With over 50,000 units sold of "Saade Volume 1," Eric Saade is the biggest selling male pop star in Sweden this year. The singer had massive hits with "Popular and "Heart In The Air," and now he's stirring up momentum across Europe with his new single "Hotter Than Fire" that features none other than Dev.
"Hotter Than Fire" is taken from Saade's brand-new album "Saade Volume 2" that is released in Sweden today only a few months after "Volume 1" was unleashed. With so much new music that is adored by pop music fans everywhere, both "Volume 1" and "Volume 2" solidly positiosn Saade for international break out success.
I recently caught up with Eric in Sweden to chat a little bit more about the quick release of "Saade Volume 2," his collaboration with Dev, his ongoing creative journey and his love for great electro-pop. He also talks candidly about one of his favorite songs on the album that is a lot more personal than people may expect.
It's that time of the year again! The official GRAMMY season kicks off tonight with the live telecast of GRAMMY Nominations Concert Live that will unveil the nominations for the 54th annual GRAMMY Awards that will be held on February 12, 2012 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The GRAMMY Nominations Concert Live will air at 10 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.
Tonight's CBS broadcast is an hour-long musical extravaganza that features the announcement of nominees, plus performances at the Nokia Theatre by Lady Gaga, Rihanna, The Band Perry, Lupe Fiaso, Usher and many others. (All major categories will be announced during the show and the full list of nominees will be available immediately after.)
The Recording Academy has invited me for the fourth year in a row to help cover The GRAMMY Awards as a Community Blogger with a special focus on everything pop. You may remember that I was the first-ever blogger to be involved with The GRAMMYs, an historic feat for the American music institution which I'm tremendously honored and humbled by.
The 54th GRAMMYs is shaping up to be the The Recording Academy's biggest show to date and I'm excited to be covering it all and share it with you. I'm on my way to Los Angeles now to cover The GRAMMY Nominations Concert plus all the behind-the-scenes action. I will also cover the official 54th GRAMMY Awards show on February 12, and make sure to catch my GRAMMY.com blogs for all my candid insights and reports. Tune in tonight to Twitter for real-time updates before, during and after the show.
