Dell Summer Rocks Interview!

I did a bunch of interviews after my gig at the Lollapalooza festival in Chicago. Dell had a huge dome there filled with laptops where you could do your own mixtape. They made an interview with me after my gig.
Check it out here:

You can also make your own mixtape:
Dell is rocking all summer with the Dell Summer Rocks tour. Put together your own digital mixtape with one of our songs of course and check out the rest of the tour happenings [here].

Fundraiser winners revealed!

So I had a little fundraiser for my new album a while back, and first of all I would like to say THANK YOU! to all of you that helped fund “Jonestown”. You are all mentioned in the booklet, and I will always remember your generosity. We have randomly picked five of you that will receive the album ahead of the release, and here are the winners (in no particular order):

Carlos Maria Bacigalupo, Argentina
Thierry Cote, Canada
Emil Ekman, Sweden
Matthias Mueller, Germany
Lionel Grenier, France
The album will be sent to you shortly.

I’ve just started a celebrity blog on aftonbladet.com and will write there all through my US-tour. I’m writing about my everyday life, the new album, the tour and my band. As it’s only in Swedish I’ll have a special video-blog in English here on my own website during the tour. For everyone who’d rather read my blog in Swedish, check it out here:

First Jonestown video released

“As summers pass” is the first single released from my third album ‘Jonestown’
With “Jonestown” I’ve further evolved my sound, joining forces with respected artist and producer Tobias Fröberg, who has toured with José Gonzales and produced the artist Peter Morén from “Peter, Bjorn and John”.

You can get the single from ITunes Music Store or from my own store.
