TRASHED HIS OWN ALBUM
The background to the new album and the cooperation with american producers costs. Darin chose to trash his new album completely - to start over. To Aftonbladet he said last fall that he hadn't felt bad that the album wasn't good enough, but "when it comes to the music I am a perfectionist. It has to work out. Now the international market is important to me".
There were many good songs there too. But it didn't feel like the right style for me right now. It was a tough decision, but I started over. Then I signed a publishing company deal with BMG Chrysalis. Which was completely right in time because then I could go over to the USA and write with people over there.
A publishing company deal in the music business means that he now takes a big step to also becoming a frequent songwriter to others. He has already cooperated with Max Martin, RedOne, Jörgen Elofsson and Billy Mann, but now he gets more international. Darin, who has won both Swedish Grammys, Rockbjörnar (Swedish music awards) and had songs at number 1 on the top charts and platinum sellings, seems satisfied.
I went down to their main office in Berlin and had a meeting. I said that I wanted to work with them and them, and then they fixed that, he says.
In a press release Thomas Schrerer at BMG says that "Darin isn't just a fantastic pop artist but also a talented songwriter for these times music in different genres" and that they look forward to promoting him as a songwriter and artist in
Europe, USA and Asia.
- My favorite album so far, and it feels good to say, is the new one. Jim Beanz has cooperated a lot with Timbaland and I have listened to Nelly Furtado much, among others. I wanted to do something in that style but 2013, says Darin.
