Coincidiendo con el 20º aniversario del estreno de la película "Love Actually", Keane edita un single con el mismo título y un lyric-video con imágenes de la película.
On the 20th anniversary of the premiere of the film "Love Actually", Keane releases a single with the same title and a lyric-video with footage from the film.
Agnetha sigue publicando singles de su álbum "reimaginado" "A+" junto con videos y audios. Así el lyric-video de "BACK ON YOUR RADIO" y una edición navideña de "I KEEP THEM ON THE FLOOR BESIDE MY BED". Las incluímos por ser Agnetha, pero no porque nos parezcan interesantes. Incomprensible este nuevo trabajo de una gran voz que no la representa dignamente, en nuestra opinión.
Agnetha continues releasing singles from her "reimagined" "A+" together with videos and audios. The lyric-video of "BACK ON YOUR RADIO" and a Christmas edition of "I KEEP THEM ON THE FLOOR BESIDE MY BED". We include them here because they're Agnetha's, but not because we consider them interesting. Incomprehensible this new release of a great voice that doesn't represent her standards, in our opinion.

Ayer salió el "nuevo" album de Agnetha, la revisión de su disco de 2013 "A". Entrevista para The Guardian y el resto de sus canciones en esta entrada. No nos entusiasma...
Out yesterday Agnetha's "new" album, a revision of her 2013 record "A". Interview on The Guardian and the rest of the songs in this post. Not exciting...
Dos nuevos "adelantos" de "A+", el disco remezclado de Agnetha Fältskog. En nuestra opinión no mejoran los originales y abusan del autotune, algo que la voz de Agnetha no necesita. Decepción.
Two new "peek sneaks" from "A+", Agnetha's remixed record. In our opinion they don't improve the originals and autotune overexposure, something that Agnetha's voice doesn't need. Disappointing.
Hoy tenemos segundo single extraído de "A+", la reinterpretación del dueto de Agnetha y Gary Barlow "I SHOULD'VE FOLLOWED YOU HOME", con un estilo más funky-jazz. Preferimos la original del 2013, comparad...
Today we've got the second single taken from "A+", the reinterpretation of Agnetha's duet with Gary Barlow "I SHOULD'VE FOLLOWED YOU HOME", with a more funky-jazz style. We prefer the original from 2013, compare yourselves...

Esta mañana se ha estrenado el nuevo single de Agnetha a través de la radio y ya está en todas las plataformas digitales. "WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?" es la única canción nueva de su álbum.
This morning has seen the premiere of Agnetha's new single on the radio and it's now on all digital platforms. "WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?"is the only brand new song on her album.
Audio "WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?", Agnetha Fältskog:
Lyrics:
Outside I'm cold but I'm burning inside
Impossible, crazy
Like snow in July
People keep talking, they keep passing by
The world could be ending
I wouldn't care why
What if
You could be the one that I'll remember
When I'm old and grey and looking back in life
What if
I just stumbled into my forever
Baby, kiss me back to life
Cause I can't breathe
Oh it feels like I'm drowning
Don't let me go now
Please hold me closer
Feels like I'm falling
Into emotions
I've never felt before
So now, what
Where do we go from (2)
Where do we go from here
(So now, what
Where do we go from (2)
Where do we go from here)
I thought I carried a heart made of steel
But you cracked it open, yeah you broke the seal
So kiss me again now, and promise we'll last
Cause I ́m tired of waiting, I ́m done with the past
Hoy a partir de las 8:30 (hora británica) Zoe Ball entrevistará a la última miembro de ABBA que le faltaba, Agnetha Fältskog. Y estrenará en primicia "WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?"
Today from 8:30 onwards (British time) Zoe Ball will interview the last member of ABBA she was missing, Agnetha Fältskog. It will also be the worldwide premiere of "WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?"
Pues finalmente ni recopilatorio, ni álbum de versiones, ni álbum nuevo... el "nuevo proyecto" de Agnetha parece que se reduce a una nueva canción y a una "reinterpretación" de su último álbum de hace diez años "A" en un formato de doble-CD. ¿Tanto "gran contrato discográfico" para esto? Decepcionante. Mañana se confirmará... pero estas fotos y descripción ya están hoy en amazon.co.uk.
Finally it's not a compilation, or a cover album, or a new album... it seems that Agnetha's "new project" is just one new song and a "reimagination" of her latest 10-year-old album "A" in a double-CD format. Such a "great record deal" for this? Disappointing. It will be confirmed tomorrow... but these photos and description are already today on amazon.co.uk.
Pensando en qué puede consistir el nuevo proyecto de Agnetha... ¿una recopilación de canciones (viendo el reel con imágenes pasadas de toda su carrera)?, o ¿un nuevo álbum de versiones como "THE COLOURING BOOK", puesto que "WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?" es el título de una canción de The Carpenters que pega con el estilo-Agnetha? Se verá... Os dejo la canción de los Carpenters.
Thinking about what Agnetha's new proyect will bring... a compilation of her songs (watching the reel with past footage from all her career)? or, a new album of cover versions as "THE COLOURING BOOK", as "WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?" is also the title of The Carpenters' song which suits Agnetha's style? We'll see... I'll leave you with the Carpenters' song.
