This is the tracklist of the digital album:

1. Så härligt är jorden
2. Varje dag
3. Skuggorna faller över mig
4. När jag såg dig *
5. Syre och eld *
6. Petroleum och tång *
7. Det som var viktigt då *
8. Det allra största ljuset *
9. Vi säger ingenting *
10. Det som bär mig nu

The songs marked with a * can only be heard if you have a Spotify Premium account. Spotify usually offers a 30-day free trial, so it might be time to try it out.

There is also a video of “Skuggorna faller över mig” on YouTube.

And a short video promoting the album

Tomas Ledin will give a one hour concert in Skansen, Stockholm, next Juny 24th.

This concert will take place right after “Allsång på Skansen” show. Usually all the artists who participate in the “Allsång” show go on with the show for an hour. This time it will be only one artist who will entertain the audience. Tomas Ledin, who celebrates his 40 years as an artist, has participated in many Allsång in the past, this time the stage is his for one full hour.

But he won’t be alone. Tomas has invited a couple of Swedish artists to join him on stage on this special evening. And yes, Eva Dahlgren will be one of them. Eva and Tomas toured together back in 1992 with Rocktåget and they also participated in “Så mycket bättre” last year. Other artists to join Tomas on stage are E-Type and Timbuktu (who participated in the same Så mycket bättre as Eva and Tomas), Måns Zelmerlöw and Niklas Strömstedt.

Tomas’ show will be broadcast on SVT and starts at 21:00.

More information can be found on Tomas’ website.

Eva Dahlgren got the Evert Taube Prize yesterday in Orust, Sweden, from the Municipal Council Hans Pernevik and Orust Savings Bank director Birgitta Pettersson.

As a prize Eva got money, which she is going to use to buy a video camera which will be intensively used during her tour in autumn, and an art piece of glas in for of a speech bubble done by Helen Gibson.

Eva explained how Evert Taube’s music and text always were with her and that she is very proud and touched to have received the prize. She also explained that she had been in Orust before when she played at Ellös Folkets park.

You can find pictures of the event here.

Dates for Sweden will be announced soon too.

Eva Dahlgren was in the TV4 program “Samtidsterapi med Strömstedt & Berg” – which is actually a radio podcast and at the same time a TV programe on TV4 play, where Jenny Strömstedt and Carina Berg go through the latest news with a personal touch. It’s a 50 minute talk with Eva. Funny, interesting, must watch!

Eva Dahlgren visited Nyhetsmorgon (TV4) this Sunday morning. In the interview she talked about her monologue, since she starts a third mini-tour with it on Friday 23rd.
She also explained that she was in China last week with her wife and that she did some filming and revealed that she will go on tour in Autumn “and do some music again” and that she maybe tries to do something with her videos during the tour.

Stay tuned for updates on this!

You can see the whole interview here:

The songs which Eva performed during the second season of “Så mycket bättre” are now available on Spotify for all the countries. Here are the links. Enjoy!

Strö lite socker på mig
Mitt hjärtats fågel
This Is The Way
Standing In My Rain
Call On Me
Never Again

Efva Attling was interviewed at Nyhetsmorgon, TV4, last month. Here is the interview!

Eva Dahlgren is one of the 7 artists who participates in the 2nd season of Swedish TV4 Så mycket bättre. You can watch the videos of the weekly program on TV4′s website (you might need Premium access to see some of them).
In addition, the songs are also available on Spotify (Sweden only).
And last but not least, the tracks can also be purchased on iTunes. Again, Sweden only, unfortunately.
According to CDON, a CD will be released on December 12, 2011 with some of the tracks performed by the artists. So far no tracklist is available, but as far as I could see last year’s CD didn’t contain all songs but only 2-3 per artist.

Update December 11: Eva has performed these songs. The last chapter of the season will be next Saturday, where the artists will perform various duets together.

Tomas Ledin’s day: Never Again
Timbuktu’s day: Socker (Strö lite söcker på mig) – she even recorded a video for this one

Lena Philipsson’s day: Standing In My Rain
E-Type’s day: This Is The Way
Laleh’s day: Call On Me
Mikael Wiehe’s day: Mitt hjärtas fågel
