Högt Över Havet and Gråter Tillsammans Över Varandra by Andreas Lundstedt

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Alcazar singer Andreas Lundstedt is taking part of the Swedish TV show called "Så Myckret Bättre", which translate to "So Much Better." Artists on the show take turns covering the other artists' songs. So far, Andreas has released two new singles: "Högt Över Havet" and "Gråter Tillsammans Över Varandra." The news has already leaked that the single tomorrow (Friday) is sung with the original lineup of Alcazar! Woooooo! Mi amore, Annikafiore!

Let's discuss the first of the new songs: "Högt Över Havet." It translates to "High Above The Sea." This song was originally performed by Arja Saijonmaa at the Swedish Melodifestivalen in 1987. Melodifestavalen is Sweden's selection process of the song that will represent the country in the Eurovision Song Contest. Andreas does an amazing job on this cover. We weren't familiar with the song (nor do we speak Swedish), but we love. it. We've added the official music video to our 2024 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

And now for the next song ...

The next single is "Gråter Tillsammans Över Varandra." This translates to "Crying Together Over Each Other." This song was originally performed by Estraden (Louise Lennartsson). This is more of an emotional song and Andreas does a great job with the vocals. We've also added the official music video to our 2024 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...

Needless to say, we will feature the song tomorrow with Alcazar with Annikafiore!

"Högt Över Havet" was written by Lasse Holm and produced by Jimmy Janson. "Gråter Tillsammans Över Varandra" was written by Fanny Hultman, Johan Lindbrandt, Louise Lennartson, and Robin Stjernberg. It was produced by Kristofer Strandberg. Both songs are available on digital outlets everywhere. We've added them to our 2024 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify ...
