Updated Mikael revealed in an interview with TDR/MF.net last year that he was planning to release his first album in April, on his birthday, and it looks like his dream is now about to come true. The first single, “When the Lord is about to come,” will be released on April 6. The album will be released mid May, “I’m so happy I managed to finish my album on time!” Mikael tells Mariefredriksson.net.
The song is a duet with Mats Ronander, whom you might know as ex-guitarist of ABBA and support act to Per Gessle’s Mazarin tour 2003 or playing the harmonica on some of Marie Fredriksson’s albums. Mats is a blues guy and the ex-hubby of Sanne Salomonsen.
More information about the album will come soon.

Swedish artist Pugh Rogefeldt gave a concert in Tantogården in Stockholm yesterday night and counted with a special guest: Marie Fredriksson, who joined him on stage to sing “Här kommer natten” and “Guldgruva” during the encore. Marie was announced as Sweden’s own Aretha Franklin and the audience welcomed her with standing ovations.
Pugh is one of Marie’s favourite artists and she covered three of his songs in her latest album “Min bäste vän,” including the two she performed with him yesterday.
