Posted October 8, 201113 yr http://cdon.se/media-dynamic/images/product/music/album/image0/saade_vol2_2011_signerad-15065688-frntl.jpg I believe it is down for a November release. Anyway I am mucho excited about it given how good Vol, 1 was. Much better cover too, what a HOT PIC.
October 8, 201113 yr Ooft. That pic is the best I've seen him look :wub: Anyway, on the topic of the music - fingers crossed this is better than Vol. 1, which was good enough but slightly weak on the whole. It just wasn't really all there...
October 8, 201113 yr I hope it's a LOT better, so far I remain underwhelmed by everything but It's Gonna Rain and Popular. Decent cover though!
October 8, 201113 yr Author This is how I would rate Vol. 1 08 Timeless 10 Hearts In The Air 10 Me & My Radio 08 Made Of Pop 08 Popular (Remix) 07 Someone New 09 Killed By A Cop 08 Big Love 10 Stupid With You 09 Echo 08 Still Loving It 11 Popular
October 8, 201113 yr 07.0 Timeless 07.5 Hearts In The Air 07.5 Me & My Radio 08.0 Made Of Pop 07.5 Popular (Remix) 06.5 Someone New 08.5 Killed By A Cop 06.5 Big Love 08.0 Stupid With You 08.5 Echo 08.0 Still Loving It 11.0 Popular Ok, there's nothing that I hate on the album but considering I'm quite generous with ratings (not Tom Kay style generous though!), to only have one song that I consider worthy of above 8.5 is surprising for a Swedish pop album...
October 8, 201113 yr Author I'm quite generous with my ratings too, but I really do think the album is corking. It's generic, but that's not a bad thing as it's packed with strong melodies, good production and I've always found Eric's voice very listenable, if limited technically. Anyway I think if Vol. 2 can produce anything approaching the levels of Popular, I'll be more than pleased.
October 8, 201113 yr Much better cover, much better. And as IF Popular is an 11. Clear 13/10 moment there.
October 8, 201113 yr Popular is BRILLIANT but barely anything else on the album stuck for me. It was great background music but little more - there wasn't much I could get properly excited over It's Gonna Rain-style.
October 8, 201113 yr Popular is BRILLIANT but barely anything else on the album stuck for me. It was great background music but little more - there wasn't much I could get properly excited over It's Gonna Rain-style. Killed By A Cop and Echo excited me for about a week and then I promptly got over them and haven't listened since :drama: Popular and It's Gonna Rain show that he's capable of GREATNESS so generic 'international' club filler that Vol.1 is packed with just bores me in comparison. Popular is more the sort of sound that he should be going for, still 'clubby' but with a schlager influence. Lord knows there's enough 'club bangers' around these days without Swedish stars needing to resort to doing them.
October 9, 201113 yr Any news on a Tracklisting? I can't see it being amazing.. Probably something like this: 01. Popular 02. Hearts In The Air 03. Killed By A Cop 04. Popular (Remix) 05. New Song 06. New Song 07. New Song that sounds JUST LIKE Popular 08. Popular (Acoustic) 09. Popular (Live) Seriously. Vol 1 just came out.. and that wasn't anywhere NEAR as good as his first album. I don't anticipate much out of this.
October 9, 201113 yr EEEEE, I do love a bit of Eric :wub: That cover is great aswell, the cover for Vol. 1 wasn't bad, but this is undoubtedly much better.

I don't anticipate much out of this. Is this not going to be entirely new material? I had assumed it would be. And even if it's not I highly doubt there are going to be four versions of Popular on a 9 track album. I think after Vol. 2 he might do a compilation of the two, at least I hope so. I want a full album of new tracks!
October 9, 201113 yr Author He said at the time of Vol.1 that they had enough great songs for 2 full albums. I can see them maybe tacking a remix/alternative version of Popular on because it's the big hit, but I fully expect a 9/10 track new album.
October 17, 201113 yr Cover for the next single: http://lowculture.co.uk/scandi/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/ericsaade.jpg The fact it features DEV doesn't exactly fill me with excitement.
October 17, 201113 yr Dev managed to make a Demi Lovato collab work, so I see no reason that this shouldn't be as amazing as Who's That Boy! Dev usually pulls it off, fingers crossed for this!
October 17, 201113 yr Well, there's something about that cover that makes it look good. It's a combination of the reflection in his sunglasses and his body language. He looks rather cool there. Looking forward to hearing it in any case. Dev should be fine, I'm sure.
October 17, 201113 yr Is anyone else seeing the 'Feat. Dev' as a sign that this is going to get a proper international push or is that just me?
