Written by tevensso on October 23, 2008 to Exclusive, Per Gessle and Releases.
(Updated) - Please enjoy the snippets of "Silly Really" and "I Didn't Mean to Turn You On" at www.gessle.com!
We've just received notice that the album release has been pushed forward to November 26. Per has also remodeled his YouTube page. Worth a look perhaps. More things to show up there soon.

The single kicks ass in my opinion, very radio-friendly, up-to-date and it might hit big everywhere.
Can’t wait to wake up on Dec. 3 :-)

Ok, I surrender. “I Didn’t Mean to Turn You On” is sweet with a charming Gessle voice. This is very Roxettish, I have the same positive feelings as when I’m listening to “Milk and Toast and Honey” but this is much sweeter, with some kind of reggae sounds in the chorus. And “Silly Really”.... is typical dancing song, but after 20 times of listening and after 2 glasses of wine you start to dance and love it. ;) Yes is for sure a party album. Very warm. Well it seems I will drink more often a mulled wine this winter. :)

Maybe i’m the only one that i like ’i didn’t mean to turn you on’ more than ’Silly really”. :-)

Heyoka, I agree with you!
I like “Silly really”!!! And the other song, too. But I think, SR is better. A little bit unusual, strange, but GREAT!!!!

I prefer the haunting “I Didn’t Mean to Turn You On”. The “Silly Really” arrangement is a little annoying, imo. I can’t imagine myself playing it much often.

WOW!!!!
Silly Really rules!!
You know you’ve been through this before. She’s not on your door. Can you think about it!!!
Do what you want, but harm no one!!!!

Silly Really sounds really good, it’s danceable synth pop but it doesn’t sound modern, but very very 70’s/80’s. I like this Per’s fast singing part and also middle8 (if it is) is great. Very radio friendly song and nice surprise for listeners. “Is this really this guy from Roxette?”
I Didn’t Mean To Turn You On has very nice melody but it’s too flat for me, sounds like a demo. And I also don’t like this ’ reagge’ feeling. This could be very good ’great ballad’ , but this version doesn’t work to me.
My opinion.

Hmm Silly Really sounds very familiar to some other song, but don´t know what song. Especially the refrain. It´s sounds really fresh, but im not sure if it will top the charts internationally, even will enter european charts. You know, it´s all about EMI. There are a few songs out there, that sounds almost the same. But it sounds good.
I Didn’t Mean To Turn You On should be recorded in a soap-style. Don´t like it with that beat and reggae.
But i like the new fresh sound from Gessle. He suprises us with almost every album. This could be a nice one too.
Roxvet said on October 23, 2008 13:38:
Silly Really sounds something between “STAYIN’ ALIVE” from Bee Gees and “SPEGELBOLL” from Mazarin album. (IMO)
But it’s great!!! It’s in my cellphone since a couple of minutes.
Do what you want, but harm no one!!!!

Both snippets sound very nice. Mmm, I want to hear the whole songs... several times:))

DAMN !!! Gessle my man - This is catchy - Congrats. I bet this is a hit... For me anyway :-D
PiR_GeSSLe said on October 23, 2008 14:41:
WOW! “Silly Really” is already a hit... Oops, Gessle did it again! ;)

I think this is not illegal (if it is, please, delete this comment or say to me to edit my comment)

It reminds me of Lay all your love on me (the fade out before the chorus)
Sounds very nice

SILLY ROCKS!!!!!!!!
It reminds me a little of Jamelia’s Superstar - but Jeez - this is the best song Per has written in ages methings, modern and fresh...it suits his voice well... I can see me dancing to this after a few sneaky vodka and cokes, follwed by a few flaming Sambucas...just a normal Satruday night!
IDMTTYO is fine - a bit like I Want You To Know on TWATG...but not as good as Silly in my world...
Cheers Per! I can’t wait for a nice winter’s day for me to drop the hood on my convertible and blas this out to the world. lol
Roxlander said on October 23, 2008 17:11:
I like them both, but I liked Silly a little more. I think it could be an internatiional hit, hope so! Can’t wait to hear the rest of the album.
CRIZ said on October 23, 2008 17:33:
Wow!
Okay Per...now we really want to see you dance!!
Silly really is definately cool I would say.
abysmo said on October 23, 2008 19:11:
There will be ’only’ 12 songs on the album and b-side I Didn’t Mean To Turn You On is included as a track no. 11. See Discography on Gessle.com.
Hope that album will be longer than Room Service. :-(
