31 December 2006

The official site has updated the track list for the "Cabaret" cast recording and there are now 12 tracks listed.

23 December 2006

The official site has revealed the track list for the "Cabaret" cast recording. There are only 10 songs listed which may be a mistake since the original news item mentions 12 songs.

You can view a Flash trailer of "Cabaret" by clicking here or on the image above. It features video footage of Peter performing in "Cabaret".

Above is the cover for the "Jag står för allt jag gjort" single which to the best of my knowledge has never been released generally. It appears to be a promo release only and has just the one track.

A number of performances from the 1994 TV special "Musical Express" have surfaced on You Tube. Click here to see a list.

Finally, a Christmas treat from You Tube, Peter performing "Decembernatt (Halleluja)" on a Swedish TV show.

The Links page has been updated.

21 December 2006

A cast recording of the Swedish production will be released in Sweden on 24 January 2007. The CD features 12 of the best songs recorded by Peter and the rest of the cast in the studio. The album will be available by digital download two days earlier on 22 January.

Signed copies can be pre-ordered from Bengans by clicking here.

Peter will be appearing in a Christmas concert being broadcast on SVT1 on Christmas Eve. The program is called "Nordisk Julkonsert" and Peter will sing two songs - "Decembernatt (Halleluja)" and "Silent Night". The concert will also feature Kim Wilde among others. The program will be repeated on SVT2 on 26 December.

Sissel Kyrkjebø has released a double CD compilation called "De Beste" covering her career from 1986 to 2006. Included is her 2003 duet with Peter, "Gå inte förbi" (also included on Peter's "Flera sidor..." album).

You Tube has Peter's performance of "Jag står för allt jag gjort" on the TV show Bingolotto.

The "Flera sidor av samma man" album is currently sitting at number 14 on the Swedish album charts and is still selling well. Peter's Christmas album is number 2 on the mid-price album chart.

Have a great Christmas and New Year.

Peter's album will also be released in Finland, a week later than Sweden, on 19 July 2006.

8 June 2006

Peter's official site contains the following information about his new single and album.

The album is a collection spanning Peter's recording career from 1990 up until the current day. It will contain 34 songs which reflect Peter as the multi-faceted artist he is. There will be two brand new songs and presumably songs on CD for the first time and songs that have been unavailable for many years.

The album will be called "Flera sidor av samma man" (Many sides of the same man) and will be a double album. The two new songs are "Jag blundar i solens sken" (the new single, with music by Orup and Marcus Dernulf and lyrics by Peter LeMarc) and "Jag står för allt jag gjort" ("I stand for everything I've done" written by Niclas Frisk and Andreas Mattsson).

The album will be released on 12 July 2006. As previously reported, the single will be out on 21 June 2006.

3 June 2006

There have not been any updates for a while due to a computer crash but the site is back with some exciting news.

Peter is about to release a new single. The song is called "Jag blundar i solens sken" which translates to "I close my eyes in the glare of the sun". The single is a two track single and is due to be released in Sweden on 21 June 2006. It can be pre-booked from a number of online stores including Megastore. There is no other information at this stage.

There have been rumours of a greatest hits package and the new single may somehow be tied into this release. It is common these days for greatest hits CDs to contain one or two new songs.

Peter has been on a break following a highly successful season of "Cabaret" where Peter starred as the Emcee. He received rave reviews for his performance and won the prestigious Gold Mask award for best male lead in a musical.
