STOCKHOLM (Updated) - 
The Daily Roxette is proud to present the world premiere of a snippet of the forthcoming single "En händig man." The single will be relased to radio Monday May 21 and to stores May 23. Enjoy!
By the way, take a stroll to the new site where Per blogs about the new video shoot.
Both Rix FM's MorgonZoo and Mix Megapol's Äntligen Morgon med Adam & Gry will play the single early Monday morning. Per will be a guest at Rix FM, and possibly even Mix Megapol. Both radio stations have webcasts. Per will be on Rix around 07:25 and Mix Megapol shortly after that.

I don’t understand a word but it sounds cool too me. It reminds me a little bit mazarin and soap.
(It’s cool to be one of the first to comment ;) )
Belive it or not, there is some fans in France, at least one... me !

Hmm... I’m little bit skeptic...
But if the album is at least half as good as Mazarin it’ll be great :)

Sweet!
One part of this snippet makes me think of “Sol vind och vatten” by Ted Gärdestad.....hmm don’t know why but it just jumped into my mind....

I had the feeling of having already heard part of the melody, now that you mentioned sol vind och vatten, i instantly knew why :-)

This snippet of the song reminds me sound of Per Gessle and Scener albums. And I don´t like this part of Per´s music legacy. May I´ll change my opinion after listening the whole song / album. But right now I´m not excited about swedish solo Per.

sounds like the theme song to a 1970’s american tv sitcom lol...eh it’s swedish bleh.

Can’t wait anymore to hear the whole song on MixMegapol Monday morning. See you in Stockholm!!!

I love it... The “Jag är en händig man” part at the start reminds me of a part of the Theme from ALF *LOL*
I JUST LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!!!

I think that this song isn’t good. Could be more pop or tempo. It’s a “ha ha ha” or “café” song ??? Maybe another song will be good....

How is it possible that Per never fails to produce a catchy, heartwarming song? I can’t really say what it reminds me of, might be no Per song at all, but I like it... the lyrics too...whatever we could hear now...

How wonderful that we have a chance to listen to this 30-minute snippet. A really mouth-watering piece of music I must admit. I want more!!!
gyllene_tjej said on May 18, 2007 13:36:
lol 30 minute?? That would be something. :)But what we’ve been given so far is quite a treat as well :)

I wouldn’t say it sounds like the “Per Gessle” and “Scener” eras (which I love) because the sound is too full... more like a combination of “På Promenad Genom Stan” and “Kung av Sand” with a little “I Like It Like That” thrown in (-: Anyway, sounds good so far!
edit: I wrote “Kung of Sand,” ha ha... my Swenglish is improving!

Jag kommer hem till Dej, jag är en händig man.
Jag finns för Dej, jag kommer så fort jag bara kan.
Jag lyssna på Dej, håller om Dej, erbjuder en hand.
Och vill Du, jag ska stanna. Jag är en händig man.

I come home to you, I’m a handy man.
I’m there for you, I come as fast as I possibly can.
I listen to you, hug you, offer a hand.
And if you want, I’ll stay. I’m a handy man.

I like and enjoy the relaxing, mildly up-beat tempo of the song. It’s quite pleasant. :-)
Can’t really comment on the on lyrics. However, the little bit of translation our friend above did, gives me a nice impression of the lyrics. It’s clearly a Gessle lyrics. That fun-happy-disengaged-don’t worry-everything will be alright feeling with a touch of melancholy.
Yeah, it’s Per Gessle, guys. :-)
Take care!

The song gets better and better for every listen, and I have listened about 50 times now.
Eloy said on May 18, 2007 17:06:
personally the song sounds warm, I think. I thought it would be a pop song but it seems to be a ballad. what can I say: the sound looks natural and really good! I like it :-)

It strikes me as a perfect soundtrack to another great Swedish summer :-)

I really like it!! Sounds great.. reminds me a bit of the SOAP sound..
Kamila said on May 18, 2007 18:39:
Ops! I meant a 30-second snippet not a 30-minute one. That would be something, you’re right Gyllene_tjej.
