STOCKHOLM - Marie Fredriksson will release her new album "Min bäste vän" ("My Best Friend") on June 14. On the new album, she gives her own, personal interpretation of the music she grew up with during the end of the '60s and the beginning of the '70s.

  You'll find songs from artists like John Holm, Fred Åkerström, Pugh Rogefeldt and the Hoola Bandoola Band on this album, along with many others.

  As early as May 15 she will release the first single, the John Holm song "Sommaräng" ("Summer Meadow").

  Marie has again worked with her husband Micke Bolyos as both producer and arranger. The album's been recorded at her at-home studio Vinden during the winter months. Marie and Micke worked with a small group of musicians: guitarists Ola Gustavsson, Staffan Astner and Jokke Pettersson; brothers Per & Sven Lindvall drums and bass guitar and Mats Ronander plays the harmonica on Pugh's song "Guldgruva" ("Gold Mine").
