Petra "September" Marklund who releases 4th album "Love CPR" already in 2 days on Monday today has visited studio of Nyhetsmorgon to perform two of her last singles "Resuscitate Me" and "Me and my microphone" (Mikrofonkåt) with live arrangement.
"Mikrofonkåt" has become triple platinum (!!!) hit spending 11 weeks on #1 of Swedish chart and still can come back after album's release, it's gonna be really interesting will Swedish folk get new album with so massive love they showed to Petra on "Så Mycket Bättre" show, we're gonna know very soon.
For now we can check Petra's live performance that's as enjoyable as it always was - right from the first album 7 years ago (February 11th 2004 by the way), Petra was amazing live performer making every show very special and enjoyable, this one is not exception. You should also check September singing these two songs at NRJ Live in Finland and recent acoustic performance for Press2Play.
Samples of "Love CPR" are already available on youtube but we will keep our judgement before we'll hear whole songs.

After full Autumn in a TV-cocoon of "Så Mycket Bättre" Petra Marklund is coming out from TV-screens to spotlights praised by people and media being invited to awards and new TV-shows. During latest visiting of ELLE magazine annual party Petra has become not only guest but was awarded as Best dressed female artist. Salem al Fakir was awarded as Best dressed male artist that night. Another latest appearance of Petra was at Grammis awards and proving her new title of style icon she's got to Aftonbladet pool for a best looking artist with Robyn, Sibel, Linda Sundblad and Veronica Maggio and currently confidently leads it.
"Mikrofonkåt" has become incredible hit spending 9 weeks in a row at #1 of Swedish chart and last week Petra was invited to perform it in English version at big Norwegian-Swedish show Skavlan. It was actually first performance of "Me And My Microphone" in this version on TV and could it be anything but stunning? Big band behind, Petra in gorgeous diva poses vocally better than ever and clapping audience - nothing else but replay is necessary.

First season of series Så mycket bättre is over and in the last episode artists were singing versions of their own songs in versions close to original in duets with another artists. Di Leva performed his hit "Vad är frihet" with Lasse Berghagen who also performed his entry on Melodifestivalen-1973 "Ding Dong". Di Leva appeared another time in duet with Plura singing old Eldkvarn's (Plura's band) song "Alice". Plura helped to Petter with the song "Gör min dag" (originally performed by Petter with Magnus Carlson). Lill-Babs and Christer Sandelin united singing Lill-Babs' "Jag vill leva". September appeared twice on the stage - with Petter making mix of her version of "Satellites" and version performed earlier by Petter. As well with Christer she has made Style's "Luften darrar". Another warm and adorable evening finishing one of the most successful tv-shows of the year and hope next year we'll get not worse team of artists bringing this lovely atmosphere and many nice covers.

September enjoys first place of her hit-cover "Mikrofonkåt" third week in a row, that looks like incredible success being her first #1 in Sweden ever and the song has got English version "Me And My Microphone" and already tries to break through in UK.
