The book about OKEJ

On October 20th, the book "Boken om OKEJ" was released in Sweden. OKEJ was the biggest pop magazine in Sweden in the 80's, selling over 150,000 copies a week at its peak. From 1983 to 1986, Carola was in the magazine almost weekly, and on the cover frequently. The book chronicles these golden years in the magazine's history and includes an interview with Carola, that apparently her manager wanted to stop.

Don't miss Carola on TV tonight when Swedish children's TV channel SVTB airs the music video for the new song "Förlåt" ("I'm Sorry"). The song is a duet with the Doreen Månsson, the host of the TV show ”Dilemman med Doreen”.

For ten weeks, Doreen will perform songs with famous Swedish artists. Carola jumped at the opportunity to sing the song, which is written by Doreen Månsson. The song has become Doreen's favorite, and is therefor chosen to be the first one to air.

"Dilemman med Doreen" airs today at 6:30 on SVTB.

Sweet Chariots' re-release includes "You+Me"

Sweet Chariots (Niclas Frisk & Andreas Mattson) have just released a remastered version of their 2000 album "Beat Based / Song Centered / Spirit Led" including five bonus tracks. One of those tracks is Carola's "You+Me" which the duo wrote for her. Sweet Chariots were supposed to write and produce a whole album for Carola in 2001, but she decided against the idea. When her 2001 pop album "My Show" was released, "You+Me" was the only song by Frisk/Mattson that had survived the cut, but rerecorded, sounding quite different than how Frisk/Mattson had intended it.

Could it be the original Frisk/Mattson version of "You+Me" that is included on this album? It might be, since that recording should be the property of the band. I think many fans would appreciate finally get a chance to hear what the collaboration sounded like.

Sadly, the bonus track is not included on the iTunes version of the album.
