scandipop: Melodically too, it’s such a strong album. So strong that it’s difficult for me to pick any favourites yet. But do you yourself have any favourites? Although I’m sure it’s hard for you to choose between them since they’re all almost like your babies!
Darin: I think it’s ‘I’ll Be Alright’. I think that’s my favourite song. And then of the uptempo songs, I’d say it’s ‘Microphone’.
scandipop: ‘Microphone’ is quite special, yeah. It’s like a huge stadium pop number isn’t it?!
Darin: Yes! Exactly. It’s gonna be fun singing it live up on stage.
scandipop: Reaction to the album online has so far been overwhelmingly positive. But do you ever actually read about yourself online and what people are thinking about you and your music?
Darin: Sometimes I do, but it’s good to keep your own opinion. To feel like, you know, this music is good. And you can go crazy if you read about yourself too much too, you know!
scandipop: I can imagine yeah! But then I also imagine that it’s quite difficult not to read about yourself too. For example, your album is out this week, and it’s the first new music from you in a while. So I’m sure that you’re dying to know what your fans think of it!
Darin: Of course, yes. And I also do read what the fans think, as that’s really important to me. And I’m really happy that they like it.
scandipop: And has the reaction in the Swedish press been positive also?
Darin: Yeah it’s been really good actually. So it makes me very happy, ha ha!
scandipop: Good! So this is your first album on your new deal with Universal. But what happened with Sony? Why didn’t you stay with them?
Darin: Well I had 4 records in the contract with them, and I did that. And then I just felt like I wanted to try working with some new people. So I released the ‘Viva La Vida’ song with Universal, and it felt really good, it was number one! I was like, wow, they’re doing a great job. And so I wanted to continue working with them after that.
scandipop: Ok. And of course when you first signed with Sony, you were fresh out of Idol and a lot younger. So now that you’re more experienced, when it came to signing with a new label, did you have a clearer image of exactly what you wanted them to be offering you, for you to sign with them?
Darin: It just has to be a really good deal. That’s so important because now I know exactly what I want in the contract. It’s important to have the best deal possible. For me and for them, so that it works for both parties. But you want a good deal for you. You want to work with people who believe in you and who are good.
scandipop: And as you just mentioned, ‘Viva La Vida’ was your first single in the new deal. It’s a great cover version and it’s gone one to become one of your most successful singles to date, so it all worked out well for you. But it was quite a big risk to cover such a popular song, and one that was so recent too.

Darin: Yes, ha ha, it was.
scandipop: So what was the reasoning behind it, at the time?
Darin: It was really unexpected. I actually didn’t plan to release it as a single. But the Swedish Idol tv show wanted me to sing that song at the series finale. So me and Universal decided to release it the same day. And then it went straight to number one, which was so unexpected. But I was really glad, I just didn’t expect it.
scandipop. Ok. So……Melodifestivalen now.
Darin: Yes!
scandipop: I imagine that you’ve been asked to do it every single year since becoming famous, and that you’ve always said no. So what made you finally say yes to doing it this year?
Darin: It was actually the song. I opened my email, had it there in my inbox, listened to it on my headphones, and was like, wow – I really like the song, I wanna do a demo version of it. So when I got the demo version back and listened, I decided to participate. Because the song was already for Melodifestivalen.
scandipop: And then how was the whole experience for you?
Darin: Wow………ha, I knew it was gonna be a big thing, but ha ha, I didn’t expect it to be like it was. I was really really nervous the first week, before I went through to the final. I woke up every morning and I was so nervous. Because all the newspapers were like, yeah of course he’s gonna make it. But I was like, what if I don’t make it?! But then I went through to the final……and got top 5……so I was happy, but……you know. I was nervous during the whole thing.
scandipop: And do you think that perhaps you were so nervous, that you actually weren’t able to enjoy it in that case?
Darin: I enjoyed it once I’d made it to the final. I was really happy then, ha ha. But that was the most nervous part, before I knew I was in the final.
scandipop: And would you ever do it again, do you think?
Darin: Not right now, but……I’ll never say never. Maybe in ten years, when I’m older. But not right now. I’ve always felt that if I’m gonna do it, I’m only gonna do it once.
scandipop: And would you have liked to have gone to Eurovision as a result of winning? Or did it actually suit you better to just have a hit with ‘You’re Out Of My Life’, launch your album, and not have the pressure of competing in Eurovision for Sweden?
Darin: Ummmm…….it would have been fun of course. I wanted to make it all the way, but at the same time……………I don’t know. Of course I wanted to make it all the way, ha ha.

这周,瑞典超级星星我们的darling公布了职业生涯定义为其“完美流行民谣”的专辑。这是其在新东家环球唱片出的第一张专辑,而之前其已经在索尼旗下发布了4张专辑, 能感觉到darin想在音乐方面有所造诣并且努力着。他参与创作了专辑中的所有歌曲,除了参加MF比赛的那一支歌外,这次所有歌曲都融入了他自己的意识和独创性。达林,最终,他的歌迷会爱上这张专辑。尽管这种专辑在风格上有了很大的变化,但是却任然得到了新老歌迷的支持和赞扬。你可以一遍一遍反复欣赏这种专辑,加以验证。
当一张专辑做得如此的好,我们总是要向歌者发问!亲爱的darin~我们也想听到自己对于过去一年中在事业上的改变及想法(其在专辑中其大胆的尝试了开场曲'麦克风'这种风格的曲目),他第一次参加在Melodifestivalen ,为迈向国际化的道路做计划。
采访~~~~~~~
scandipop:您好darin!所以,本周你发行了你的新专辑。这是你的第5张专辑啦~。你任然有像发售第一张专辑一样的紧张和兴奋么?还是现在的感觉完全不同?
darin:其实我还是会紧张,而且我仍然感到非常兴奋,因为为此我花了很长的时间。也为这些歌曲筹备了一年,最终将其最完美的诠释出来!~
scandipop:恩~你参与了这张专辑很多歌曲的创作。是否参与了所有歌曲的创作呢?
darin:是的,我同专辑制作团队共同完成了这种专辑除了”You’re Out Of My Life’这首歌。其
中I’ll Be Alright’ 词曲都是我创作的。
scandipop: 还有你写了这么些关于你自己的歌,这是不是会让你觉得更加自豪,当你专心写作时,歌曲融入了很多你的个人感情色彩么?
darin:没错,是的。特别是歌词,这一切都来源于我的生活感触。
scandipop:当音乐创作,你做了哪些贡献呢?是词还是曲抑或后期制作?
darin:都有。我认为所有这三个部分都同样重要。我通常做音乐第一,或至少其中的一部分。然后,我写的旋律,然后歌词,然后后期制作。我多数的创作如同现代诗歌一般。以另一种方式描述事物。例如,“在水中溺水”是指哭到如洪水泛滥般(形容极度伤心 - -囧!),所以比喻你觉得自己淹没在水中。

Darin: 是啊,呵呵。
scandipop: 那么在当时这背后有什么原因吗?
Darin: 这是出乎意料的。我没有打算把它作为单曲发行。但是瑞典偶像节目组希望我在那届的总决赛上表演这首歌。所以我和环球公司决定在同一天发行这张单曲。然后我也没有想到,它就那么噌噌噌地升到了第一。我真的很高兴,但是我没有想到会这么成功。
scandipop. 好的。现在轮到Melodifestivalen
Darin: 好!
scandipop: 我能想象到自从你出道以来每年都会被邀请参赛,但是你总是拒绝了。所以是什么让你最终决定参加今年的比赛呢?
Darin: 是那首歌。我打开我的email,就看到了它,插上耳机听了下,然后就觉得,哇塞~我太爱这首歌了,我想给它录个小样。所以当我拿到小样,听了之后,我决定参赛了。因为这歌就是为参加Melodifestivalen而生的么。
scandipop: 那么这对你来说是个什么样的经历?
Darin: 哇……哈,我知道它会是件big thing,但是,哈哈,我没想到会变成这样。在进入决赛前的预赛那一周,我非常非常的紧张。我每天早上都会惊醒,我太紧张了。因为所有的报纸都觉得,是啊他当然能进决赛的。但是我一直在想,如果我没进怎么办?!但是当我进了决赛……拿到前五……我太开心了,但是……整个过程中我都很紧张。
scandipop: 你觉得有没有可能是因为你太紧张了,所以没能好好享受这个比赛?
Darin: 当宣布我进了决赛后,我就放开很多了。我那时真的很高兴,哈哈。但是我最紧张的时刻是宣布结果的时候。
scandipop: 你觉得你有可能再参加一次吗?
Darin: 至少不是现在,但是……世事无绝对。也许再过十年,当我更老练些的时候。不过不是现在。我总是这么觉得,如果我要参加的话。一次就够了。
scandipop: 你是希望进入Eurovision竞争冠军呢?或者你觉得你更适合来发首当红单曲“You’re Out Of My Life”,接着发专辑,没有参加Eurovision,为瑞典而战的压力?
Darin: 恩……这当然会很有趣。我两者都想做,但是在同一时间就。我当然想两者都做了,哈哈。
scandipop: 好。回到这张专辑上来。除了“You’re Out Of My Life”和“Viva La Vida”,还有三首歌是先于专辑发行的。你觉得在未来还会在专辑中选歌来发单曲吗?
Darin: 我觉得会的。
scandipop: 那么你会选哪首歌来发单曲?
Darin: 我不知道,现在要我选出一首蛮困难的。
scandipop: 你想选“I’ll Be Alright”吧,然后就能一人独享所有荣耀了,哈哈!
Darin: 哈哈,正是!额,最终要的是它要有那么好,哈哈。但是,我真的不知道。我不知道现在要选哪首。
scandipop: 你的粉丝急切的想知道你这张专辑会不会拍MV,现在还没有拍过MV吧。
Darin: 是的,我会在最近4天里拍摄“Lovekiller”的MV。
scandipop: 啊,我知道了,好的。
Darin: 是,3到4天。
scandipop: 那你知道些大致内容吗?
Darin: 当然!
scandipop: …………那能告诉我吗?
Darin: 不行啦,哈哈。不好意思了~
scandipop: 好吧。你有没有计划要在瑞典以外发行这张专辑?
Darin: 肯定有的么。当然啦,我要先在这里发行,但是我正在计划着呢。希望能在欧洲的部分国家发行。我觉得这需要点时间,因为我要在瑞典好好的宣传一番,这很重要。
scandipop: 我必须要问一下会不会在英国发。很显然,你的老东家索尼在去年底帮你在英国发行了“Breathing Your Love”单曲,并用力宣传了下。
Darin: 是的,我听说了,单丝我并不是那个计划的参与者,所以我不是很清楚这件事。我甚至不知道他们要在那里发行单曲,哈哈。na
scandipop: 额,好吧。那你估计环球这次会带你进入英国市场吗?
Darin: 我想我们要看哪家公司想要帮我们在那里发行了。实际上,几个礼拜之前我有去过英国,和一些唱片公司洽谈,我很兴奋哟。
scandipop: 哦,太激动人心了!最后,2010对你的事业和你的音乐来说是伟大的一年。那么你对2011年有什么期望呢?
Darin: 我觉得就是这个了——走出国门走向世界!我希望更多人听到我的音乐,我也希望去更多的国家(你不怕坐飞机啦= =)这就是我的目标了。
scandipop: 所以你2011年的目标是红遍全球?!
Darin: 哈哈,是的!
