I wonder if this topic will get a reply, probably not, but
Not a topic for those who like Rock......
but if Pure catchy 80’s Pop/Disco/R&B is what you like... the Swedish style.... this guy is Super! :)
He produced, wrote, and sang all of his material... similar to what Bosson does today.... but I think much better because 80’s Ruled. I guess he’s like Swedish version of George Michael with a touch of Michael jackson... but with a bit simpler lyrics...... and Much much catchier melodies and more synth sound.
In the 90’s Paul was the writer of Christina Aguilera’s ’baby come on over” song as well as songs for some other pop acts.... but it’s not as good as the 80’s material. Sadly the allpowerful American $ won.... and Paul turned to the teen-pop darkside.
Oh yeah, And for those Gay Roxette fans who like Per.... check out Paul in the 80’s :O

Paul Rein is a very talented man. But I’ve heard that he nowadays tend to work more with music for commercials. It would be great if he released some new solo material.
