It's been a long time waiting for the new single from Elin Lanto. Her previous release from 2008 was the spectacular Discotheque which had moderate success in Sweden reaching #16 last year and was also released this year in the US through iTunes and was feature in the soundtrack for The L Word. Along with a great video it made for a complete package and one of my favourite tracks from last year.
Elin rose to fame in Sweden with her pop-rock track I Won't Cry which reached #1. She took part in Melodifestivalen in 2007 with Money but neither are big favourites of mine. Things got interesting with Speak N Spell and My Favorite Pair of Jeans in 2008 and of course with Discotheque towards the end of the year.
With much anticipation, Love Made Me Stupid was released this week in Sweden with the video being available as of November. The video is certainly interesting in concept and the track itself doesn't start as a favourite but it quickly gets stuck in your head until you can't seem to sing anything but the chorus. It's got more of a pop-rock influence than Discotheque to it and we'll see how the Swedish public responds.
With the final Melodifestivalen 2010 participants to be announced next week there is speculation that Elin might show up on the list. There would be no better way to promote an upcoming album in Sweden that to take part in the contest so we can keep our fingers crossed and hope for something great!

enjoy!
