Professional football player turned pop star? Of course he's got to be Swedish. Allow me to introduce Ola Svensson, a 24-year old singer from Lund. Since appearing on Idol (Sweden) in 2005 Ola has gone on to sell over 135,000 records in his homeland and now he's ready for his big UK break as he prepares to release a new single, "All Over The World."
After being eliminated 8th during his season of Idol (Sweden), Ola was signed to a label and released his debut album, Given To Fly, which went all the way to #1 on the Swedish charts. Ola appears to be quite the seasoned young pop star, despite being only 24-years old. In addition to his debut #1 album, Ola's racked up six #1 singles and four Top 5 singles, including his latest release "All Over The World." Starting his own record label in 2010, Oliniho Records, Ola released his third album, the self-titled Ola and took it straight to the top. One critic praised the album for Ola's marketable brand of pop music: "Ten songs and ten potential hit singles, he is indeed an extremely skilled hitmaker." Ola wrote the majority of the album with hitmaker Alexander Kronlund, who's written songs for Britney Spears, Robyn and the Backstreet Boys. Stay tuned for more info on Ola's UK release date for "All Over The World," complete with some fantastic remixes from the Buzz Junkies. In the meantime, check out the club mix HERE and watch the video BELOW. It doesn't hurt that he's also GORGEOUS. I <3 Sweden!
