The Idol phenomenon continues with Darin who was the runner up to Sweden Idol in 2004. He has released 3 albums in total: The Anthem (released 16 February 2005), Darin (released 28 September 2005) and latest album Break The News (released 22 November 2006). The Anthem and Break The News contain 1 song each co-written by Max Martin!
21 November 2006. Niklas from Gotheburg in Sweden emailed and told me that Darin has worked with Max Martin, Robyn and Jörgen Elofsson. Album out 22 November. (Thanks Niklas!)
Andrea from Italy and Niklas also advised the song: Extra Ordinary Love. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________
11 December 2006: Just checking out wikipedia, I notice Darin sang NSync's It's Gonna Be Me on 24 Sept 2004 and 26 Oct 2004 he sang Britney's (you drive me) Crazy, the Winner's single was Coming True written by Jorgen Elofsson. Link: http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idol_2004. Good choices! Also note that on October 22 they had a Max Martin themed week!
Niklas from Gotheburg, Sweden thinks that Extra Ordinary Love song was for Britney's In The Zone album, just with some diffrent lyrics, because Darin is a boy, which may have been fixed by Robyn and Patrik Berger. Niklas also thinks that Max and Rami and Robyn wrote some other songs that didn't make it to In The Zone and another could be Celine Dion's Love Is All We Need. Very interesting!!!! Thanks Niklas!

This album is fantastic! This is the best Idol album I've heard. To me this album is very Justin Timberlake in Sexyback mode but way better!
Of course I love Extra Ordinary Love and I think it would have fit in perfectly with Britney's In The Zone, but Darin sings it so great so I'm not complaining. I love also love Saturday Night - very upbeat and funky. Homeless is a sad ballad and very dramatic which is classic Jorgen Elofsson. Everything But The Girl is also fantastic. Well, I just love this album.
I'm guessing for the song Saturday Night that P. Alderheim is Per Aldeheim and that the r is a typo. It is produced at Maratone, so it's gotta be?
Anders Wikström & Fredrik Thomander have worked with written for A*Teens and more.
Patrik Berger has worked with Robyn. Also written for Hilary Duff - song The Little Voice. He has also worked with Swedish singer Sahlene. Link: www.myspace.com/sahlene. I don't know much about him.
