I’m currently working on a slow release of singer Maria McAteer through singles on CD Baby. What I mean by slow release is that we will release the album one song at a time instead of putting it all out in one go. It all ties together with videos on YouTube as well. So far two songs have been released for purchase and three videos are up on YouTube.

and

Colourless Rainbow

Or rather, Brighton mimes to Maria McAteer’s voice and my piano playing. We felt it was time to do a cover and played around a bit with Justin Bieber’s song “Baby”. What we came up with is quite different from the original. So, what to do for a video. Well, we wet down to the Meeting Place and asked people passing by if they’d like to mime a phrase from the song. They were wonderful. All different sorts agreed to do it. 3 hours later we had the fifty lines and just needed to add them together and sync them to the track. A few more hours (the rest of the night actually) was spent pasting in and time stretching clips and we had something. It’s up on YouTube, have a look and a listen!

I’ve been waiting over a year but finally it’s there. There were some technical issues behind the delay but now you can enjoy the debut album of Lele Lele in it’s full glory if you have Spotify. If you don’t you just have to get it from CD Baby or iTunes. The band is touring Finland and Sweden this summer but since I’m not in the country I won’t be joining. I wish them the best of luck and please try to see them if you’re anywhere near. It’s a unique experience! Check tour dates and info at lele-lele.se

A new song written by Björn Dahlberg and Maria McAteer for the project “Her Father’s Daughter”.

The tour of Brazil is over and it was amazing. Thank you so much to everyone for all of their hard work and to all the fans who came and saw us. When we played at Virada Cultural in São Paulo they say 75 000 people listened! That’s so far the biggest gig of my life. Now it’s back to a smaller scale but with music that lies very near to my heart, namely “Her Father’s Daughter”. I hope to see you at Bradshaw’s basement in Brighton 11 June.

Another great review of Nybakat!s album Happy Land, this time in the Swedish paper DalaDemokraten. It’s in Swedish of course, but trust me, he says nice things….

We got this mail:

To Nybakat:

We added one of your tracks to JAZZRADIO.com. “Flamencophone” is playing on our Straight-Ahead channel. Check it out at www.jazzradio.com.

So now I’ll have to listen to this station for hours just to hear my own song being played. Actually, I’m really pleased about this. This tune is dedicated to my flamenco dancing grandmother Barbro and even though I know she would say that it’s not really flamenco I’m sure she’d be really happy too.

If you havent heard Maria McAteer’s band “Her Father’s Daughter” yet you’re in for a treat. It’s a tribute to her father, Trinidadian saxophonist/composer Al Timothy, mostly famous for writing Shirley Basseys mega hit “Kiss Me Honey Honey Kiss Me”. Maria discovered that she actually had some music manuscripts that he never published. We recorded them and we’ve also done gigs in Brighton with the band. The response has been amazing with the audience chanting along with his raunchy lyrics of “Don’t Touch Me Nylons!”.
