Growing up in the small town of Vanersborg, Sweden, music was always an integral part of Agnes Carlsson’s life. Her career took off at the tender age of 17 as the youngest-ever Pop
Idol winner (Sweden’s “American Idol” counterpart), triggering a string of chart successes in Sweden. As she grew up, her style evolved. She was introduced to songwriter and producer Anders Hansson in 2009 and the creative sparks began to fly as Hansson’s dance-flavored production allowed Agnes to express her drive, energy and attitude…and of course, let loose with her incredible vocals. “Release Me” is the result of this studio alchemy and announces the arrival of a major new talent.
“Release Me” was released earlier this summer internationally and became a pan-European smash before spreading to airwaves around the world, from South Africa to Israel to Australia. Agnes recently debuted the new video for the track which was directed by Thomas Kloss (Pussycat Dolls, Fergie).
With her infectious enthusiasm, sparkling energy and stunning vocal ability, Agnes is on the way to becoming one of music’s biggest new names. For more information visit AgnesMusic.com and stay tuned for her forthcoming major label debut in the US.
