ERIC SAADE (2011) INSPIRED BY
ROBYN
Eric Saade was one of the most popular participants in Eurovision this year. He participated for Sweden with the song “Popular” and he reached the 3rd place (2nd in Televoting only). Because of his success we were all waiting a European step, but unfortunately he decided to do live performances in his country Sweden this summer. As he said “I haven’t got the time to prioritize a serious international career right now. Having said that, I’ve signed a record deal that covers 22 countries, brought out my single Hearts In The Air in Norway, so I guess you could say things are moving. But of course, it will take time to establish myself as an act in other countries; it took me five years to make it in Sweden.”
Eric is one of the most promising pop artists in Sweden and he made a big hit with his new album Saade Vol. 1. His new club music style was 100% by him and that’s why he believes that this album is truly himself. A thing that you don’t maybe know is that there will be a second part of his album, Saade Vol. 2. The inspiration as he states came from Robyn “It was Robyn who inspired me to release my album in two parts. Saade Vol. 2 is due for release in November. I think that’s the future. If you’re going to release music, then you should release a lot of it at the same time. That approach really appeals to me.” We are looking forward for Eric’s new album, to discover him even more.
