ERIC SAADE, “Girl From Sweden”
I was curious to find out what would arrive next from Swedish star Eric Saade after the rollicking Melodifestivalen entry “Sting” (currently #5 on my chart). That song is more pop/rock oriented and in your face than other tunes from the talented singer. So it’s fitting that he turns to indulge in a song directed to his own country. “Girl From Sweden” is a catchy piece of hip hop-influenced business that will be a real crowd-pleaser, and I want his record company to resist the temptation to include a featured artist in a remix, let Eric own this one himself! I will definitely direct fans of Maroon 5 to this one. And the video is one of Eric’s best as the singer abandons bike, jacket, and shoes out in the countryside in favour of a skateboard and boating activities – oh and there’s lots of dancing with pretty girls in the middle of nowhere. Along with “Sting”, “Girl From Sweden” is one of the best showcases in a while for Eric Saade. You can pick it up on iTunes.
