:( It seems nobody is really talking about how good Kristian is as a musician and producer. He has made some really amazing songs! On his collaborations with Max Martin, while Max does the lyrics and sings backing vocals, Kristian's the one doing the drums, playing keyboards and mixing most of the songs. He always has a happy upbeat sound and great energy to his music. He also has his own way of playing keyboard that always stands out (kind of quick and bouncy) and happy! Kristian is the best eurodance producer, he's also brilliant with his dance-pop and reggae as well. Some great examples of his work are...
- Amadin : U make me feel alright.
- Dr. Alban : Let the beat go on.
- Army of Lovers : King Midas.
- E-Type : Angels crying, Here I go again, Life.
- Backstreet Boys : Larger than life, I want it that way, The one.
- *NSYNC : Tearin' up my heart, Bye Bye Bye, I'll never stop.
- Britney Spears : Born to make you happy, Can't make you love me.
- Celine Dion : That's the way it is, I'm alive.
- Jessica Folcker : To be able to love.
- And many more!!! :D
Hi tommy and welcome to the forum.
Kristian is a great writer and producer(I prefer Max and Jorgen Elofsson).
I love the song THAT GIRL(will never be mine) and DISCONNECTED by lindsay lohan.
I hope he wil write other songs like that.
AFTER 16 YEArs....... :smt041 :smt041 30 may Stock Aitken Waterman to come back with their new single!!!!!!!!!! :smt038
Oh absolutely!
Kristian is definitely amazing. I really must revisit his songs.
My favourite is Britney's Born To Make You Happy
also as Alex mentioned Nsync's That Girl Will Never Be Mine. also I love Just Don't Tell Me That then Bye Bye Bye of course and I'll Never Stop
and Backstreet Boys Not For Me
and well I could go on and on
Yes, Kristian has been a bit overlooked, thanks for starting a thread about him Tommy.
After Max and Rami, my next favourite songwriter is Kristian then Andreas Carlsson then I could go on and on.
I love Kristian & his turtlenecks!

Of the Cheiron guys, he's definitely the best after Denniz. :idea:
Of course I really like him, but somehow as I mentioned already he seems not really write very much songs these days anymore.
I can't wait to hear "Ring my bell" in full, the snippet sounds tempting.
My faves by Kristian:
The Greatest Reward - Celine Dion
To be able to love - Jessica Folcker
Tonight - Jessica Folcker
How will I know - Jessica Folcker
Amazing - Westlife
Obvious - Westlife
These songs are in my all-time fave list! :D
^ What's 'Ring My Bell'?
It's a song that will be on Enrique Iglesias' album written by Savan, Enrique and Kristian.
You could hear a bit of the song in the commercial for Tommy Hilfiger

Thanks Princess for the pic of Kristian.
I posted that as a joke because of the turtleneck he always wore. There's actually quite a few pictures of him online though.

Yes, I agree his turtleneck is very funny - maybe this was the fashion at the time, but still funny.
I've seen a few photos of him, but yeah, feel free to post any more.
Thanks Princess.
I like the ones on his myspace, some of Max and the other Cheiron songwriters there too.

More news about Kristian friend Bryan todd
Most recently Bryan Todd has formed OFFBEAT MUSIC GROUP in early 2006! Bryan had a vision of creating a musical community much like he had seen from Max Martin's (Cheiron) or Bagg and Arnthor's (Murlyn Music) in Sweden. OFFBEAT is a full service Music Production, Publishing and Record Company based in Los Angeles and has an admin deal with Warner/Chappell.
that is what i call news

To speak in the words of a famous Kazak reporter: NICE! I LIKE!!! :smt023
in my opinion kristian lundin is one of the most interesting producers in contemporary pop music production. the way he and the other guys produce, arrange and mix their stuff is really unique and incomparable. Starting with Max and the others from Cheiron to use their special kind of arrangement technique (short intro with chorus influences-verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge and now! : refrain (modulated) with backing vocals...) which you can hear in all their first hits (backstreet boys, n sync, britney...
When Kristian did I´m Alive for Céline i was completely like : Shit - That´s just toooooooooo good !
I have never heard or seen anything like this before ! This song has such a fresh arrangement-structure ! There isn´t really a kind of "verse or refrain" but somehow it works perfectly ! The way Céline and the typical swedish backing vocals melt together at the end takes my breath away !! The whole song has an incredible cool groove, superbe sounds and the melody and harmonies are just perfect. So the lyrics. The way andreas c. + kristian are combining words and music is incredible. the words "...call (on me)..." + "...hear (you breathe)..." + "...wings (to fly..." + "...feel (that i´m alive)... are putted on a long tone and the fact that these words are the basic vowels of pop music which allow the singer to create fantastic sound shows how perfect this track is for one of the most distinctive voices in the world ;-)
Wonderful description anthem!
I am also amazed by this song, and Celine is a favourite artists of mine anyway, so she recording Cheiron song is like perfect match to me!
Welcome by the way, great to have another German member!!
welcome anthem26
that is a great description of I'm Alive
My favorite Kristian is his Amadin days & his early stuff with Dr. Alban. There are a few later pop songs he did that were great, like Tearin' Up My Heart, but his later 'adult contemporary' stuff is boring & not the same. Dance music is what he excels at above anything, in my opinion.
