Agnes Carlsson is a young and talented new artist and songwriter. In 2005 she became the first female winner of Idols and she released her first album Agnes right away. One year later she released her second album Stronger. Her third album Dance Pop Love was released last year (2008) and entered the Swedish sales chart at 5th position. 2008 Was a year where everything fell into place for Agnes - both creatively and career wise. Dance Love Pop, evolved from her vision to create the ultimate pre- party' album. The drive, the energy and the attitude we associate with a 20 year old who is eager to explore life and music are all apparent on this her strongest album to date.
The first single On and on became an instant success right from the onset when the song was premiered in the popular live TV show Sommarkrysset with close to a million viewers. Soon it topped both the Tracks chart (popular listener voted chart) and the Music Control chart. On and On is the most shown music video on MSN ever and currently has close to 82 000 viewings. In 2009 On and On became gold in Sweden. The single even peaked at #2 at the Swedish Tracks Chart. This is a chart where radio listeners have to vote for their favourite track.
The year 2008 was almost like a new beginning for Agnes. Just before the new year she changed management firm. Soon after that, she changed record companies to the smaller more versatile Roxy Recordings where she finds the personal backing that all artists strive after. Around the same time she found the perfect partner in songwriter and producer Anders Hansson. Sparks fly when the somewhat unexpected meeting of Hanssons electronic flavoured music team up with Agnes soulful vocals. This will be apparent when Agnes will compete with their song , Love Love Love, in the upcoming Melodifestivalen - a competition followed closely by a huge part of Sweden population - as the choice of the song to represent them in the Eurovision Song Contest is decided.
Agnes was even nominated for a Grammy for song of the year 2008. Besides that, she's got a nomination on the biggest gay gala - QX-gala 2009 - for Song of the Year and Artist of the Year.
The last years have been eventful for Agnes to say the least. The two first albums and three nationwide tours came one after another. During the winter of 2007 Agnes took part in the show - ABBA Christmas Edition - at the Annexet in Stockholm. She showed the first signs of her song writing progress. She also took time to take part in the MQ Christmas campaign together with Måns Zelmerlöw where the two duetted on All I want for Christmas' that topped the sales charts. The spring of 2008 was kick-started with the TV show Körslaget (Battle of the Choirs) where Agnes expertly chose members for a choir from her hometown of Vänersborg and competed against six other choirs.
What are your goals and ambitions for 2009? My biggest goal is to see my music released in Europe. A lot of things are happening already - many countries have already committed to release and another few larger territories will be on board soon. Artistically the goal is always to evolve on all levels - vocally, the song writing and the on stage show are all important for me.
Agnes has co-written three songs on the last album amongst others the new single Release me. This single enters the Swedish Track Chart at #2 just like On and on did. The videos for both tracks amassed 1,1 million viewings on youtube.com - proof that Agnes knows what she is doing in that department as well. Both tracks, On and on and Release me, also reached the Top 10 at Music Control in 2009.
After the success of the release On and on, White Villa is proud to present the successor Agnes - Release me. The Music Video is already TMF's Super Clip and the forthcoming album will be release in the 4th quarter of 2009. for the Netherlands!
