Peter’s official site has revealed that Peter’s new album will be called “Livet, Kärleken och Döden – La Vie, L’Amour, La Mort…” which is the Swedish and French for “Life, Love and Death”.

The album will be released on 19 October 2011.

The front page of the Swedish version of Peter’s official site has a video of one of the songs from the album. The song is called “Jackie” and is a new version of “La Chanson de Jacky” written by Jacques Brel and made famous by Scott Walker in 1967. Marc Almond also had a hit with it in 1991.

The Swedish lyrics were written by Andreas Mattsson and the song was arranged by Hans Ek.
