Interview Nöjesbladet

Eric Saade turns pop back: I take no steps back

Pop is no more.

Now does Eric Saade, 21, just what he wants.

- You have to learn to point the finger at everyone who pokes one, he says.

Eric Saade poses accustomed to the camera.

Just days before this year's artists in the Eurovision Song Contest presented amid much publicity.

But it is far from here.

Melodifestivalen was Eric Saade's breakthrough to a wider audience. But nothing he wants to return to.

- It's so hard to say never but no, probably not, he says. I've already done that, I'm done now. Why would I take a step back?

He continues:

- Now I have completely different goals. As I look back on it, it is a start of my career which was absolutely fantastic. It was an extremely fun time because it's such a fucking circus.

To break through is not just something you do. It is sometimes things are going against. Even for Eric Saade.

- When I left high school I was right near to close. I had been going on for three years and nothing happened.

 

"Enough is enough"

Eric Saade lined up twice in the Melodifestivalen - 2010 with "Manboy". 2011, with "Popular". The year between them happened a lot.

- The first year after my breakthrough I felt not so good. I was in a position where I did not really know how to handle the media. I was really confused, walked around and wondered how I should do: if I could be myself or I would align myself, as one must do in Jantelags -Sweden. This year I decided that it is enough.

The result: Saade's participation in last winter ended with a profit - with a series of controversies along the way. This talks with both the media and other participants (read: the Russian contribution).

- You have to learn to point the finger at everyone who pokes at you, says Eric.

 "The same fucking Eric"

A lot has happened on other fronts too over the years since his first participation, says Eric.

- When I look at myself when I did "Manboy" so I only think: what the hell I was involved with? I had not taken a singing lesson, I had not danced for three years so I was completely numb. But personality wise, I have always been the same fucking Eric.

With popular music behind it is now new challenges on the schedule. New album and a subsequent tour is planned over the coming year. Saade has himself designed the stage and wants to achieve something in the class with Justin Timberlake at the Globe Arena - but on a smaller stage. No minimalism that is.

- Damn, I've never done anything that has been pared down.

Saade Vol. 2 is #1

Erics album "Saade Vol. 2" went from zero to one at the swedish charts:

For the second time this year is Eric Saade straight into the top as superior to one of Sweden's music charts The new Saade Vol. 2 strikes also a new record as the year's fastest-selling album - a record that the same artist previously held by his previous album Saade Vol. 1 that was released as recently as last summer.

Eric Saade's Saade vol.2 is with 7064 scanned copies (832 examples more than Saade's previous seasonal best) week's superior best selling album.

Teaser Pop Explosion Tour 2012

Signing at In-Gallerian Sundsvall

The girls cried and parents sweated. In-gallerian was chockfull when Eric Saade visited Sundsvall. - I really like the town - it's perfect.

Image by Dagbladet.se

Dagbladet met Eric Saade just before the show began With him was a camera crew - which documented the signing tour . He said he likes Sundsvall and therefore were it the only gig in Norrland here.

- Sundsvall is perfect. I was here at the Gatufesten in the summer as well - it was crazy fun, says Eric Saade.

Then it was time to go up the stage and gallerian was crowded by small and big fans. People literally climbed the walls to get a glimpse of the star.

- Are you okay? shouts Eric Saade and judging by the cheering from the fans was doing it more than good.

The audience was asked to hear "Hearts in the Air" and a special version of the mega-hit "Popular".

Four songs later, there was signing day and Eric Saade promised to every one who wanted his name on the disc to get it.

- I'll stay if it takes four hours.

Despite the fact that so many people gathered - at least a thousand people according to one of the organizers - it went peaceful and the organizers asked all the time the audience to take account of the younger fans.

You lost your love tonight
I'm leaving the keys
Given to another guy
He'll be the one who's falling

You knock me out of your world
Out through the back door
I crashed on the dancefloor (dancefloor)
Tonight I let tham alert
Ready to explore
Why here on the dancefloor? (dancefloor)

Don't tell me what to do
I'm out your zone
Don't tell me who to choose
Can't be control, oh
You knock me out of your world
I crashed on the dancefloor
I crashed on the dancefloor, Yeah
