The interview with Martin in QX translated

BWO compete for the 4th time in Melodifestivalen with the ballad "You're not Alone".

They compete in Leksand and after have come 2nd and 3rd in the Globen finals 2006 and 2008 Alexander, Marina and Martin now go for a win in 2009.

It has been sayings about a new sound for BWO....

-Yes, there is a significant difference compared to before. This is a bit to The Killers-way and some traces of Kraftwerk. But the production sounds still BWO.

What can you tell about the song ?

- It is starting very small and ends as big as possible with big choirs. It's a magnifique ballad that gives me goosebumps. It wasn't a ballad from the beginning, more of an uptempo.

But we were all united about that if we should come back, the song should be different then the earlier ones.

Is this the last time you are in ?

-It should feel stupid to answer in that way, cause the last times we have been there I have said so. It is not so remarkable , we are in cause we are artists and we want people to listen to our music.

What is your relationship to Leksand ?

-Not more then I think the hockey team should go back to the elite series.

How big are you in Russia ?

-We have several times been first on toplists there and that is the country where we first broke through. Also is Alexander monumentally big there, Army of Lovers was one of the absolutely biggest bands there in the 90ies and have had enormous importance for the gay-movement in Russia.

Also was he and Marina in Vacuum, that also where big in Russia.

Why will you win in Moscow ?

-By different reasons. We are making music that goes home in Europe, BWO has a history in many of the countries and we have a damn good song. When we started talking about this we look at last years winner Dima Bilan and said that we could do this so much better. And that is what we do now.
