I'm not sure if she will be an ANY hit wonder yet :cry:
Agnes: 'Release Me'

 

Released on Monday, May 18 2009

 

Got room for another Scando-pop diva in your life? If so, allow us to introduce Agnes Carlsson, a 21-year-old former Swedish Idol champion who's already notched up a trio of platinum albums in her homeland. Her USP? A set of pipes that place her closer to Leona than Kylie in the belting stakes.

 

'Release Me', her UK debut single, is a far classier Europop banger than September and Velvet have been dishing up recently - the all-conquering chorus and thumping beats are present and correct, but this has lashings of strings and lavish production flourishes too. Call it a Waitrose organic pork and apple to their Tesco Value jobbies.

Ooh, nice review, and big site. I am pretty certain now that this will go AT LEAST top 40 :)

love that review, it certainly is quality, 10x better than September's songs and 100x better than Velvet's :heehee:

 

I heard it at work yesterday for the first time (on Asda FM :funky:), good times they were putting out microwaves with Release Me in the background :heehee:

Getting good TV support, #4 on 4Music Top 10 yesterday. I disagree that this is better than September's stuff though.
i LOVE Release Me, but Agnes has nothing on September, not to mention her amazing back catalogue. I'd put her in the same league as Velvet.

I'm pretty sure this'll have similar success as 'Cry For You' which would be brilliant!

Loving this song now after thinking it was pretty bland to start with. ^_^

Bonkers is surefire top 3. Star Pilots between 9 and 14 I think. Agnes looks like being the casualty :snif:

:cry: it's not on iTunes

 

I thought it was due for release this week :(

 

oh well, i'll buy it next week instead

she's so much better than Velvet for me, Velvet's voice is strong but lacks character, whereas Agnes' voice is powerful and distinctive

 

I can't deny that September's back catalogue is one hell of a lot better than Agnes' back catalogue though, September has had some stunning pop/dance songs, but for me personally, Release Me is better than all of them :heart: none of her other material is though

Heard it on a French mainstream radio today, I got all surprised :o

 

Not too much into it yet, but it isn't a bad song.

Totally love this song at the moment :D Can't stop singing it over and over in my head :P

 

Downloaded the album as well and I love that too :D

Bizzare! Le swedish pop ees not seau populaire en France, non? :kink:

Oh well, that's true. But I don't think Alcazar ever had a hit there :kink:
