Hi guys, here is a video/documentary about Nineties music, most of it talking about Cheiron Studios. It's in Swedish, however Backstreet Boys talk about Denniz and Max. Also there's a lot of really great footage:

Just look at their hair, also Shellback's :D
There are so many amazing details in this documentry. Denniz wearing a Cheiron t-shirt.
And never heard of Johan Järpsten before. Wonder why he wasn't a big influence at Cheiron too.
And what does Lisa Miskovsky tell? Especially about "Shape of my heart". Is there a music video where the Cheiron studios are featured?

In the studio there is also the very young Jessica F, isn't she.

I wouldn't call it details, but anyway I need this shirt!!!
I also thought it's Jessica but she looks a bit too black in my opinion :D maybe she lost some color over the years lol ...
btw the google translation of the text:
Part 8 of 10: Cheiron studio taking over the world Part 8 of 10: Cheiron studio taking over the world. 1997, Backstreet Boys, his breakthrough with the album Backstreet's Back. A disc was written and produced in Cheiron studio Fridhemsplan in Stockholm.
Amazing documentary!!
Great find Rebecca, thanks... very enjoyable. I especially liked the bit where Lisa was accusing Max of stealing her song and giving it to bsb and suing him in court for millions. Just kidding, I have no idea what she was saying!

Just found out that it's not Jessica but Gladys Del Pilar. Thanks to Tiiger for letting me know. Embarassing. :-[
Thanks Rebecca -- such a great film to watch on a Sunday morning!

"They had heard my song and asked if I could come to Stockholm. I did not know who Martin was. I thought he must be some good songwriter. I knew nothing when we came to the studio for the first time. I was picked up and was driven to the Cheiron studio. Outside, if I remember correctly, it was a bunch of teenage girls. They drew with chalk on the ground and some had teddy bears with them. When we went through there, I felt that they gave aggressive looks. It almost felt a bit threatening, so I hurried out. They probably thought I was somebody's girlfriend. So I got in a hurry. I got there at six or seven in the evening. We held on to seven or eight the next morning. I thought, this is crazy. Is this how they work? I was completely exhausted. Martin said, Do you understand what that means? It was amazing that an international band used my song. Only much later did I realize how big it was. Why I enjoyed no more of my time on Cheiron? It was fantastic. I can be angry at myself over it."
Thanks rhytmic5. So cool. They really saw the special something in Lisa's track and made it an all-time-classic pop song.
Thanks Rhythmic5 for the translation!
It's amazing that they worked throughout the night
oh btw, I didn't find this video, a guy from Sweden emailed me the link.

Amazing , ''Shape of my heart'' is one of the best Max songs ever.
from this documentary we learnt that.
max martin is truely gifted when it comes to writing music
max martin did play in a band called its alive
denniz pop worked for ace of base and swemix
the 90s were a great decade for cheiron
backstreet boys sold more then 5 million in the first week
backstreet boys were one of the biggest boy bands of that time

Agreed.
I read years ago in a interview that said 'shape of my heart' was the backstreet boys least fave song or it was their least fave song to sing. =)
I always assumed that they were working with Lisa on the song and during the process decided to give it to BSB. I never considered they just heard her version and wanted to use it. I think the song has always been considered a poorer "I Want It That Way", but in my books it packs more emotion and is just as good if not better. Linda, I'd say it's the latter, it wouldn't be one of their easiest songs to perform. I know they said they weren't big fans of "If You Want It To Be Good Girl" and couldn't understand why fans went crazy for it.
Thank you!!!
