cool
about time-he is a bit young and overated mind. I like Frida Hyvönen more. She is a bit funnier and more ladylike.
The Opposite Of Hallelujah
is a great song, although it seems almost a waste of a track seeing as he released it two years ago. Still, looking forward to the album.
YESSSSSSSS!
This is my final album to be REALLY excited about this year...
Friday Night is an amazing pop song, the slow down bit is so good. But the album closer? That's rubbish!
I've also already heard The Opposite of Hallelujah, And I Remember Every Kiss and different versions of Your Arms Around Me (he replaces the word "avocado" with "watermelon"; both work) - as much as I love them all, I hope he records new versions...
It's so rare nowadays I find an album of completely new songs - curse of the internet age, I guess.
Also, I love the track titles. So Jens...
also it comes out in Scandinavia earlier, so I should hear it sometime next month. YAY!
haha
but also
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
ooh
