Scandopop questions

1. Cover connections: what is the sleeve of the new Margaret Berger alBUM reminding me of? The typeface used for the artist/title is really familiar. Something French perhaps? Or possibly it's a movie poster homage.

2. Spur of the moment purchases: I just ordered said Berger LP from cdon. To make the purchase feel more cost-effective I also bought the Marie Serneholt alBUM, as cdon are virtually giving it away. I have no idea who Serneholt is or what her music sounds like. Did I do good?

(This post calls for my first ever LJ 'mood', I think, although I was hoping for a "carefree" option.)

The Marie's pretty good, yeah. "That's The Way My Heart Goes" is a lovely Swedish sugary confection with a tiny bit of R&B in it, but it works. "I Need A House" sounds like DEBBIE FUCKING GIBSON ca "Electric Youth", so that's great too. "I Love Making Love In The Morning" is totally Gina G. "Oxygen" is a good ballad at the end. "Can't Be Loved" is good. It's a tiny bit iffy in places but always pretty listenable.
