Product Code Database
Het vind ( Hot Wind) is the debut studio album by Swedish singer-songwriter Marie Fredriksson, originally released on LP and Cassette tape formats on 20 September 1984 by EMI Sweden. The album was preceded by its lead single, "Ännu doftar kärlek" ("Still the Scent of Love"), and both that single and the album became top twenty hits in her native country.
The title track was released as the second and final single, although it failed to chart. This single was b-side by a Swedish cover version of Cyndi Lauper's "All Through the Night", which was translated by producer Lars-Göran "Lasse" Lindbom, and re-titled "Natt efter natt" ("Night After Night"). This song was included as a bonus track when the album was released on Compact disc for the first time on 2 June 1987.
Unlike the power pop of Fredriksson's previous band MaMas Barn (MaMas Children) – which she formed in the late 70's with her then-boyfriend Martin Sternhufvud, who also wrote one song for the album: "Jag ska ge allt" ("I'll Give Everything"), Het vind is a relatively contemporary record. The material differs from her previous band in that it has a more soft rock lean, and several songs feature indicative of Roxette's later hit , such as "Listen to Your Heart" and "Fading Like a Flower (Every Time You Leave)". A number of other songs contain elements of disco and 80s synth-pop.
