  • A decade after winning Eurovision 2012 with "Euphoria", Swedish singer Loreen continues to reinvent herself. "Neon Lights" - her new single - marks an evolution in her soundscape. The bombastic electropop track features swirling synths, which have become a trademark of her live shows. "I'm extremely nerdy when it comes to synths, especially analogue synths," she says. "So much so that these days build my entire live shows around them."
    She spoke with us at her hotel in Turin a few days before the grand final of Eurovision 2022. She discusses the alpha women in her family, including her mother left Morocco to give her six kids a better life. We discuss spirituality, the war in Ukraine, the enduring success of "Euphoria" and much more.

    2:26 did she say there will be more?????? PLEASE let there be a full album of this sound!! It's so epic. I love the blend of electronic beats and synthesizers with her powerful raw vocals. She seems to have found a way to merge the best parts of all sound experiments she did so far, so i would LOVE to hear a full lenght album exploring this. Neon Lights is easily one of her best songs, up there with Statements, My Heart Is Refusing Me and Euphoria.
    Thank you for this interview!

    "I just love the fact that you see that. Not so many see that" - Loreen to William. This is just SUCH a spot on observation about William in general. I imagine everyone who has done an interview with him, his would be their favorite. He doesn't just ask the most thoughtful, meaningful questions....he also reads his subjects personalities and sets a tone that fits them perfectly. Listening to creative people talk about their process is so fun. And of course Loreen is such a unique, sensitive person with such talent. Hearing people questioned if her dancer should be a black man was really sad...but of course The Queen would want diversity. 💕This beautiful conversation made me so happy, thank you!

    You guys always do the best interviews with Loreen. I feel like a lot of other interviewers treat her as a source of fascination but they fail to actually engage with her. With you guys, you celebrate who she is as a person and the resulting conversations always bring out the beauty and humanity in her artistry. Thank you for yet another substantive conversation with her. What a treasure.

    I keep banging on about it, but what she is saying is so true. There are far too many people that aren't in touch with their inner state. They are afraid or uncomfortable with allowing their creativity show. Many people in the western modern world aren't even able to let themselves flow. For whatever reason, I like Loreen and I love her message even more. It is inspiring to me as a creative person because it can be very hard at times to have the confidence to follow your intuition. The external world and other peoples opinions hold us back. I rarely sense this love from artists because I think they are all trying to hard to conform. Loreen is not like that, and it doesn't help that Ihave a massive crush on her hahah

    Unlike Beyonce she lacks the vocal range but makes up for it with her dynamic stage presence. She also lacks femininity and dont embrace herself in her performances, which sets her apart from other female pop stars. Despite her lack of femininity, her unique and bold approach to music has garnered a strong following among fans who appreciate her unapologetic style and political activism.
