I posted about Elin Lanto's new single, Love Made Me Stupid earlier in the month as it had its release in Sweden. At this point, however, there is still nothing to report in terms of its performance in the charts although this really is only just a matter of time. To Elin's discredit on this chart (I'm sure she is very upset) since the song came out late in the year it's hard to compare Love Made Me Stupid with other songs that have been around for 12 months - but from the first listens this song has managed to make an impression and easily deserves to be among 2009's best.
Along with a great video, Elin's past pop masterpieces (especially Discotheque from 2008) and finally with her announcement that she'll be competing in Melodifestivalen 2010 to represent Sweden at Eurovision, there are plenty of reasons why 2009's list couldn't come and go without Elin.
Love Made Me Stupid starts off after the first few listens as 'ok' but as you listen more you realize how much you love it and how brilliant the writers of the song are. It's got that rock edge to it but is still pop through and through. I can't wait for Elin's new album in 2010 and to see what Doctor Doctor looks and sounds like on the Melodifestivalen stage!
