TACK GODE GUD!!!!!!

My day was quite f*ed up today, but this breathtaking news lifts me up so much. :o) Couldn’t imagine anything better than this, wow let’s celebrate! Go dearest Marie!!!

Arlanda said on :

Don’t know what to say ... am just incredibly happy. :)

josefin said on :

This is soo great, to hear about Marie =)

Yesterday I was so pissed off about one Finnish Idols-contestant singing Spending my time (it was horrible!) but now I can forget it ’cause these kind of news just makes you smile and think positive about everything :D

@Sanna - Happy birthday!

This is soooooooo great! It’s nice to read that she’s working on a comeback, longing to perform again and that’s she’s working on an album in English! The best thing is that this shows she’s feeling much and much better. That’s the most important thing!

pardek said on :

this is so great!

I LOVE YOU MARIE!!!!!

tevensso (moderator) said on :

She’s not working on an album in English now, she says she wants her next project to be a solo album in English.

m-cvk said on :

And what about this? Quotes from the interview:

–Marie Fredriksson avslöjar i en exklusiv intervju för Aftonbladet att hon laddar för comeback.
Med en soloplatta på engelska!- Jag ser mycket fram emot det

+
Jobbar med ny skiva
Nu planerar hon för nya sånginsatser.
Hon jobbar redan nu med en ny skiva.
+
Nu till något som många hoppas på - jobbar du på eget material till nästa soloplatta just nu?
- Ja, det gör jag i lugn takt...

I’d translate it as follows (correct me if I’m wrong...I’m not Swedish nor English):

– MF reveals in an exclusive interview for Aftonbladet that she’s ’preparing’ (litterally: ’loading’) for a comeback. With a solo-album in English! - I’m lokking forward to it

+
Working on a new album
Now she’s planning some new vocalrecordings. She’s already working on a new album
+
Now over to something that many people are hoping for - are you working on own material for your next solo-album right now?
- Yes, I’m doing that in a quiet/steady tempo...

tevensso (moderator) said on :

Yes, correct, but she doesn’t mention English until later on in the interview where she replies to the question “Do you have a dream project” where she says “a solo album in English is my NEXT project I look forward to”.

Jud (moderator) said on :

so the question is.. the songs she has recorded so far, are they in english or swedish? ;))))

hope she feels strong and ready to release the(whatever) album soon! longing for her music...

Jud (moderator) said on :

we can go on in the front page :P

m-cvk said on :

@Tevensso: Funny, I was editing (putting more quotes from the interview to my reply) when you were probably replying as well :-)

tevensso (moderator) said on :

LOL :)

m-cvk said on :

:-DDD!
Anyway...it’s great to know that she’s doing much better now and feels well enough to work again!

ally77 said on :

I was having a crap day till now... good work Marie... you made me happier... ;)

Sanna said on :

Thanks Katuska and Paula :)
I don’t care if the next album is in English or in Swedish, the most important thing is that we get a whole new album of Marie’s songs! :):)

Leila said on :

@Sanna
you’ re right.

LoneGunman said on :

He He Hej

Great news... but, after all, will this solo album be in english or swedish ?

All the best
LoneGunman

Eloy said on :

I think it will be in english, it´s time to marie show her music all over the world :) and if she make it the it will be a success :) yes!

m-cvk said on :

I also think that it will be in English...ok, she’s saying that her NEXT project is a solo-album in English...but isn’t the coming recording and album her ’next’ project??? It’s just how you look at it...

aroxa said on :

It’s a Great News... in english in swedish in spanish or french that’s doesn’t matters.... If Marie is working is cuz’ she feel so good!!!!!!
I’m so happy

ally77 said on :

I want the solo album in Swedish, although I am not bothered either way.. it’s great news for us all!!

roxtexanet said on :

I agree with m-vck: It is *so* awesome that Marie is “back to work”... sick people don’t work, even if it’s slow-going, the fact that Marie *wants* to continue with her career is very telling in my opinion. I hope the album she’s working on is in Swedish and the one still in planning is in English, only because that would mean we’ll eventually get two more Marie solo albums instead of one (-: I agree with Judith... I hope she’s talking about the jazz album she’s been dreaming of since 1991 when she says she plans to record in English. Of course, it would be great to have “Bad Moon” and all of the others recorded properly too... they’re great songs and should be heard! Amazing how with just a few words Marie has made my day!

Jud (moderator) said on :

just the thought of hearing marie sing jazz/soul makes me shiver!!! *getting all excited and happy*

Chaghi said on :

Ok, now it has been confirmed by Per too: Marie’s new work is in English. And Per even has listened a bit!!!.

@Judith: I can’t agree more with you! I love all Marie has done so far in Swedish. But it would be *awesome* to finally listen to her doing her beloved jazz/soul album. I’m sure she’ll put ALL her soul on it!

BTW, I envy Per!!!... He has already listened something... and I haven’t :p

purplemedusa said on :

Fantastic News... now all I need is a release date to budget (otherwise I’ll have to go through xtreme messures hehehe)

ally77 said on :

Nooooooooooooooooooooo I want the album in Swedish... awww I am sad now!!

harriej said on :

Curious how Marie would be in English, would be the first time she sings a solo-album in English (I think).

m-cvk said on :

I’m sooooo glad! I love the demos of New World, Remember and Do you wanna go with me? etc :-)

Jud (moderator) said on :

btw, i know it’s crazy but.. didn’t somebody say by the time those demos “appeared” that maybe that was some kind of test to see how her songs in English would do? I know it is weird, freaky, :O but.. didn’t sb think about that last year??? (don’t feel like searching for the threads now :P)

m-cvk said on :

Judith, you are right! I remember that too :-)

tevensso (moderator) said on :

I doubt it, the guy who got the demos got punished bad I heard.

Kiwein1 said on :

And how did they find out who it was? (-;
POOR GUY, happy us , I’d say.. :-P

m-cvk said on :

@Tev: can you tell more about that story??? I’m curious :-)

Majdy said on :

will the album be released worldwide?

roxtexanet said on :

I’m willing to bet that at least a few of those demos will crop up on the new album... (hopefully “Bad Moon” and “Do You Wanna Go With Me” make the cut!)

Jud (moderator) said on :

well maybe in the end those demos were useful in a way.. to prove that Marie rocks in English too, to give her more self-confidence so she dares to release an album in English!! ;)

Remember she always said she is best at Swedish..or not so good at writing in English. So I feel releasing an album in English requires a lot more self-confidence and strength.. and after all she has gone through means she comes back STRONG :D:D:D:D Sb told me she is feeling happy and lot stronger now.. so this is just great!!

Chaghi said on :

It’s a pitty that nobody asked Per about the kind of music in Marie’s new work during the chat... Ok, I know, the topic of the chat wasn’t Marie. But there was plenty of off-topic questions anyway, so letting Per tell us more details about what he already listened to would have been great.
* VERY anxious *

Kiwein1 said on :

I don’t think he would have told us..though it sure would have been worth a question (-:

Chaghi said on :

@Kiwein1: Yea... maybe he would have replied with one of his “jokes”, letting me even more anxious... LOL!

Roxeanne said on :

hej hej!
it’s so great news! really!
but would someone be kind enough to translate the interview?
if i was swedish, i’d do it!
thank you,
love, rox

Chaghi said on :

You mean translate the Aftonbladet’s article? It’s almost translate on TDR... ;)

Roxeanne said on :

well, thank you... :-(

Chaghi said on :

@Roxeanne
Really!
If you mean the Aftonbladet’s interview to Marie, please have a look at:
http://www2.dailyroxette.com/article.php/1445
and (for a complete translation by Chantie & Sarah):
http://www.roxette.nl/nieuws/detail.asp?id=398&la=en
But, if you mean Aftonbladet’s chat with Per, then Linda & Chantie have already translated it to English. Please, have a look at:
http://www.roxette.nl/nieuws/detail.asp?id=401&la=en
Hope that helps.

Roxeanne said on :

merry christmas,
rox
