I've got something for you dear
...and this is the back. My picture, my christmas message and my autograph. See you in town tomorrow!
Not if I meet you first
Me and my sister Safir
I tell you what it is, for dinner, I tell you what it is fo-for di-dinner tonight
Tonight I'm watching the movie Let's Make Love with Marilyn Monroe.
Beyoncé sang to my heart
The day started at 11 AM in a scarlet studio in Östermalmstorg where I've never been before. I recorded a song I wrote with Elias Ringquist and Christian Wahlberg. I'm going to be in the music video to Hani's Wait Forever. So after the studio Hani and I had dinner, watched the movie Cadillac Records with Beyoncé and I got to read the manuscript for the music video. About the movie I have to say it was magnificent, I cried all three times Beyoncé sang in the shape of Etta James and about the music video I want to say that the manuscript is wicked in a grand way. Today, next post, I will start a christmas competitiom where you can win a christmas gift for youself or a friend.
Releaseparty - new connections
Helgen är nu över och en ny vecka anländer. Då tar vi helgens bravader nu i sammanfattning: På fredagen vaknade jag sent eftersom jag och Prinya satt uppe torsdagnatten och jammade på gitarrerna. På eftermiddagen shoppade jag i stan, bilder kommer senare, och såg Rock'n'Rolla på bio. Den föll ganska platt för mig men Guy Ritchie hade ansträngt sig för att få snygga effekter i alla fall, jag greppade dock inte handlingen, stora bitar av handlingen förblev olösta vid filmens slut. Lördagen vaknade jag upp ännu senare, gjorde knäck och såg Confessions med Jennifer Love Hewitt. Den filmen har jag sett minst tio gånger, den är trevlig. Sedan började jag göra mig iordning för kvällens releaseparty. Hani - Wait Forever låg på tapeten. Jag hade ett litet möte med Solomon, Hanis manager om ett projekt de vill ha mig till. Så jag ska maila deras producent idag om några beats. Efter partyt åkte jag hem för att se Casablanca, jag läser för övrigt Ingrid Bergmans biografi!
The weekend is over, a new week is arriving. Now let us talk about this so called weekend: On Friday I woke up late since Prinya and I stayed up Thursday night jamming the guitars. In the afternoon I did a little shopping, pictures will be posted later, and watched Rock'n'Rolla at movies. I wouldn't say it's my favourite movie but Guy Ritchie sure had put in an effort to make great visuals, but I didn't grasp the concept, big parts of the story didn't get solved when the movie ended. Saturday I woke up even later, made some golden syrup fudge and watched Confessions with Jennifer Love Hewitt. I must have seen that movie about ten times, it's nice. After that I started getting ready for the night's release party. Hani - Wait Forever was the topic. I had a little meeting with Solomon, Hanis manager about project they wanted me in. So I'm going to mail their producer today about some beats. I ran into Da Griot and we talked about a future collabo and one of his friends whom he brought wanted to get me shows in Germany and other countries. After the party I went home to watch Casablanca, I'm also reading Ingrid Bergman's biography for the record!
All my leaves and all of yours
4 PM, café sitdown and chai latté at Grand Brand with a friend who gave me fine, dark chocolate as a gift. 7 PM, Stand-up comedy at Boulevarteatern, me and Prinya was on the guest list. Hahahaha, it was SO funny, I almost fell down to the floor and couldn't barley breathe. I will surely go to stand-up's more often. After the show Prinya and I went to my place and stayed up till 02.30 AM playing the guitar, drinking tea and singing, it was a delight. That's all for today, now I'm off to the city to shop for tomorrow and a café -brainstorming sitdown with my promoter.
Collaboration
Where have all the flowers gone
Fick precis SMS från Peter Swartling, äntligen bli mötet av. Ikväll blir det bio igen, denna gång Body of lies med Leonardo DiCaprio som för övrigt har ett av de ballaste namnen. Nu är min blogg på plats #190 i kategori ALLA. Grymt! Såg även Adam Tensta och Eboi på Fredag hela veckan igår, jag hade just börjat undra var pojkarna hade tagit vägen, det var ett bra tag sen vi spelade in min låt "What's4Dinner". Adam och Eboi har även bytt frisyr, numer är det Adam som bär mohawken.
Just got an SMS from Peter Swartling, our meeting is finally happening. Tonight I'm going to the movies again but this time to see Body of lies with Leonardo DiCaprio who by the way has one of the coolest names ever. My blog has gone up to #190 in the category ALL. Wow! Something else I caught was Adam Tensta and Eboi on Fredag hela veckan yesterday, I was just beginning to wonder where the boys was, long time ago since we recorded my song "What's4Dinner". Adam and Eboi switched hair, nowadays Adam is the one wearing the mohawk.
Spread your wings and fly, butterfly
Jag vaknade tidigt imorse och åkte till affären och inhandlade lite matvaror för veckan, bilder och info kommer i nästa inlägg.
Yesterday I visited ms. Mia and ms. Irini who's back in town after the long trip to the Philippines. Mia had brought back gifts to all hear near and dear ones. Among everything there was a mini guitar and a painting with butterfies for me (the painting wasn't for sale at first but she nagged until she got it, woho!). I love butterflies!
Woke up early this morning and went to the store to do some grocery shopping for this week, pictures and info will be in next post.
They call it nutbush city limits
Dear Sunday, what do you have in store? Life feels salty with wet boots and stormy hair. Mia and Irini comes home from the Philippines to Stockholm today! Yay, been waiting for this day for five weeks.
You go to store on friday, You go to church on sunday
You go to the fields on weekdays, And have a picnic on labor day
You go to town on saturday And go to church every sunday"
~~ Tina Turner - Nutbush City Limit~~
Oh it's a Friday's night, and our rhymes is tight (oh what a night)
Igår var jag alltså på Idol live, vilken kväll. Robin Bengtsson lyfte taket totalt, han var den enda som sjöng en riktig gospel-låt "Joyful, Joyful", men jag gungade även i härlig takt till Kevin Borgs "Higher and Higher". Det var en ruskigt roligt att se Carola uppträda, hon är ren lycka i en liten ivrig kropp. Hallelujah! Jag sprang även på Peter Swartling i pausen, vi samtalde lite och han gav mig sitt nummer. Jag hoppas att vi kommer fram till något bra musikmässigt, han är en av de få i Sverige som kan R'n'B.
Efter showen bar det av till Friday's, supergod mat och dricka. Allting avslutades fint och jag måste säga att hela dagen har varit underbar. Tack till alla som varit med under kvällens gång.
Anlände till studion i limousine / Arrived to the studio in a limousine
I was on Idol live yesterday, what a night. Robin Bengtsson completely lifted the roof, he was the only one with a straight up gospel song "Joyful, Joyful", but sure I boggied to Kevin Borg's "Higher and Higher". It was crazy fun to see Carola perform, she is pure happiness in a tiny, eager body. Hallelujah! I also ran into Peter Swartling in the break, we talked a bit and he gave me his number. I hope we'll resolute on something good music wise, he's one of few in Sweden who knows R'n'B.
After the show we took off to Friday's, delicious food and drinks. Everything ended nicely and I have to say the whole day has been amazing. Thanks to everyone who's been a part of it.
This is a Christmas Delight
Ikväll är det Idol live och jag ska dit och se det live, det är lite stress hemma hos mig dock, är man VIP ska man vara där en bra bit innan showen börjar. Jag har en massa ärenden jag behöver göra innan jag åker hemifrån, så jag bör sätta på ett kål nu.
Jag ska färga håret idag, planerar att sätta in en mustig chokladnyans, jul here I come! Sist men inte minst vill jag tacka er för era tio frågor igår, det var jättekul att svara på varenda en av dem. Mycket kärlek!
Time for a change in the blof. I've decided to switch places on the Swedish and English text, meaning I start with Swedish and end with English.Idol is on tinight and I'm going to watch it live, a little stressful around here though. Since VIPs have to arrive a bit earlier and I have tons of stuff I need to do before leaving home, so I better get going.
I'm dying my hair today, planning on putting in a juicy chocolate tone, christmas here I come Last but not least I want to thank you for your ten questions yesterday. I had fun answering them all. Much love.
Love yourself! Make love to yourself!
