Play it to the world

While I was busy getting excited over Måns's debut album, I was neglecting another former Idol competitor, Danny Saucedo! I posted his great debut single "Tokyo" back in February; he's got a new single, "Play It For The Girls," out and, though I haven't heard the full version yet and it doesn't sound quite as fabulous as "Tokyo," I think I may very well still love it...and could end up loving it even more than "Tokyo," though I expect some people may be disappointed. You can listen to the beginning of it at his MySpace, but I think it's better than that shows (try listening to the preview clip at the Swedish iTunes). Plus, his debut album Heart. Beats. is coming out a week after Måns's (May 30)! Based on the first two singles and the fact that he's working with--and, as I think this is saying or implying, is the new vehicle for--September producer Jonas von der Burg, it should be great boy-fronted dance-pop.

Just look at this cover:


If that doesn't scream glitzy (maybe ridiculous) dance-pop with no regard for credibility--the best sort--I don't know what does.

Edit: Speaking of Måns Zelmerlöw, his next single will be "Work Of Art." Granted, I haven't heard the full version yet, but I have to say that I am completely baffled by that choice, as it sounds like his album has multiple songs that are much better than that one.

i'm sold on that cover alone! haha. If i were a popstar that would certainly be my choice of album cover. Plus! I am seriously thinking of starting my own "singles releases advisory board" for popstars like Mans et al who struggle with decent choices!

I'm horrible at judging singles--I never choose the same ones as record companies, and when I do they usually flop :-/ You'd probably be better at it!
