Eric Saade - Sleepless

Maybe the best way to describe Eric Saade is Darin meets Zac Efron. He's been involved in Disney-type stuff in Sweden for a few years including their version of Camp Rock. He has gone and released his first solo single, Sleepless, just in advance of his participation in Melodifestivalen 2010 which will decide Sweden's representative at Eurovision this year in Oslo.

Eric's entry to Melodifestivalen is called Manboy (should be interesting) and has been written by Frederic Kempe who has been responsible for many Melodifestivalen hits, including both of Mans Zelermlow's entries. And with Sleepless adding some idea of what Eric might be presenting, it appears that it should be pretty good!

Sleepless really is a bit of a Darin meets Disney. Probably more comparable to some of Darin's earlier tracks with a bit more of a pop edge, I am figuring this one has all the teeny-boppers in Sweden excited and I can't lie - it's pretty addictive. The video is simple enough but certainly is trying to cast Eric in the Twilight-vibe. Definitely worth a view!

enjoy!
