Madonna: a Swedish superstar

From today’s Aftonbladet:

Yellow and blue on the new album – and now she may come to Sweden…
Red cabins, Falun sausage, Dalecarlian horses – and Madonna. The world’s biggest female popstar have never been more Swedish. And now she’s heading here.

Made in Sweden.
That title would have fit well on Madonna’s new album album “Confessions on a dance floor“. Songwriters and producers Christian “Bloodshy” Karlsson, Pontus “Avant” Winnberg and Henrik Jonback have co-written the songs “How High” and “Like It Or Not“.

Anders Bagge and Per Åström contributed with the song “Get Together“.

In addition, ABBA-icons Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson let her sample their hit song “Gimme, gimme, gimme” in the lead single “Hung up“.

As if that wasn’t enough it seems like Johan “Stakka Bo” Renck will be directing the video for “Hung up”. [please not that this is still only a rumour at the moment]

Of course it’s really nice that we’ve got so many profesionals that she wants to work with them, says Christina Bredberg at Madonna’s record company Warner [Bros. Sweden].

And now there’s alot of talk about her coming to Sweden in November for the first time since the European MTV Awards in Stockholm five years ago.

“We are working on it“, says Christina Bredberg.

The article also mentions Madonna wearing the same kind of jewelery as Swedish princess Victoria. She’s also mentioned in an article about the return of the 80’s in the very same paper.
