Those of you who could be bothered to pay attention to Salvemos Eurovision, Spain's giant Eurovision selection process this year, may remember Anael and her song "Piénsame" or "Thinking" or "Piénsame (Thinking Thinking)" or whatever title you want to go with. "Thinking," despite not making it to the final, was a good solid "Bleeding Love" type song written by Thomas G:son, Tony Sánchez-Ohlsson, and Andreas Rickstrand.Anael recently released the news that her debut solo album will come out in 2009 as well as most of the tracklisting and songwriter information for the album. See the whole thing here, but the gist of it is this:
- Nine tracks by G:son and Sánchez-Ohlsson, and eight of those with Rickstrand. Those three make up the team behind "Thinking" (which is one of those nine tracks) as well as the team behind Baltanás's "Te prefiero" and Coral's "Todo está en tu mente," also from Spain's preselection. With Rebeca, they also co-wrote Rebeca/D'Nash's "I Love You Mi Vida." G:son and Rickstrand have collaborated on songs like Jannicke Abrahamsen's "Rocket Ride," Sandra Oxenryd's "Superhero," and Man Meadow's "Viva La Musica." I am not expecting an all-out dance-fest, though, considering 1.) the style of "Thinking" and 2.) the album's description as commercial and contemporary pop-R&B ballads, mid-tempos, and uptempos.
- One track composed by Andermay
- One track by Fede Monreal (a former Operación triunfo contestant who did D'Nash's "Lo haré por ti")
- One track by people I should probably know for other things but one of whom--Mar de Pablos--produced D'Nash's debut album and the other of whom--Alejandro Parreño--was on OT as well
- A remix of "Thinking" (presumably the one by one-half of Andermay, a clip of which is on Anael's MySpace)
