New project by Per releases album - tomorrow
Written by tevensso on January 11, 2006 to Per Gessle.
STOCKHOLM (UPDATED) - 
Per Gessle, Gyllene Tider, Roxette, The Lonely Boys, Son of a Plumber and now… Bad Hair Day! Bad Hair Day releases a totally secret album - tomorrow, (on his birthday). The album is free of charge, and can be found for download, together with a printable sleeve, at Per’s official site. More surprises to follow.
Per’s own comment: “I’ve got boxes and drawers of so many songs & ideas & rubbish lying around my house and I just felt like sharing all this with you guys out there! I guess it’s basically for the hardcore fan, but still, it’s kinda interesting if you’re into the mesmerizing enigma of songwriting…..
I start with “Mazarin” because I made lots of demos for that particular album. However, a few songs were written in the studio so no demos exist for the two colourful and epic statements “Smakar på ett regn” & “Spegelboll”…
Yeehaa!”
The tracklist is as follows:
- Vilket håll du än går
- Om du bara vill
- På promenad genom stan
- Gungar
- Födelsedag
- Sakta mina steg
- Tycker om när du tar på mej
- För bra för att vara sant
- Här kommer alla känslorna (på en och samma gång)
- Jag tror du bär på en stor hemlighet
- Varmt igen
- Mazarin
Per has written no less than 651 songs according to STIM during his career - so far of course. Per’s career has lasted about 28 years now, so that makes a new released song every two weeks. You have to admit that he’s been quite productive.
Oh and by the way, the name of this album is “Mazarin Demos.”

Wow!!!
That means we will get all these demos for free?!?!
Amazing...

Oh wow. That’s great news :-)
It’s definitely the way forward for artistes to make available material for free to a keen and strong fanbase. The loyalty is usually repaid by support during official releases. I’ve seen other bands create a lot of interest on websites and forums and then do very well commercially. Let’s hope it’s the same for Per’s future projects!
Best wishes from Rich ;-)
PS I seem to remember that Smakar På Ett Regn and Spegelboll were written towards the end of the Mazarin sessions so maybe there aren’t demos for these songs?

Nice touch, Thomas - putting the “By the way...” on the second page of the article (-: I really thought it was a joke! This is really a cool thing for Per to do!

Why would this be a joke?? The release is at midnight CET.

and shine, your clever answer should be “Tomorrow never knows”

First of all: really great idea! Guess I’ll have to stay awake until midnight, there’s no way I could sleep knowing the songs are up already - I just hope the server won’t crash...
