Poland has got great possibility to spend this New Year's Eve with Ace Of Base performing at Polish TV with pretty big set of old hits - mostly old ones "Life is A Flower", "All That She Wants", "The Sign", "Beautiful Life" but logically with "All For You" performing new band's music.
Confidence of girls is growing, there's still big place for improvement when it comes to Julia's vocal but bringing more show to performance is undoubtfully positive thing. With beautiful huge stage and lights whole set was properly spectacular and dynamic.

Weekend has started so let's celebrate it with doze of dance-music! From today till Sunday night I'm gonna present you some recent nice mixes I haven't told about but undoubtfully should. So let's start with first three!
Participant of Melodifestivalen-2011 - Jenny Silver has released pack of mixes from Soundfactory for her single "A Place To Stay" right before Stockholm Pride this year. Jenny unfortunately didn't qualify to finals but turned to be one the highest non-qualifiing entries this year (#12). We wonder a lot if Jenny's solo-career will go further as this March she was presenting some other really good new songs in Stockholm and sure Soundfactory's works are always what gets to our spot.

Thanx to Planet Salem for mentioning new amazing mash-up of Axwell & Ingrosso feat. Salem al Fakir's "It's True" and smash hit of Kylie Minogue's "Get Outta My Way". Before this year collaboration of Salem with Swedish House Mafia was one of the brightest highlights of Salem's discography so talented variations of this great track are always welcome!

And finally here's video-tratment for Mikey's Dance Version Remix of the latest Ace Of Base single "All For You" - this is probably most close to original and radio-friendly mix so hope you'll like it as well.

Another huge Swedish export pride of Sweden Ace Of Base presents video for their debut single "All For You" as well today. Not only premiere of new single but also premiere of new band's staff for many who haven't found changes in band yet. Video is black and white and due to AOB's facebook page there's gonna be another coloured version. Girls in underwear and high heels sexually rolling on their big bed, guys are playing synths, paparazzi are hunting for the band to get their photo and finally Ace Of Base's presenting in front of a huge mass of people. I think it's gonna look completely in colour but maybe black and white video is necessary to mark band's comeback to roots in music direction?

Probably I'm a bit late about new single of new Ace Of Base "All For You" but I've been waiting for a high-quality version to judge myself and you let you judge rightfully. Finally you can hear it below.
What can we say about the song. It's 100% what you can expect from Swedish dance-pop song - nice tune, lovely vocal performance, synth-breathing but quite poppy-arrangement and skillful production in common, it's all there. Problem about "All For You" is the status of old Ace Of Base as one of the biggest export-bands of Sweden, having legendary name it's difficult to make a huge comeback after a long break with just a good pop-stuff, you need to provide a new legendary hits which will be able to get new audience and compete with band's previous masterpieces. Can "All For You" be such a huge comeback-hit? I'm not sure it will be easy. Band is in the process of sending their single all around and big name will help to bring some attention to the song but it feels like public will need some real mind-blowing future singles. We have quite a lot of credits for Ace Of Base so let's relax and enjoy this nice song.

Finally new single "All for You" of new Ace Of Base has arrived and now I'm officially excited with what we got! And what we got is very lovely 30-seconds sample representing best traditions of Swedish pop with nice vocals (cold but attracting), lovely and catchy tune and taste of AOB of 90s with modernized sound. Is it gonna be a hit? Yes, I'm sure it is and though the band with new female half for me is totally new project but very welcome now.
