I have a habit of releasing a free Christmas single every year, and I am this year too!

The single will be released December 1st and will be a collaboration with The Bodyshop and ECPAT‘s campaign “Stop Trafficking”.

Along with the release I’m doing a Christmas concert at Clarion Sign in Stockholm, Sweden, December 1st! I’m playing my own Christmas songs and some selected favorites by other artists. As usual I’ll have a secret guest artist on the show and the Swedish Lucias will sing some lovely Christmas tunes as well!

Stay tuned! More info to come!

Coco Hearts Records is releasing Florida in Japan

Japanese record company Coco Hearts is releasing my album “Florida” December 22nd.

“The album will be designed as a Christmas present from Cocoheart to Japanese music lovers. The best gift, isn’t it!” says Coco Hearts.

The album will be released as a special Japan release with additional bonus tracks. I’m really looking forward to our new collaboration. I want to celebrate this especially by reminding all of you to download my free remix album “Street of Dreamix” where Japanese artists Himawarii contributed with a remix. Download it here!

Tired

The last three days I have fallen asleep in the couch right after dinner. Now, watching Ancient Aliens from the History Channel didn’t really help me stay awake. In a way it’s nice to be able to get some sleep, but I usually never sleep during daytime unless I’m ill. So maybe the ancient aliens helped me fall asleep but I think this unusual tiredness more probably is a product of too much work this past year.

Since November I’ve barley had a break to talk about. I did the Christmas Calendar, the Christmas Concerts then dove right into recording a new album, worked with that day and night, went on tour to the US for three weeks and then started promoting the album which is now finally released. So, does that mean I can take a break now and there’s nothing more to do? Not really. I’m already planning for an EP, working on videos and promo for the acoustic version of Florida which will be released soon, and on a couple of collaborations.

But I really like to be busy. Having nothing to do makes me lazy and uninspired. But sometimes you need to take a little break. Good thing I’m going to Rimini for a weekend soon. And maybe I should stop wr..

West coast!

We had a couple of lovely days in Seattle, and now we’re working our way down the west coast. Last night we did a great gig at The Mint in LA. My friend Anna Christoffersson showed up as she’s in LA working on her new album. Me and Anna baked Saffron bread in my Christmas Calendar, if you haven’t seen it check it out here!

We spent the day with Anna in Santa Monica the day after, it was lovely to walk around for a bit before cramming all the gear in the truck again and heading to San Diego.

Tomorrow, Wednesday, I’m playing in San Diego so don’t miss my gig there!

Here’s some pics from the tour
