ABBA TO RELEASE NEW MATERIAL

April 23rd will go down in history as the day the iconic, Swedish disco group ABBA will release The Visitors, a “very special edition” as they call it. (The album will actually be compulsory for all Swedes to buy, to avoid being sent to a fish-gutting camp). The Visitors was initially released in 1981 but this re-release will contain unreleased materials from their huge archive, rare footage and some of their biggest hits such as Head Over Heels, When All Is Said And Done, and One Of Us to name a few, on DVD and CD.

But the highlight for the fans is of course the extra bonus track(!) From A Twinkling Star To A Passing Angel (demos), recorded in 1981 which is the first new song we have heard from them in 18 years.

Now, when we’re all about it, why not put in this unreleased song in the edition as well?

FLASHBACK: BAPTISTE GIABICONI FOR DORIAN

We celebrate supermodel and pop star Baptiste Giabiconi’s first ‘serious’ single One Night In Paradise and upcoming debut album by taking a look at the summer issue, as we had the pleasure of working with him in Paris, where Baptiste showed off his physique and supermodel talents in pop star fashion. If copying is a compliment we should be very proud, as another magazine almost plagiarised(!) the entire job.

The ‘iPhone-killer’ smartphone was presented inside-out to champagne drinking set of especially invited journalists who ‘ooh’-ed and ‘aah’-ed about the minimalist phone’s monochrome Android operating system – tweaked visually by Prada – Prada’s signature Saffiano leather print on the back, and the huge 4.3″ ultra bright screen, among other things. The phone will be in stores end of January, priced around 600 euro.
