Big hit in sweden.

The only thing I want mixed into this master is replacing the tambourine with the ragged "clink" of a chain gang taking a step together, and adding a hammer/anvil for some of the down beats.

Adele-type voices are just NOT my cup of tea.

 She sounds a bit like both of them (Adele and Johnette), really...and it seems good...  Sure, gals from Sweden can really sing and make the scene, indeed!

Is it true that Sweden has more pop stars/musicians per capita than any other country? Sure seems that way. Solid tune.

Somebody's gotta upload more than just this song. Happyland is a solid album - especially "Greetings from Space", "Autopilot" and "Borderline."

Close the door and leave your key
You think you've got me but you'll see
When you're starting to lose me
I'm already gone

She does have a great voice. Unfortunately, the record companies find one person that makes it big and sells a lot of albums, then they go out and find a ton of other singers/musicians just like it to hop on the bandwagon and sell, sell, sell, while it's hot. So the sound gets old quick.

Beautiful women with beautiful voices singing in a kind of jazz lounge act kind of style - I really don't know what anyone is complaining about.  I'll take this, Adele, Duffy, Melody Gardot, Amy Winehouse etc.  Keep 'em coming.  Lapping it all up.

Interesting that this Adele and Florence-and-the-Machine style of singing is becoming such a large part of RP and popular radio. There's a song in this style at least every hour from several different of singers. I must be too autistic to enjoy it, though.

I think this song's pretty good - sort of a cool, gloomy, minor-key groove, but I know what you mean about the "big" voices being popular at present.  However, look back over the comments or reviews for other female singers.  Look at all the complaints about wispy-voiced singers, nasal singers, breathy singers, singers using Auto-tune, etc.  Some people can always find a reason to complain.

A little of this style goes a long way with me, too.

Yeah, from what I can tell, the rest of it is somewhat poppy.  The original cut of this is still dark, but at lot faster of tempo and sounds louder and more full.  It isn't bad, but this is the better version I think.
