Hi Frank!
Q: It's been a while
since you did some own record, how does it feel to release the
new album “Roots” with your brother Simon?
Frank Ådahl:
It's a very good feeling. We haven't been able to work together
for 10 years so it's kind of a new start.
Q. What kind of music
is it on this album?
Frank Ådahl:
You can find some older R&b, soul and disco on this album. We
actually thought of this as a theme album. The theme is our
upbringing within Music as a general with our Christian belief
as an angle. It has really been an interesting period of 2 years…
Q. Do you have any
plans for some concert tours?
Frank Ådahl:
We plan to go out on a tour throughout Sweden beginning in June
and finishing up at the end of August.
Q. What are you doing
beside this project?
Frank Ådahl:
I'm working as a teacher on a songwriter school, Musikmakarna.
I also do a lot of radio commercials. Beside all that I have
my own studio where I work with some dubbing of cartoons for
kids and vocal overdubs for other artists and publishing companies.
Q. If this record sells
well, do you guys gonna do another record?
Frank Ådahl:
I just want to think of every project individually. It's difficult
to say what is going to happen in the future. But I think we
have started something good here. I really hope it will continue
for a while …
Q. Do you have any
favourite rack on the “Roots”?
Frank Ådahl:
Mmm let's see . It's kind of hard to have perspective on a project
so close to it, if You know what I mean. But I would say the
title song, Roots.
Q. Which are your influences
when it came to music?
Frank Ådahl:
That's a hard one! I guess I've been listening to a lot of radio
growing up, especially Radio Luxemburg. I enjoy all kinds of
music, more or less. But if You want me to name names I would
say Stevie Wonder , Aretha Franklin, Al Green and Marwin Gaye.
(Don't get me started …!)
Q. Thanks for the interview
and good luck with the ”Roots”?
Frank Ådahl:
Thank You very much!
