eff me, the guy can really write AND sing.

Yawn ! Formulaic, boring and not for me. By the way I am sick of how these so called professionals seem to make a big deal about 16 year olds
write, record etc. Er at 16 you're practically old enough and it is not amazing at all. If you were 10 ! Then yes. Also why should we listen
to another bloody kid making music. Stay in school and STFU !

The song we tipped was Boys Don't Cry which has now been replaced - possibly because of reaction after we linked it here (we had 295 views and links go to it).
Sticks and Stones - up there now - is OK but nowhere near as good.

This one is not that great too similar to all the rubbish coming out from the States.
THe website looks good. On another point, I can't say I am weeping for the music industry as
it is populated with pompous know it all who have no manners, no energy, no ounce of positivity.
Karma dudes karma !

Here's a new link to Boys Don't Cry...

And as you'll see if you click on the new link to Popbitch, she has also been asked to take Boys Don't Cry down.

It is becoming increasingly hard to enthuse about music these days!

We heard from dozens of top executives about it from this thread before it disappeared and we put them onto the manager in Sweden; I'm told labels are flying in by the dozen this weekend; Stockholm will be like the old Tin Pan Alley.

A lesson - log on and read new posts hourly or you'll miss the future hits that will bring you stars and make you millions.

Jason Iley had the brains and the speed to pick up Orson from our first tip here; sadly he also had the lack of ability to sustain them as a band.

I have to say JK that most of the great pop music I have been hearing is coming from Scandinavia in general. I would agree with your comment on Stockholm. I have in fact about a month ago made plans to spend a couple of weeks there.

The best pop hit off Kylie's new album was written by Cutfather out of Denmark. Something really to be said about the pop sensibility up there. There is something coming from there that someone like Stuart Price just does not get.

That kid sounds a lot better than Justin Bieber's faux R&B crap.

Like all the best Britney Spears stuff ?

and Backstreet Boys ?

No, like the tracks Cutfather and company are doing that are head and shoulders above the shit that Katy Perry and the like are doing. In broader terms more like the ABBA songs that are still all over radio 40 years after the fact. Great hit songs with great arrangements. I never fail to give ABBA Gold to any new young charge. They can learn from it musically. I never liked Britney Spears but her first hit that put her on the map was a true hit song. Like it or not. The BSB songs were good for the most part. Martin deserved his ascap songwriter of the year awards. Isn't that the business of a producer? To get hits. In his case he created the sound of late nineties pop.

There has been a knack for pop hits born from Scandinavia for decades, and it doesn't look like its letting up.
