Marie Serneholt, formerly of Swedish boy/girl group A*Teens, started her solo career in 2006 and last month performed “Disconnect Me” in Melodifestivalen, the Swedish national song competition to determine who will represent the country in Eurovision 2009. The electro beats and not surprisingly, a few orchestra stabs reminiscent of Scandinavian symphonic metal, transform a generic pop song into a magnificently consuming arrangement.
This is the second Melodifestivalen artist I've posted—the first was Rigo & the Topaz Sound—so I'd like to emphasize once again that one should not compare Melodifestivalen and Eurovision to their less talented and less creative American counterparts.
SOUNDS LIKE La Roux, Lily Allen, Robyn
