Finnish cover version of “Stockholm i natt”

Here’s an oddity. Finnish artist Jore Marjaranta (best known as a member of Leningrad Cowboys) has recorded a cover version of Peter’s “Stockholm i natt” – in Finnish with the subject city changed to Helsinki.

“Niin Kaunis On Helsinki Nyt” was released as a single on iTunes internationally earlier this year and a longer version appears on the album of the same name released last week. The title translates to “So beautiful is Helsinki now”, courtesy of Google Translate.

Here is the single version of the song.

Release date for ”Räddaren i nöden”

The official site advises that ”Räddaren i nöden” is being released digitally on Friday 1 April 2011. No word on whether it will be released internationally.

The official site has also added a 40 second clip from the song to the music player at the top of the page.

The single cover for ”Räddaren i nöden”

Peter’s new single ”Räddaren i nöden” has a very arty cover (see above).

The song was written by Ludwig Bell, a singer/songwriter also signed to Razzia Records.

Still no word on a release date, formats, etc.
