Posted September 8, 200618 yr http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/5d/Cover_laf.jpg After their #29 SMASH HIT :smoke: debut 'Losing A Friend' back in July, the 4 piece Icelandic girlgroup are returning to the UK charts in October with new Doube A Side single 'Closer' & 'Sweet Dreams' CLOSER [flash=450,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-YB9C5Zfmk.swf Not heard the other song yet but 'Closer' seems a bit of a 'Whole Lotta History' rip-off if you ask me - they're going for another ballad but this one has more potential to be a bigger hit than 'Losing A Friend' if promoted the right way. I love it personally :wub: It's out on October 9th and the video has been added to The Box today so let us share opinions :kink:
September 8, 200618 yr This probably do better than LAF simply because it'll have been on the video channels longer than the 2 weeks prior to release that LAF got. I'm not fussed on this thus far, I need to give it a few listens, sounds a little MOR
September 8, 200618 yr Author If anybody has an MP3 link for this do do send :kink: I can't find it on my download programme :smoke:
September 8, 200618 yr I prefer it to 'Losing A Friend' on the first listen, but it's still pretty average. It doesn't have any edge to it.
September 8, 200618 yr The other one is a real bast*rdisation of Eurythmics 'Sweet dreams' - AWFUL! This isn't too bad, but nowhere near as good as 'Losing a friend' on first listen. Hope its a grower!
September 8, 200618 yr Author Have they really massacred 'Sweet Dreams'? :o I have just been listening to the origianl too.
September 8, 200618 yr I don't like this :puke2: Very MOR and well dull :( 'Losing A Friend' is MUCH better -_-
September 9, 200618 yr I think its a half decent song but another ballad? They all seem to have good voices but can't Icelandic girl groups do anything apart from ballads? Tbh I think this won't do as well as their #29 hit LAF and I atm can see it struggling to get top 40. I think that it being released so early for an artist so small as them, may work against them and make the single suffer as a result.
September 10, 200618 yr I really like this .. BUT Losing A Friend is far better :wub: but this one is much more of a grower than Losing A Friend was, so I guess it's all good :P lol I hope they release an album sometime soon :o they're really good :wub:
October 26, 200618 yr i'm hoping for an album to get released after this week's hmmm "charting". :lol: Amazon says the 6th November, so I hope it doesnt get canned :( Me wants!
October 26, 200618 yr I bought the CD single this week as I've never seen either song on Limewire lol...both tracks are great in my opinion...they add a certain Icelandic charm to Sweet Dreams-the lead singer has a hypnotic accent :-) Her name is something ridiculous though...
October 26, 200618 yr I like them; but that's all. They are nothing special [although I do own both their singles....]
October 27, 200618 yr Oooooh, I do love Sweet Dreams now! I want the album now, anyone know where to get an import?
October 27, 200618 yr I'm seeing them live in 5 days! :o Have to say I like this track more the LAF. :D
October 29, 200618 yr Oooooh, I do love Sweet Dreams now! I want the album now, anyone know where to get an import? according to play and Amazon, it's out on the 6th Nov
November 6, 200618 yr Author Woolworths not even stocking it? :lol: I'd put it on my Christmas list if I could actually be bothered. The novelty wore off ages ago much like the one trick pony ala Ms Betty Curse.
