Two more videos have been released. In the studio listening to "The one who loves you most" and this impressive video of the orchestra playing the strings.

It's gorgeous.


QuoteThroughout the whole album we have had the great opportunity to work with Stockholm Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and in this clip you see all the 60 strings conducted by producer/arranger Peter Nordahl. Feel free to sing along with the strings!





And the video from the studio:

I love how Jörgen and so many other writers record real strings. Westlife's songs also had real orchestras playing the strings.
And I liked it..

THANK YOU,  Turnaround!!!  Made my morning.  Cool to see  them listening to playback, and that orchestral video is incredible.......inexpressible beauty.   They must have overdubbed the pizzicato strings part later, because on the record -- second verse -- pizzicato strings double that piano hook melody.  Anyway, this whole song is a masterpiece.

I didn't realise they used such a large orchestra, it really does add a new dimension to the song. Good point about Jörgen using strings often, now that I think of songs like "If I Let You Go" and "My Love", it's so obvious!

It's interesting watching Jörgen standing in the back of the studio, it's like he's full of nervous energy watching it all come together.

I think he was kind of irritated that they talked during listening the song.

Here are album snippets.

I did wonder that too, he looks a little frustrated. But then I figured it was more his own anticipation of how it would sound.

I'll give the snippets a listen shortly.

EDIT: Oh wow, this is some pure Cheiron gold. Huge respect to Jörgen for capturing the ABBA essence, which in it's similarities gives me chills of late 90's Cheiron as well. Beautiful melodies through and through. If anything, the only track I'm not liking so far is "Back On Your Radio", but I'll wait for the full version. Also I wasn't a huge fan of the noticeable auto-tune on a couple of tracks, but apart from that, awesome!

Full-quote worthy here Joshua.  8)

Oh and "Dance your pain away" gets great reviews on blogs.

Just a few examples.

I guess it could become another gay-club classic like "Crying in the discoteque".
And I liked it..

It's an excellent album. Congratulations Jorgen.

Agnetha was at G-A-Y bar in London (no performance, as she won't perform at all anymore)

But guess who was also there :D

They're doing some decent promo for this, YouTube Australia have ads running and last night on Aussie TV was a special on one of our current affairs programs featuring an interview with Agnetha.
