Linda Sundblad is a Swedish artist who started her music career at the ripe age of 15 fronting the pop-rock music group Lambretta with whom she released three albums and had two top 10 hits in Sweden as well as success in some neighbouring countries. In 2005 she left the group and went solo. This proved a great move and she pulled out a #1 and #2 single in Sweden from her 2006 release Oh my God!.
Throw in some modelling and acting and hosting a radio show, and fast forward to 2009 when Linda released her most recent solo single, 2 All My Girls, an electro-pop leaning on the side of electro and sounding very Robyn-esque which only managed to reach #50 on the Swedish singles charts.
Skip to single #2 from the "comeback" and things look to be working out much better. Linda has released Let's Dance in 2010 which is also the theme song for the Swedish version of Dancing With the Stars (won by Mans Zelmerlow in 2006). It entered the Swedish charts this week at #16 and as the show continues to draw in viewers looks primed to make the top 10.
Still sounding a bit like Robyn but a lot more pop with a hint of Gaga, Let's Dance has a great chorus that is Swedish pop at its very best and although the verses are a bit lacking something, the wait for the chorus is all worth it. I can totally see it working as the theme for the show and any one of the many dance-related reality shows making it around the world.
Welcome back Linda and kudos on this one!
