Loved Kenny Leckremo' voice, as it fitted them perfectly, but I am interested to hear what Mr Grönwall will bring to the band.

Erik Gronwall is brilliant! Fantastic voice. Check out his new solo album....great stuff. A few cuts on there that BJB would give his left nut to write and record.

Never really listened to Heat that much, but have been listening to some of Eriks stuff on Youtube and I have to say his voices is amazing.

And who cares that he was on Pop Idol, or whatever they call it, the simple fact is the tunes he was performing would not be performed on the UK or US variants, which makes their version even cooler.

I'd be totally stunned if I ever heard Van Halen, Maiden and Skid Row on the UK version.

Just downloaded and listened to both his solo albums, and I have to say his second album seems to have deviated from his obvious love of the classics, and I get a feeling that the record company is trying to steer him into a more modern direction. My guess would be that joining H.E.A.T. would be his way of regaining that rock style.

From H.E.A.T. newsletter:

 

"We have so much nice stuff coming up so we want you to keep busy keeping track of whats going on! :)

We're aiming for a recording of an EP or something to get a fresh start with Erik and sometime in the beginning/middle of 2011 we want to have a full length album out. We want to make a music video for you guys as well so we've put that on the drawing board (as we say in Sweden).

Good times ahead, stay tuned! "

 

Sounds great indeed!

Never heard of the dude at all but if he won that TV show I assume he has a good voice and I'm just glad HEAT aren't throwing in the towel, and they're going onwards... regardless of who is fronting them. :) Can't wait to hear new stuff.

Search for his stuff on youtube. During Swedish Idol he covered songs like Bryan Adams - Heaven, Bon Jovi - Always, Van Halen - Why cant this be love, Kiss - Shout it loud, Iron Maiden - Run to the hills & Skid Row - 18 & life.

Think that pretty much shows where he is musically!

His solo album is the best modern rock disc ive heard this year - fantastic rock/pop.

I love that "Crash N' Burn" song, but can't find the album anywhere...

Have just listened to both his albums again, and I have to say that on second listen, the second album is a top album.

Timeless (which I believe is a co-write with Paul Stanley) is a classic Bon Jovi-esque ballad, and even reminded me of Never say goodbye at the start!

Yep, Timeless is excellent.

 

'Breathe In Breathe Out' is a fav too....brilliant uptempo pop/rock

 

'Destination Anywhere'.......excellent

 

In fact there's hardly a filler on board.

 

Modern rock album of the year for me :-))

Wow, will check out his solo stuff immediately. It's completely passed me by at this point.

 

His latest disc is a good one. It's a bit generic & his vocals are very reminiscent of that European-Stage Dolls/Evenrude version of the Bryan Adams sound, just a little lighter. "Crash N' Burn" is the best tune by far IMO. He's definitely a talented singer though, with very little evidence of an accent, and will probably add a more modern slant to the H.E.A.T sound as he's not a pure AOR-vocalist...

Heard both his albums last night. I actually enjoyed quite a lot on the covers album... it was nice stuff. His proper disc is good too. As Tim says, it's pretty much a generic Idol rock CD, but like the rest of them it's pretty damn good. He does have a very good voice too and should slot nicely into HEAT, vocally at least. Visually he's a bit of twerpy looking fella. :lol: But yeah, should be good for HEAT and bring them some more deserved attention. Surely he's personally taking a backwards step in terms of record sales by joining HEAT, isn't he?

I'd doubt he is taking a sales step backwards as the will give him more exposure outside of Sweden, as very few people seem to be selling his CDs internationally.

On top of that, I doubt he will walk away from his solo career anyway, so it would just be extra revenue on top of his solo album sales.

  • 2024 HH Donation Drive

    Please support Heavy Harmonies! The donations goal is the out-of-pocket expenses to run the main site and this board for calendar year 2024.

    Donate Sidebar by DevFuse
  • Posts

    • Sorry my donation is small, but you know my circumstances Done It will be under name Andrew Sharp  
    • Well... I mean... it's true.   Time once again to nag/beg/plead/insult (wait, what?) to help out covering Heavy Harmonies' expenses. Costs for the site run roughly US$195 a month, roughly the same as last several years.  So when I say "costs", what do I mean? It's the out-of-pocket expenses to keep Heavy Harmonies running: server lease, bandwidth, hosting support, and the subscription for this forum software, domain registration. The 2023 drive did pretty well, reaching 83% of goal of covering the annual costs. Let's see if we can meet, or better yet, beat that goal! The donation drive will run through Halloween, October 31.   Anyone who makes a single donation of $20 or more and has a board username will be added to the group "2024 Donors". This gets you the following benefits: A nice shiny icon in your profile showing that you are an HH Donor for 2024:  An increase in the size of your PM storage from 200 to 500 messages An increase in image attachment/upload storage from 20MB to 50MB Exempt from the search flood control (normally if you try and do a search more than every 10 seconds, you get an annoying little "please wait" message) No time limit on editing your own posts! This will especially be useful for those with trade/sale lists as you'll be able to edit them rather than posting revised versions. A warm fuzzy feeling inside that you are helping support Heavy Harmonies! If you donate $50 during the drive, either as a single donation or across multiple donations, you will be added to the group "2024 Gold Donors". This gets you the following in addition to the above: A bigger, shiny badge:  All your posts will be highlighted, because if you show this much dedication to HH, what you have to say is obviously more more important! (just kidding, but your posts will be accentuated). The ability to create a forum "signature" that will be added to all of your posts. If you donate using buttons on the main site, please put your board username in the notes section, and if you donate from here on the forum, please PM me the email address that you sent the donation from! Otherwise I have no way to tie your donation to your membership here on the board. If you are currently in the 2023 donor groups but don't wish to donate this year (or can't), at the beginning of the donation drive, your group membership features will revert to the regular non-donator membership group. Membership in the 2024 Donors group will last until the beginning of next year's donation drive, at which point you can donate again to remain in the Donors group with the same benefits, or revert back to your current member group. PayPal donation buttons are found at the top of all the pages on the main site and here on the forum on the right side at the top, or if you'd prefer to send a money order, check, or cash (not recommended, but I know some people prefer to do so), you can make payable to Dan Harding and send to: Heavy Harmonies P.O. Box 17021 Urbana, IL 61803 USA If you can't give $20, give $10... if you can't give $10, give $5... it's just once a year. (And if you happen to be fortunate enough to be earning gobs of money, please feel free to give bunches! I'm not opposed to having a sugar daddy... or seven.) As always, your support is greatly appreciated! -Dan
