amigo, a division of Cosmos Music under exclusive license from Amelia Music AB. The song is 4 m 31 s long and the title is ”Alone Again”. It’s featuring Max Schultz and Magnus Lindgren. Marie already worked together with these 2 musicians in the past. Max Schultz played guitar on Marie’s recordings and the latest cooperation with Magnus Lindgren was the song ”On A Sunday” on Magnus’s album ”Souls” in 2013.

Marie mentioned it earlier that she would love to make a jazz album. Let’s hope there is more to come! So exciting!

Snippet of Marie’s song from Magnus Lindgren’s album

As we reported some weeks ago, the upcoming album by Magnus Lindgren, “Souls”, will feature a song sung by Marie.

In an EPK uploaded to Magnus’ YouTube, Magnus reveals that the song is called “On a Sunday” and that it was written 10 years ago for an album they had been working on together but “was never released”. He also explains that the lyrics were written by Marie and her husband Mikael Bolyos “on a Sunday afternoon”, and thus the title.

You can listen to a short “snippet” of the song, which has been recorded again for this album, in the video below.

The release date of the album is still unknown.

Marie Fredriksson’s new genre: jazz?

Magnus Lindgren is known for being a very talented Swedish jazz musician, a multi-instrumentalist. Roxette fans might know him because he was working together with Marie on some of her earlier projects (The Change, Äntligen). An Indonesian article is writing about Magnus’s forthcoming album, Souls, which Mr. Lindgren will present on SXSW Music Festival* on 16th March, 2013. The article says there are several vocalists featuring on the upcoming album. Guess who is one of them! Yes: our Miss Effe.

We hope that these 4 letters (SXSW) are not a bad omen for premieres and we don’t have to wait as much for the song with Marie as we have to wait for the Small Apartments soundtrack album.
