I really like the song....
I really liked the song, wasn't expecting much from them when I heard about them a while ago, but after hearing their sound I'm excited for them.
Hi,
very interesting, thanks for sharing.
BTW, they always wrote "David Krüger (tm)" and I was not sure if they really meant David Kreuger, thanks for clearing it up!
Do you know the guys by any chance. :)
Nice to see ASIDE are back. I still wonder where their studio now is located, their former studio has been taken over by Rami and Carl.
The song is really catchy. Great to see some behind the scene stuff.
Nice articles:

The current single is called "Blame it on you" written by Kronlund and QuizLarossi.
Finally a Swedish boyband that could be succesful next to EMD. :)

Ha! Great tip and it really sounds so much One Direction that I would it think it's them. Promising debut, I don't know how well British-sounding boy band should work internationally when it comes from Sweden but guys should have qualitative music stuff and not to get lost in Sweden. Sweden seems to like One Direction.
Probably this song is also for Youngblood:

wow, I love "Blame it on you", great song.
I wanna comment on this but I keep on forgetting! I think it's a really good track actually!
It's nice to see that our Cheiron-ers are focusing on pop boybands again!
They sang "Last Christmas" on TV.

QuoteYoungblood – 'Youngblood'
(Fredrik Kempe, David Kreuger)
We really can't see how this one could fail in ANY way. Five strapping young chaps (Simon (to the far left) is our favourite!) with a song penned by Fredrik Kempe. Like Ulrik Munther last week, we see this as another guaranteed finalist. And we don't mind so much this time around, because we have high expectations for their song too.
More information here:

Schedule:
Thursday afternoon we will get a 1 min live rehearsal snippet
Saturday 2 pm the full studio version will revealed
Saturday 8 pm Youngblood will perform live

QuoteAnd the song is a typical boy band shit with a rousing chorus à la Eric Saades Manboy. Behind the scenes, the guys backed up by huskörsmedlemmarna Kristian taje and Therese Löf and their körkillen Emil Heiling.
Emil sang lots of background vocals for Cheiron productions.
David Kreuger is in the arena and probably will be on Saturday, so we get to see him when they present the writers ;)

I loved the song although I thought it sounded a bit like "Popular".
I can't wait to hear their album!

Fredrik Thomander :o :o :o YAAAAAAAAAAAY!!! I knew there's something keeps me coming back for them, LOL!
Yeees Epicentre and Cheiron... this band is my thang!
I just asked them in the chat and they answered:
Hi Youngblood, how was it working with David Kreuger and Jörgen Elofsson, those two Swedish songwriting veterans?
Youngblood: It was a great honour working with Fredrik, David and Jörgen. We are really looking forward to our album release on wednesday! :)
They didn't make it but the album is out on Wednesday.

Album sounds great, "Sleep on it" is probably a left-over from the good old Gareth Gate times.
Amazing , pure pop!!
The first half of the album is really good, American Girlfriend is the standout in the album,
and true about Sleep on it, it sounds like a Gareth Gates track.

Outside Boy and Running Home to You sound like Westlife or Shayne Ward songs. Pretty amazed with the album.
"American Girlfriend" is my favourite off the snippets.
Cant wait to get the album!
