Loreen drops two new singles ahead of ‘Heal’ album release

After her global hit “Euphoria” became the most successful Eurovision single in 20 years, Swedish diva Loreen is set to release her long-awaited debut album Heal on October 24th.

Ahead of the album’s release, Loreen’s dropped two new singles: a remixed version of her 2011 hit “My Heart Is Refusing Me” for international audiences, and new track called “Crying Out Your Name” for Sweden.

Both tunes are typical Loreen, all euro-angst and drama with bellowing vocals that few female artists could ever match. “Crying Out Your Name” is the more interesting of the two, avoiding a cliched eurodance sound with some big fat drum lines on the hook.

When it comes to Loreen, I’m more of a fan of her epic vocal skills and live performances than I am of her actual music, so I doubt that I’ll give Heal a listen when it drops, but I’m sure Scandipop fans are gonna utterly piss their panties over the disc.

Let me know what you think of Loreen’s latest.

    She looks goooood. I’ll check out her album but I don’t believe she has that Eurovision hit maker that produced Euphoria on the rest of the songs.

    “Most successful Eurovision single in 20 years”… what, since the global smash that was Linda Martin and “Why Me”? Surely this is wildly incorrect. Gina G for one instance alone, was UK #1 and US Top 40. Fairytale? Wild Dances?

    I hope In My Head is released as a single too sometime because I luv that song! Sober is awesome too but I would have prefered to have the original version on the album…but to me, this album together with Brandy’s will certainly be the best ones released this year!!

    Idk why but i like this girl songs, but not her.
    Her vocals are good but thats about it. I cant get with her as an artist just her music.

    Fucking amazing, Dunno why but I’m back into her the past 2 days and her album sounds fantastic. I need to buy it soon!
    I think she should be way bigger but in the UK at least she has the Eurovision stigma :P
