Posted April 3, 201114 yr http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mWmyFlNs_AM/TXvqGUe5qSI/AAAAAAAAE6o/ZmSTI8Nb3_M/s320/DannySaucedo.jpg Some big plans are afoot for one of Scandinavian pop music’s most celebrated boys – Danny Saucedo is coming to the UK! Island Records have signed Danny and will be releasing his first ever UK single in the next few months. Rather than go with any of the cuts from his new Swedish album ‘In The Club’ though, they’ve instead gone back through his old catalogue and plucked one of his classic tunes, perhaps in the hope of scoring a more likely hit with it. They’ve chosen ‘If Only You’. The song has of course already had a bit of a past. It was included on his first album ‘Heart Beats’ as a solo track. Then at the end of the campaign, it was re-recorded as a duet with Therese, which then went on to become a number 1 single in Sweden. The new version was then included as a bonus track on Danny’s second album, ‘Set Your Body Free’. As you would expect, Island Records have now re-recorded the track again to bring it up to 2011′s sound. However, and this is somewhat surprising given her previous success in the UK, they’ve taken the decision to remove Therese from the song and replace her with a much lesser known female vocalist, Freja. This does seem quite odd to us, but then we imagine there were well thought out reasons behind the decision. Revolving vocalists aside though, it’s already clear that Island are keen to give this a big push in the UK, as they’ve gone and commissioned four remixes for the single. As well as remixes from Club Junkies, Electric Allstars, and the always amazing 7th Heaven, they’ve also forked out for a mix by Manhattan Clique, who’ve recently done remixes for the likes of Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, The Saturdays, Chris Brown, Keri Hilson, Katy Perry, Lily Allen, La Roux, Mylene Farmer, Nelly Furtado, Moby, Goldfrapp, Alphabeat, Timbaland, and Example! Wow great to see he is finally releasing in the UK, not sure about the choice of single but if it has been remixed then we'll see ^_^ Clips of Club Junkies and 7th Heaven remixes. xZzgeJ72d30
April 3, 201114 yr He could be big with something like 'In The Club' - this is a bad launch single IMO :(
April 3, 201114 yr I loved this song for a minute, but that was years, YEARS ago. Isn't it from like 2008 or 2009? Very late for UK to discover the song.
April 3, 201114 yr Yeah i totally love Danny and have done for years :wub: glad he's been given a chance (though it will inevitably amount to nothing) If Only You feat Therese is pretty decent but I wouldn't say it's his best, looking forward to hearing the updated version though!
April 3, 201114 yr I am a huge Danny fan, so glad he is releasing here. However not sure If Only You is the best choice of debut single.... I think In The Club would have been a better choice!
April 3, 201114 yr I pretty much echo the above comments. Glad to see him coming to the UK (although I can see it going the same way as Anna Abreu's memorable UK launch as opposed to Agnes' for example) but this song is ancient and In The Club is as current as it gets.
April 3, 201114 yr Agree with pretty much all of the above - glad about the UK launch but I think ITC would actually give him a chance. Sadly, I can see him doing an Ola/Anna Abreu :( EDIT; Just looked at Wiki and this song is from mid 2007! :o It'd be like Bleeding Love or About You Now being released now overseas! Then again, Will Young released Leave Right Now as his debut US single last year, 7yrs on :o (though it was off the back of promo on Idol, as the exit song) Edited April 3, 201114 yr by Liаm
May 7, 201114 yr dOEIbRFtk38 Explicit version of the video [WARNING CONTAINS BREASTS] I am not really a fan of Freyja's vocals. I think the solo version is the best, closely followed by Danny and Theresa [sp?] The video doesn't particulaly go with the song does it..... It was filmed in the joys of Ipswich in Suffolk (how did I not know Danny was this close to me :P) Uk release date is July 4th
May 10, 201114 yr Umm the video and the song are totally incongruous, but both are very good in their own right.
May 10, 201114 yr I'm guessing it was the Freja version on Chart Show TV? I prefer the Danny/Therese version honestly. I could see being quite a hit with support - I wouldn't get too excited about Chart Show TV - they played Butterflies by Tone Damli, and we all know how that went chartwise... :cry:
May 10, 201114 yr :cry: #231 on the iTunes chart Although Tone did manage to make the top30 of the airplay chart and be the most played artist on BBC Radio 2 while she was a-listed. :snif: Shall we all have a moment of silence for the utter tragedy that was Butterflies chart position.
May 10, 201114 yr I absolutely love this song, I love Danny in general.. I am so happy this is finally getting a release. Considering it's almost 4 years old and sounds so current just goes to show how europop really has taken over! They were well ahead of the game. I really hope this does well!!

It made #2 in Norway at least :kink:
May 11, 201114 yr this song is just brilliant! had it on repeat all day. hope its huge here. could be this years "release me" :wub:
