Peter Jöback – An Unofficial Home Page

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.

Apart from “Jackie” and “Precis som vanligt”, the album will include three original songs written in a French style.

Here is a clip of Scott Walker performing “Jackie” on a TV show.

And this is the promo video for Marc Almond’s version.

“Rocket To The Moon” is a song that was written by Peter Jöback and Ty Lacey. It was only available for one week back in November 2000 as a “bonus track” with Peter’s “Tonight” single. Essentially, you put the disc into your computer and you could listen to the song via the internet. After seven days, the chance to listen to the song expired. There was no chance to download it.

It did find its way as a b-side to Peter’s “Higher” single but this was only in Poland.

You can now hear the song again via a fan video on Daily Motion. It’s a good song and deserves a wider audience.
