Is It Love was A&R'ed by Alex Strehl of Electric Feel. It was a pitch demo originally but Loreen still elevated it in her own way.

 

Forever was part of writing sessions earlier this year in the UK in preparation for Eurovision. I'm not sure when Warning Signs was recorded, it seems like it's an old Ina Wroldsen demo from around September 2023 but I don't know when Loreen recorded it. Gravity was part of writing sessions in LA earlier this year.

 

As far as I'm aware, BMG haven't been involved for years.

 

She has done loads of sessions over the last 2 years alone. She spent a few months last year in the UK, some in Stockholm and there's the entire Olafur Arnalds collab project still to come. This year it seems like she was in LA a lot earlier on and in the UK whilst the middle of the festival tour.

 

She also has a massive back catalogue of scrapped projects from the Swedish album, the Neon Lights era, the 2019 Atlas project and projects further back than that but I fear they are lost forever.

 

She has so much music but I've lost track and I'm not sure what she'd be able to release given the label switch. The fact all releases this year were recorded this year (I believe) make me think that she isn't allowed to release last year's sessions 

 

I'm fully expecting that the album next year will only include Forever onwards. It was extremely quiet at the start of the year and I think the label switch was the reason why. I think the planned album had to be scrapped and they started again but idk, I'm just guessing

It's so sad to see that we'll probably never get the album that was supposed to come last year...It was clear that Loreen was going for something more ethnic and that would pay tribute to her heritage. Now she is more EDM oriented and she has a different aesthetic with the armor and stuff.

There is a whole era around that song? I always thought Neon Lights and Tattoo might both have been written for Eurovision around the same time as they're kinda similar, but they just ended up using one or something. Would've loved an album in the vein of those songs. I hate knowing she has so many music in the vault, especially with the quality of the songs she's releasing now being so subpar

Neon Lights was originally Swedish and recorded at the time when she was meant to be releasing a Swedish project. It was re-recorded as an English song and at the time (as always) she said it was building up to another project but it never happened. The only other song I know of from that time (I believe) is called "Vibe". There's another Peter Kvint song also which remains in the vault.

Olafur collab should be VERY soon e.g. next few months (as long as plans don't change) and yes, album is rumoured for April but nothing has been confirmed
