A new interview

Go to http://nojesguiden.se/artikel/aterkomsten and you'll find a short but revealing interview about Salem's comeback. I've translated this so hopefully it's ok! (My own comments are in brackets)

In the interview he reveals the difference between recording his first album, for himself, in the basement, and the pressure of a second album which people are waiting to hear. He says that he is still trying to make music which he wants to make, rather than that which he expects others to like. (I'm glad that he continues to be true to himself!)

He also stated that the person putting the most pressure on him is....himself, as he feels he constantly has to prove himself.

Salem said that, like "This Is Who I Am" he has written music and lyrics, recorded and produced the album himself, but has included some friends and also a guest appearance from the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra on one track (ooh, which one I wonder? "Purple Lady" or "One of the Others"? I hope!) He described his lyrics as very different and more playful, and the music reflects the happy and sad times he has experienced. He hoped that people would recognise this when listening to the album.

Finally, Salem admits to being a control freak! (And why not! We love him for it, especially if it results in such wonderful music) ;))))
