If that’s the cover it’s misprinted, cause the songs title is “Like it like that”, not “I like it like that”.

The song is called “I Like it Like That” nothing else.

Isn’t this the same date as Marie’s new single... it’s the same week i supose there’s only one release day for singles an albums, right? And if it is, is this the first time both Per and Marie release the on the same date?

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

Yes i’m aware of that but wouldn’t be the first time EMI makes a mess out of dates... And the most common thing is that there’s only one date per week for releases...

i hate this picture... the worst SOAP-cover in my opinion.

The cover is pretty baisc, huh?
A Per and Marie single in the same week? Interesting. Looking forward to PIP #2

What a brilliant way to celebrate out national day :D

actually, I’m not sure if singles are released the SAME day..
I’ve been thinking that singles/albums in Sweden are released always on Wednesdays, and May 15 is a Monday.. so if this rule applies to ALL artists, Marie’s single should also be released on May 17.. The album is indeed out on a Wednesday..

I agree with the posters above: I don’t like that photo either. Per looks old on it, maybe older than in fact he is. One of the worst pics from that session...

Question:
Will be this the last single off the album, accoding to the sticker on the double-CD? I don’t remember (and I don’t have it to check it by myself).

Awful cover, in my opinion!
Don’t like it at all, don’t like even the single choise! ILILT isn’t Son Of A Plumber, it’s just a traditional PG-song.
I wonder if Substitute is still going to see the light...might work for the summer better.
Besides, I recall Per saying that ballads never really worked in the summertime...*shrugs*
GT_85 said on April 29, 2006 10:55:
Agree with Animalkingdom. Substitute would be a perfect summer song. Här kommer alla känslorna (på en och samma gång) had it´s radio realease around the same time in 2003. And it was a major hit the whole summer. Also How do you do! But a ballad? After another ballad? Well. I dont think so. But i hope im wrong.

hehehe... he looked uhhh... quite cool on the cover...
Roxryder-V2002 said on April 29, 2006 12:40:
in case it is, is it the first time it happens that both of them release a singel on the same date?
And this time releasing a ballad after a ballad it’s a good choice I Like It Like That is among the best on the album and it’s the more radio friendly. I can see it doing quite alright on radio it’s a great song for a world full of Blunts and Powters and it is a great song :)
tcooh said on April 29, 2006 16:46:
Well my sticker also lists “Substitute (for the real deal)” amongst the hit singles, hehe.
Room_service said on April 29, 2006 20:11:
This song is not my cup of tea. But come on, the SOAP album only includes 4 songs more or less commercial. The only songs suitable for the radio are:
- Jo-anna Says
- Hey Mr. DJ
- I Like It Like That
- Substitute
So, the singles are totally accurate. The rest of the songs are too old-fashioned, the singles are wise!

I guess this song could be pretty successful IN AUSTRIA because it reminds me (and probably lots of other Austrians) a lot of a popular 80s melancholic dialect song by Austrian celebrated musicians called “STS” – http://flo.rootspace.net/STS-Grossvater.mp3

I like the cover, but Per’s face indeed looks a bit tired - maybe he was tired of the photosession??
In Italy singles and albums are usually released and available in shops since Friday, but sometimes there are exceptions to this, I wouldn’t know why...
The sticker on the album here mentions “C’mon” as a hit single too - but I actually hate that song, wouldn’t want it to be released as a single!
Bunio said on April 29, 2006 23:47:
@Secretkeeper81 - C’mon was the first single (along with jo-anna says) :) so the worst is behind you :)

Mmm Plumber in progress II could actually be interesting ... got some of my favs included there! But still an alternative Maxi with mixes would be super kewl!!!
