Interview by Sophie Gatward

Ola Nils Håkan Svensson, known simply as Ola, is one of Sweden’s biggest acts of recent years with seven number one singles, all of them having gone gold or platinum. Two of his three albums have topped the Swedish album charts, and one reached the top three.

After being signed to Universal Music for many years, Ola founded his own record label Oliniho Records for the Swedish market, keeping distribution arrangements with Sony Music in Europe and internationally. Having his own record company was a conscious effort to move away from the artistic limitations he felt when signed to a major label.

Ola has just released ‘Carelessly Yours’ his fourth studio album – we were stunned when we first listened to it – it’s powerful, beautiful and inspiring! We play it at least once a day.

The first single from the album ‘I’m in Love’ topped the charts in several countries and has to date almost 17 million views on YouTube. In August 2013 Ola received a double platinum record for the song in Italy.

Ola – I’m in Love (Play this video in Creation 5)

Your new album, ‘Carelessly Yours’, is a ‘repeater’ – something you can have on repeat all day and not get sick of. Makes it hard to pick out our favourite tracks. Do you have a favourite song? If so, why that one?

Happy you feel that way! Every song on this album is really special to me in one way or another. Every song has it’s own story and comes from a different place. It was really important for me to make an album where every song had it’s own place and identity.
In the music industry today it’s all about the single song and quick releases and all that, but I wanted to make a solid album where every song was special and had it’s own thing. So it’s really hard for me to pick one song, I guess it’s the same for a mother who should pick her favorite child… maybe a bad comparison, but you get it :).

In the album do the songs come from your current self, or do you extract state-of-minds from your past experiences? If so, do you find it easy going back there and re-creating those emotions in order to create a body of work around them?

I would say the songs come from both my current self and extracted state-of-minds. It’s sometimes hard to go back emotionally for many reasons. It can be a place and experience that you have for some reason been hiding from your self or a place you are afraid of going back to, but when your done it’s a relief and the process has brought you forward. So sometimes I think you have to look back to be able to go forward – even though I’m more into what’s happening right now and the future…

How did the new album title come about?

I started to write this album pretty much 3 years ago and this period has been very interesting for me both emotionally and professionally. I’ve come to terms with why I’m doing what I’m doing and that in the first place I’m doing it for my self and how important it is for my own existence to express myself.

Whilst making this album it was really important for me to try to put myself outside of my comfort zone and try not to let fear be the winning force, I just wanted to be true to my self and not care about what others might think.

I don’t know if that makes any sense and if I answered your question, but without digging too much into it I guess that’s where the title comes from.

Are there going to be music videos for all the new album songs? Your fans for sure would love to see it – we’re captivated by each one.

I’m happy to hear that. I’m not sure… I think I need to sell some more records first :)..
I was really broke after the last video… but it was definitely worth it. I have for sure a video in my head for all of the songs that I would love to create but 6 videos out of 11 songs is pretty much I guess.

When creating your new songs, is it a collaboration of writing, sounds and ideas, or do you keep it solo? What’s the usual process, or is each song a different story?

Yeah, each song on the album has come to life in really different ways. Sometimes I have a story, cords or a melody. Sometimes I just have a beat. With ‘Jackie Kennedy’ for example, I had a melody in my head for a couple of weeks that refused to leave me.
I was whistling the melody everyday back and forth to the studio. The melody became a part of me, a part of my daily life and a company that I didn’t know if I hated or in fact liked having.

‪Ola – Jackie Kennedy (Play this video in Creation 5)

Rich & Young was born after a night out. A guy came up to me and said, “I thought only people with real jobs got in here…” and then he grabbed my jeans-jacket and said “ohhh, second hand”… I wrote that one from this guy’s perspective of life.
So it’s really different. Sometimes I keep it solo and sometimes we are four people putting our skills into the songs.

‪Ola – Rich & Young (Play this video in Creation 5)

In your song ‘’Human’’ is there a ‘’A Little Drummer Boy’’ mixed in there? Did we detect that correctly? We love it! Any specific reasons to add this to the medley?

Yeah you did, I often feel like a little drummer boy myself, and when we made that ‘mid 8’ it just came naturally and felt obvious to keep it, both story wise and melodically. I’m really thankful that the original songwriters let me use it.

‪Ola – Human (Live at ‘roof of Walentynowicz’)‬ (Play this video in Creation 5)

What has been the toughest point in your whole life journey getting to where you are now?

I think to gather energy to break loose, to have the courage to just let everything go and jump – to build my own thing up.

Do you think that going through a major record label helped you become who you are, musically, today?

I would say both, if I had started out with the creative freedom I have today I would maybe be in another place right now (which I think could be both good or bad ), but I don’t know.
The ‘major record label thing’ gave me a lot of experience of the whole industry and it led me to a place today where I’m really inspired – I’m really thankful for that.

On the subject of record labels, a lot of artists break free from them for the exact reasons you did. It seems to be an all too repetitive tale amongst musicians. What’s your opinion on this?

I think when creativity meets business it’s obvious that it will create problems in many ways. It doesn’t have to but I guess it’s a healthy reaction in a way.

Which artists, if any, in today’s pop world would you love to collaborate with?

Hard question, it really needs to be a good chemistry, but of course I would love to do something with for example Robyn.

Use three words to describe your current sound:

It’s really hard for me to be objective when it comes to my own stuff… but I hope it sounds experimental, honest and fearless.

Ola – Maybe (Play this video in Creation 5)

You have been touring absolutely everywhere (almost) – how do you find it?

I love it, I love to see new places, experience different cultures and meet people from other parts of the world with different ways of seeing things. It gives me so much inspiration. To perform a long way from home and meet people who listen to my music and show up to my gigs is still so unreal to me.

The platinum eyebrows, the platinum hair. Very fitting. Will you be keeping it that way?

Ahh no, I actually have brown/red hair right now. A PR person would probably say I’m an idiot but I need to be in a constant movement and just go with that energy and inspiration and not work against it. I think I’ll always be in constant movement in both my style, sound and expression, but this album is definitely who I am right now.

Tell us a crazy/funny story from your travels:

Not sure it’s so funny but a couple of weeks ago a flight attendant came up to be before landing with my record in her hand. She told me she always has it on her travels and that she wanted me to sign it with my lips… she was totally serious. So she asked me if I could put her lipstick on and kiss the cover… I have never seen those faces on my band before…It was probably the most weird situation I’ve been in so far in this life 🙂

‪Ola – Tonight I’m Yours‬ (Play this video in Creation 5)

If you were to do a music video filtered in just one colour, what would it be and why?

Purple. It’s the strongest color if you do light therapy

Ever had difficulties in Spanish speaking countries introducing yourself? “’Hola! Soy Ola.’’ 🙂

Yeah, there’s been a couple of weird situations. As I have understood it’s not a common name in the world. In some countries it’s a girls name and I think it means shit in Turkey! And as you say it means ‘hello’ in Spanish etc. Normally, people pronounce it “ALA” instead of OOla.
I also think it means wave in some countries. So shit and wave, it’s a pretty good combo!

Ola – Losin’ It (Play this video in Creation 5)

French electronic music duo, Klingande, have been dominating the charts these past few months. In less than a year, Cédric and Edgar, went from bedroom dj/producers to reaching over a million views on YouTube and to becoming nominees at the 2014 World Music Awards… without even having released an album!

Their single Jubel peaked to number 1 in Austria, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland and Italy and their fans are hungry for the main course! But, although the super-talented Frenchies have an album in mind, they plan on making us wait a little longer.

Musically influenced by Bakermat, their journeys towards a successful musical career are alike. Less than a year ago, Cédric and Edgar were students, making music out of pure love for it, and rose to fame in the blink of an eye. Their music, a hybrid of house and jazz, has been trending in most European countries and has been for a while! What’s that got to say about the current European electronic music scene? I think we’re all enjoying a return to good-spirited and blissful summer beach vibes… which makes a delightful change from the blaring dubstep craze of 2012!

Klingande – Punga (Play this video in Creation 5)

For the 2014 World Music Awards, you’ve been nominated for “World’s Best Group” & “World’s Best Live Act” and your single Jubel has been nominated for “World’s Best Song” & “World’s Best Music Video”. How does it feel to have risen to such a high calibre of success and fame in such a short period of time? Did you ever expect your first two singles Jubel and Punga to become such global hits?

Honestly it’s unbelievable! We wanted to make a song that would please people… a song that people would like and that people would dance to, but we never expected to be N°1 in so many European countries and broadcasted on so many radio stations! We launched Jubel and Punga on the web, and only had 200 fans on Facebook at the time, which were only our friends. It’s crazy. We can thank our team management Unity Group for the amazing work they did this past year.

Jubel can be heard on the radio everywhere at the moment. What were you doing and how did you feel the first time you heard your music play on the radio or on MTV?

Cédric: I was at home just chilling and a friend of mine texted me to tell me that Jubel was on the radio – that was the first time. Then it was less of a surprise as my management filled me in on all the information about broadcasting. But each time I get in my car and put on the radio, I think I will hear my song.

Klingande – Jubel (Play this video in Creation 5)

What’s your standpoint on today’s electronic music scene or the music business in general?

Cédric: I don’t know, I don’t know the business very well. We are so young in this so called “music industry”. I’ve just discovered promotion, marketing, and all the things that are put around a band. I think there is music for everyone, and that’s the most important. Electronic music allows people to create so many different things and everybody can find his own style.

Artists like Bakermat and Klangkarussell inspire your house-meets-saxophone sound. Have you met or played with any of these guys? If so, what did you take away from that experience?

Cédric: We played a lot with Bakermat last year, and this year we have some shows lined up with Klangkarussell. It’s great to meet and to be with these artists, they are so creative and we love what they do. I feel really small when I’m with these guys.

Which other artists influence your jazzy-house style?

There are a lot of influences, from old school like Miles Davis or Jeff Brubeck to all the new deep house melodic stuff in the electronic music scene… We’re influenced by everything. We can’t really name everybody here ☺

What do you enjoy the most: producing or djing? Why?

We enjoy both, but now producing is stressful because we can’t make a track and test it out like we did with Jubel and Punga. Everybody wants the new single and we have to do something perfect.

How does the song-writing and production process begin?

Cédric: When I’m in the studio, or on the train, or in the plane… I have an idea, I start it… and sometimes I finish it. I have dozens of unfinished projects in the computer.

What about your live show? What do you tend to do before and after a gig and what can your fans expect to see and hear at the show?

Before the gig, we focus on our dj set and on the sound check of the live sax and flute. At the moment, the live set includes the live sax and flute as well as a dj set. We want to improve it, but if we tell you here, it won’t be a surprise anymore ☺

What’s the most outrageous thing that’s happened to you? Either in a nightclub, a plane, the street, a crazy encounter with a devoted fan?

The worst and most outrageous things are in nightclubs. Sometimes, you arrive in a club that booked you just because you’re a little bit famous, but nobody knows who you are there and you’re standing outside at the front door, explaining to the doorman that you’re here to play. We really don’t like these kinds of moments.

You’re currently recording an album, if I’m correct? Could you please shed some light on the musical direction that you’re taking and when it will be released?

Right now, we’re focusing on the new single but we’re keeping the album in mind. We already have some tracks that we’ve reserved for it. We want to make an album that will be progressive, with a real background and a story behind it. We’re working on it but we want to take our time to work with great musicians and vocalists to bring something, which will really be KLINGANDE 😉

Like I said, the fans are dying for Klingande’s first album to be released! Let’s hope they won’t let us starve to death!

What a smashing year it’s been for the stars that are rock n’ rolling in gold. The highest paid musicians of 2013 cover all genres, including folk, country, rap, rock and hip-hop. However, the bestsellers are country and rock, which seem to bring in the highest revenues, making up the majority of music’s top 10 money makers. Let’s have a look at the music industry’s 2013 greatest successes.

1. Taylor Swift (2013 Earnings: $39,699,575.60)

23-year-old country music heroine, Miss Taylor Swift, struck a double hat-trick last year in touring, digital and physical sales and in merchandising, branding and sponsorships – hitting a home run and beating high grossing artists like Beyoncé and Justin Timberlake. The singer-songwriter’s 2012 album “Red” hit nº2 in 2013 US Billboard 200 charts and sold out arenas across the world. While her six months US “Red” tour alone brought in revenue of an estimated $30 million, the album hit almost 10 million downloads, topping the country music sales, ranking sixth in digital sales, and fifth in streaming royalties. What’s more, Swift is thought to bring in an additional estimated $10 million thanks to the pandemonium caused by merchandise sales ($17 per head) and to the tour’s three sponsors (Keds, Elizabeth Arden and Diet Coke) whose cash value is estimated to be in the high seven digits.

2. Kenny Chesney (2013 Earnings: $32,956,240.70)

In 2013, Kenny Chesney released his latest album “Life on a Rock”, topping the charts for the 7th time. Along with the album’s strong digital and physical sales, country music’s “stadium king” exceeded an audience of 1 million. Chesney continues to be one of the most consistent money makers in the music industry.

3. Justin Timberlake (2013 Earnings: $31,463,297.03)

It’s clear that after a seven-year break from music, Justin Timberlake needed to come back with a bang! “The 20/20 Experience” did anything but disappoint. In fact, it went kaboom! According to Billboard, it sold over 2 million copies and was the biggest selling album of 2013. The royalties for digital albums, tracks and streaming generated $5 million alone. Furthermore, JT grossed $43 million in his solo tour, performing in front of almost 1 million fans over 39 shows, and brought in a gross $60 million across the 12 dates of his “Legends of the Summer” stadium tour with Jay Z. What a rewarding comeback it was for our beloved JT!

4. Bon Jovi (2013 Earnings: $ 29,436,801.04)

Bon Jovi’s “Because We Can Tour” is the top grossing tour of 2013. Bon Jovi’s earnings for their international non-stop stadium tour grossed more than $83 million and their twelfth studio album “What About Now” (released in 2013) peaked Billboard 200. The American rock band churned out a figure of almost $300,000 in royalties, with more than 1 million digital downloads, and $150,000 in streaming royalties. Besides their top-of-the-charts success and ceaseless sell-out-tours, merchandise sales reached the eight-figure range and has collected an estimated $2 million per year in online sales.

5. The Rolling Stones (2013 Earnings: $26,225,121.71)

The legendary English rock band’s 50th anniversary called for a celebration and, in 2013, AEG Live offered them a limited North America tour, with an $80 million guarantee for 15 shows. The Stones sold out every show, grossing an average of $4.7 million. In addition, their greatest hits album “GRRR!” (2012), featuring two new tracks “Doom and Gloom” and “One More Shot”, reached a number of almost 300,000 in physical album sales and 1.5 million in digital track downloads. On top of that, The Stones’ 2012 5 show-tour generated an estimated $15 million in merchandise sales, excluding online and retail sales. According to Billboard sources, “a multifaceted tour partnership with Citi was worth another $5 million to the band”. One thing’s clear, The Rolling Stones definitely haven’t burnt out yet!

The Rolling Stones – Doom and Gloom (Play this video in Creation 5)

6. Beyoncé (2013 Earnings: $24,429,176.86)

Beyoncé’s 2013 surprise itunes album release took the world by storm, kicking off at nº1 on Billboard 200 and earning a total of $1.6 million in album sales. Ranking at nº8 on Billboard’s top 25 tours of 2013, Beyoncé’s 132-date “Mrs. Carter Show World Tour”, including her appearance at the SuperBowl, grossed a fierce $104.4 million, $59 of which accounted for U.S. dates only.

Beyoncé – Drunk in Love (Play this video in Creation 5)

7. Maroon 5 (2013 Earnings: $22,284,754.07)

Maroon 5’s “Overexposed” World Tour made over $17.6 million in 2013, landing the group in the ranking of top 10 biggest music money makers of 2013. This included the group’s headlining slot on the 12th run of the annual Honda Civic Tour and an appearance at the Hollywood Bowl. While three of the band’s tracks landed spots on Billboard Hot 100, with “Payphone” at nº2, “Daylight” at nº7 and “One More Night” peaking for nine weeks straight, their track sales hit a total of 7.6 million, almost amounting to what they earned on catalogue album sales royalties.

8. Luke Bryan (2013 Earnings: $22,142,235.98)

American pop country singer, Luke Bryan, is the swiftest rising star in country music since Miss Swift herself, selling a total of 23 million albums and 7.6 million digital tracks in 2013, with an additional $15.4 million earned in his fourth studio album, “Crash My Party”, 2013 tour.

9. P!nk (2013 Earnings: $20,072,072.32)

Her 2012 album “The Truth About Love” was P!nk’s first nº1 album, accounting for 934,000 of the 1.3 million albums she sold in 2013. “Try” reached nº9 on Billboard’s 2013 Hot 100, while “Just Give Me A Reason” featuring Nate Reuss (performed at the 2013 Grammy Awards) hit nº1, rising to 8 million in digital song sales and earning $1.4 in royalties.

Released yesterday (March 3) the long awaited new album from the man of the moment has arrived! There are so many fantastic collaborations on the album – Justin Timberlake, Miley Cyrus, Daft Punk, Alicia Keys – it’s too good to be true! Billboard have given the album an 85 rating and Pharrell himself describes it rather succinctly as “festive and urgent”. The album is incredibly positive, packed full of joie de vivre – it’s just the summer album we need.

Pharrell has spoken about it being a “celebration of women”, because we all know how much Pharrell loves women, right? It’s perfect for the helpless romantics amongst us and is loaded with sexual metaphors, but nothing heavy, it’s all about playfulness and joy.

Pharrell’s latest single, Happy, the fifth track on the new album, is Nº1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and Nº1 in the UK – in fact it has broken all records in the UK by becoming the first single in 57 years to reach number 1 three times! It has spawned a plethora of covers and copies and is likely to stay on the radio waves for weeks to come. And why not? What a great song – brilliantly simple and incredibly contagious, just listening to it makes you Happy!

Here’s a track by track review

1- Marilyn Monroe
With the strings arrangement by Hans Zimmer, this opening cinematic song is performed by a 30-piece orchestra. You’ll hear plenty of famous women’s names in the chorus and will be exhorted to “dance and elevate each other”.

2- Brand New ft. Justin Timberlake
High falsettos and congo rhythms, this song is about the rejuvenating power of love. Certainly one of the stronger candidates for a single. Great to hear Justin and Pharrell together, this partnership just works.

3- Hunter
A sexy, heavy breathing number “Hey baby, my love is callin’ / Hey baby, my sex is callin’”. It’s a track straight out of the 70’s.

4- Gush
Well, I guess you could say this is the sex song of the album (not surprising with a title like that). The lyrics tell the steamy story “take off your halo and wings” – “light that ass on fire” and “leave those panties in flames.” Well, girls, why not?

5- Happy – no explanation needed!

Pharrell Williams – Happy (Play this video in Creation 5)

6- Come Get it Bae ft. Miley Cyrus
Pharrell has been instrumental in helping the singer’s transition from child star to superstar, and in this track they have fun. There’s plenty of clapping and screams – a bit of a party number. Chorus: “You wanna ride it, my motorcycle / You got a license, well you got a right to / wanna pop a wheelie, don’t try too hard to, cuz girl I like you.”

7- Gust of Wind ft. Daft Punk
For us this is the stand out track on the album. It’s a strings-and-bass disco jam that will have you wearing out the repeat button. It feels like it could have come from Random Access Memories – but feels completely at home next to tracks like Happy.

Pharrell ft. Daft Punk – Gust of Wind

8- Lost Queen
Could be a tribute to women that are out of this world? “What planet are you from, girl?” It’s sort of tribal and does promise “hot sex and gold shiny things”.

9- I Know Who You Are ft. Alicia Keys
A bit of sensitivity from Pharrell “I know who you are and I know what you’re feeling” with a taste of ska flavor. Alicia is wonderfully soulful.

10- It Girl
It’s all about the sex, basically. The power that women exert over men “your waves wash all over me,”. For sure this album has been inspired by the great time Pharrell has with women.
