Another of the alumni of Swedish Idol, Alice Svensson (better known as Alice), was a participant in the 2008 competition. I happened to watch her in the final rounds last year when I was in Stockholm and was pretty impressed by the big voice coming out of this little girl. Adopted from Vietnam as a baby, Alice grew up in Sweden and was part of several musical projects in her youth before Idol.
Her first single after her Idol success, Lady Luck, was a bit of a motown-ish inspired track that reached #12 on the Swedish charts but for her latest effort she has moved into the dance genre. She has worked with Pitchline (responsible for work on Velvet's latest remix of her song My Destiny) and I Wanna Live is something pretty special. Although the extended version is a bit drawn out, once the verses and chorus starts the song is pretty amazing.
The song is quite reminiscent of My Destiny but Alice's unique sounding voice certainly takes it up a notch (and more). Enjoy a sample of the song from YouTube before you download as well as Alice (borrowing what looks like one of Agnes' dresses) performing at Sommarkrysset with Lady Luck for a taste of her live talent (as well as one of the best intro's ever).
Enjoy!
Alice - I Wanna Live
Hey there, do you have the regular version to upload, the one that is not extended?
