Album:
Jim Jidhed, singer of the band Alien, will release his 6th solo album on 27th January 2017."Push On Through" is a heavier record than the previous ones. It still has the mark of AOR to it, but also a straight hard rock feeling at times. Producer Daniel Flores, who had a vision for this album, really nails that vision soundwise. At 53, Jim’s voice is stronger than ever as you can hear all his experience, feeling, heart and soul come together in a very powerful way.Jidhed was born 1963 in Gothenburg, Sweden. He began playing and singing around the age of ten and formed his first real band when he was 12-13 years old. At the time he was 16, he started the band Glamour and it was with this band things began to get more serious. In 1982, at the age of 19, Jidhed released his first ever single with Glamour. The label was named Polar and the woman who signed the band was Marie Andersson, daughter of Stickan (Abba) Andersson.In 1986 Jidhed wrote a musical and played it in the spring of ‘87. Around same time, in December ’86, he teamed up with a new Swedish band that took the name Alien. Alien released two singles during ‘87 - "Headstrong" and "I'll Survive" - and by the fall they recorded "Only One Woman" at the Polar studio. Alien recorded their first album early in ’88, at Sound City Studios in Los Angeles, and just a bit later that year they got a huge hit with "Only One Woman" and headlined a big tour during spring and summer. For personal reasons Jim left the band in the fall of 1988.Between 1989 and 2005, the Swedish born singer released five solo albums until he and the original members from Alien teamed up once more, after over twenty years. They released a single, "Ready To Fly", and began playing some selected shows, performing (the songs of) their debut album. They decided to write a new album, and released "Eternity" in 2014.Jim released his fifth solo album in December 2015, titled "Tankar I Vinternatten". It’s kind of a Christmas record, but with Swedish lyrics more into the depth of things surrounding Christmas, and the state of mind of people around that time of year.This year 2016, Johan Nyhlén - a true fan of Jim, Alien and the AOR genre - introduced Jim to producer Daniel Flores. Daniel had wanted to work with Jidhed for a long time, and now the two of them hooked up. "Push On Through" is an album that, from the beginning, was meant to sound different from anything Jim has done in the past. And for sure, Daniel has made that happen. Daniel, who played the drums on the album himself, produced a heavier and tougher sound.Further on the release you'll find Ken Sandin (Alien) playing the bass, guitars were performed by Michael Palace and Philip Lindstrand, and Rolf Pilotti took care of the backing vocals. Jim's son Robin Jidhed was both the engineer and sounding board when Jim recorded his lead vocals.
