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.

Usually December is a month when Idol-winning single collects #1 places week by week but nothing can't push September's hit-single "Mikrofonkåt" from 6th week at #1! Loads of positive reviews in media and massive audience reaction - seems like Petra Marklund never was so much popular in Sweden. So label wisely doesn't lose this wave and develop some new promo-steps to squeeze everything out of this success.
Before we've got English version of Mikrofonkåt and now we receive whole 8-tracks pack of mixes - Mick Kastenholt & Andrew Dee mix (completely crazy club track made for blasting dancefloors), Alex Lamb mix (another great wave-growing track from chill-out part to high-tempo dance mix of Swedish House Mafia class), Punchy mix (this time urban-smelling in verses track with jumping beat and loud dance chorus) and Casado & Daif mix (darker club mix with tasty electro-layers and gorgeous dance-beat). You can listen to all mixes except Punchy below.

Last week many of "Så mycket bättre" participants released digitally their covers (actually everyone but Plura) that turned to be quite logical promo-decision and though Petter took whole 3 singles to iTunes Top-10, chart was waiting for Petra "September" Marklund, her cover of Petter's song "Mikrofonkåt" has become real hit among tv-audience and when finally it was released on iTunes it's taken just few hours to reach #1 and right now it's still there!
If the highest September's entry in basic Swedish chart was "Satelites" (#4) can "Mikrofonkåt" beat it? I think yes and it's even more amazing start of new September's career stage in Sweden than we could imagine.
Already this Friday September will release her brand new single (along with music video) "Resuscitate Me" that we exclusively presented to you in its full version few weeks ago, so here's the time for another exclusive thing - new monster hit of September in Sweden "Mikrofonkåt" - great club track with infectious tune and heavy dancefloor base. Everything in best traditions of September so you're gonna enjoy it!
