Here is a short interview with Matt Pop on a Finnish music blog: http://tekhousetrauma.blogspot.fi/2014/06/matt-pop-interview.html

When All Is Said And Done by Adam Lopez is finally out today! After the first demo I produced for Adam back in 2011, called Till The End Of Time (never released), he came back to me in 2012 with a song called Kaleidoscope. I was blown away by the complexity and musicianship of that recording and we started to work on an EP consisting of 5 songs, which I would produce between my other projects. But 5 became 7, 7 became 10, until by the end of 2013 we had a full 14-track album. When All Is Said And Done was actually a late addition and it was my suggestion that he should record an ABBA tune. Luckily he agreed and I was over the moon that he chose this one. Ofcourse, the Frida vocal (and the Benny / Björn / Michael Tretow production) was a tough act to follow, but I think Adam did the song proud and made it his own. The album Kaleidoscope is out sometime this summer, but for now, here is the first single. It is available to download from most digital stores, and a physical 5-track single is available only from the Energise Records website.

Here is a short featurette where Adam and I discuss how this recording came about, and you also get a glimpse of the track’s studio project: http://tiny.cc/aoaahx

There is already considerable buzz surrounding Sinitta‘s upcoming single So Many Men, which is a cover of one of her mother Miquel Brown‘s biggest hits ofcourse. It HAS been a long time since Sinitta last released new recordings, and the fact that this undisputed classic will be her comeback single has some of you salivating, and others as nervous as virgins at a prison rodeo (thanks for that one, Blanche Deveraux). To me, it makes perfect sense that she chose this track. Sinitta‘s biggest hits include titles like Toy Boy and So Macho, so continuing this theme of tongue-in-cheeck naughtiness with So Many Men – a song originally made famous by her own mother! – is nothing less than a stroke of genius in my book. Now, whether you will like this new version remains to be seen ofcourse, but my totally unbiased opinion (after producing a radio mix and a club mix of it) is that it’s fun, fresh and funky The vocals are excellent, too; Sinitta‘s voice, like the lovely lady herself, hasn’t aged a bit, and she has added some fun new spoken parts that gave me a nice chuckle when I first heard them. It also features a cool rap section that gives the song an added edge. All in all, a great summer record then. You will hopefully be able to make up your own mind when it is released, some time very soon!
