Few weeks after release of comeback single "Ditt Hjärta" Jimmy Jansson's presenting brand new video!
Video is in nice way let us not only listen but see what is new Jimmy about - so we get more adult and deep image of schlager-Jimmy that we used to see before. It's all about sharp feelings in broken mirrors, Jimmy playing in red light with band and misterious girl leaving Jimmy in love drama.
If you didn't listen this beautiful pop-rock song with Kent's vibes and here's your second chance, not that I'm not give you another one but still you shouldn't miss it this time!

And third great comeback was made today by Jimmy Jansson! Surprisingly he's coming back without his surname and with quite new sound.
Jimmy is just 25 but he can easily be called schlager-veteran as all his music career last 8 years was rolling around schlager. Firstly he appeared in front of big audience at Melodifestivalen-2002, that year he performed in band Poets with the song "What Difference Does It Make" and though guys didn't reach final Jimmy has made it alone later in 2005. After his previous attempt he has gone through Bert Karlsson's school - Fame Factory where he has met his sweetheart Sandra Dahlberg, they lived together quite long time and got son Wilmer in 2007. In 2005 song "Vi Kan Gunga" put him on 6th place of Melodifestivalen final but it wasn't his last participation as he came back in 2007 with song "Amanda" written by Thomas G:Son (who wrote "What Difference Does It Make") that reached Second Chance and stuck there. Later "Amanda" was covered by Spanish band D'NASH (they won Spanish selection to Eurovision with "I Love You Mi Vida" also written by G:Son).
Year before Jimmy presented new band Svea Kafé performing as frontman with musicians of Fashion/The Pusher. Svea Kafé released debut single "För Din Skull" that musically was somewhere between new The Pusher's music and old Jimmy's albums, however it sounded quite fresh but the band existed not too long and Jimmy is back solo.
New single "Ditt Hjärta" is recognizable Jimmy Jansson but more adult with light touch of old pop-rock Kent's sound and lovely pop-melody, emotional, gentle and beautiful.
I should mention that all Jimmy's albums reached Top-10 and all but one singles Top-5 so it can easily become new Jimmy's success!

Swedish stage has got new great duo and what makes it greater is that it consists of two loveliest artists - Jonathan Fagerlund and Sandra Dahlberg. Both are quite familiar for Swedish-pop lovers.
In a short Sandra Dahlberg originally started career on talent-show Fame Factory, performed twice on Melodifestivalen ("Här stannar jag kvar", "Jag tar det jag vill ha"), lived long time together and gave a birth to son Vilmer with another Fame Factory-Melodifestivalen artist Jimmy Jansson and though year before she's made comeback with the single "Ta på mig", it wasn't quite successfull and the single wasn't even released being very worthy though. Ah, I forgot to say that Sandra is the girl with amazing sense of humour and if you know Swedish, reading her blog can be very pleasant thing for you.
Jonathan Fagerlund is young artist who already managed to release 2 albums and to participate once in Melodifestivalen with the song "Welcome To My Life". Very positive and nice person as well.
Being good friends Sandra and Jonathan decided to create common project that Sandra initially announced quite originally to Expressen as a new dance-project with a lot of violins and nyckelharpas, they have made one German label interested and they were going to promote Nord in Germany. Due to Sandra's description they planned to perform in images of ice-prince and ice-princess with a lot of elk shit around. Sometimes it's difficult to see border between Sandra's humour and real plans so we decided to wait for some real appearance of Nord and got it at Stockholm Pride.
Initially Sandra and Jonathan performed solo all of their Melodifestivalen entries and Jonathan's single "Ready 4 It" and after that right on the stage they transformed to super-heroes in tight bright-coloured suits and big screens have demonstrated funny legend about these fairytale pop-saviours. Unexpectedly for us it was the end of the show but as Jonathan promised on his blog it was just a beginning of their project and Nord's music is on the way. How amazing would it be to get this schlager-duo back on Melodifestivalen and I will be quite surprised if it's not a secret plan of Nord.
