"Han Jobbar i Affär" with Lena Philipsson

Well, yesterday I gave you and old pre-NYC Flip/Flop, but today (‘cause it’s Thursday = Flip/Flop-day) I serve you a completely fresh one!
The new single from Sweden’s schlager-queen number one:

Carola WHO???
Lena Philipsson of course!!

Here new single is written by Orup (as all songs on her new terrific album) and is called "Han Jobbar i Affär" (He Works in a Store). Lets hand it over to the jury!

D-man: Flip
One question though, why couldn't she be a bit more specific? Just a tad. She sings about a store (what store?), his hair (what does it look like?) and a bunch of different more or less diffuse things that are to her likings. She has bought almost everything that she can from this presumed store, but it leaves a lot of questions. She has not bought everything apparently, but why not? Was it a men's store? I still like it though, despite its cornyness. Or perhaps everything that is played about 400 times in two days gets to you? :)

E-man: Flop
Flop. Sorry babe, but the sound is getting tired. This was fresh with "Det gör ont" and right after that, but this endless rehearsal of how Orup would sound if he had a career at the moment doesn't hold my interest any longer. Can't even be bothered with listening a second time before passing judgement and getting back to work.
Whippety-booo!

K-man: Flip
Even if this isn’t the best song from her new album, it might be the best Lena&Orup schlager since "Det Gör Ont" and with that statement I guess you already know where this is going... It's a clearly a Flip for me. It's also a much better song (although it has flaws of course; the lyrics partly stinks and the production is a bit too much of "bonn-disco" in the verses) than her previous single and I adore the chorus. And I adore Lena. Maybe not a hit on Tracks - but Svensktoppen is next! And don’t forget listen to the album!

The Flip/Flop was fresh…but the result was as old as Alice Timander.
Flip from Mr D & Mr K and a Flop from Mr E.
It’s a 2/3 Flip again!!
What’s new?
Lena’s album, maybe…

Keep readin’
Tomorrow’s a new day and a new song.
