Army of lovers-Best Of Collection 2014
The
original – and the best – line up of Swedish pop group legends "Army of
Lovers”, reformed for Melodifestivalen this year and brought us the
highly underrated "Rockin the Ride”. It was a teenage dream come true to
see Alexander Bard, La Camilla and Jean-Pierre Barda back together on
stage – where they belong.
However following their swift exit from Melodifestivalen, a large and
very public argument broke out where La Camilla was ejected from the
group AGAIN. The kick-out was followed by a bitter fight between
Alexander Bard and Dominika Peczynski against La Camilla. Allegedly the
argument was as a result of the out of time lip syncing on Camilla’s
part at Melodifestivalen – but it does look like they all were doing
it!
So the band have reformed again with Bard, Peczynski and Barba and
they have gone and remixed their classic song "Crucified” and the iconic
video – which is sacrilegious in our books.! Peczynski lacks the voice,
style and seductiveness of La Camilla, and the remix of the song is now
just a hollow shell of its former glory.
Get La Camilla and the original version of "Crucified” BACK NOW.
How could they do it again?

Army of Lovers continue their comeback with a new recording and a new
video for their most well known and loved hit from the 90s –
‘Crucified’.
Enlisting the production skills of Niklas Bergwall (the guy behind
September and Darin’s Så Mycket Bättre cover versions), ‘Crucified’ 2013
is predictably but pleasingly Clubbified 2013. And the party’s been
taken up quite literally by Copenhagen Pride – who have chosen the new
version as the official theme song for their 2013 festival.
The video features the trio prancing about in front of footage of the
iconic original video. Simultaneously paying their respects and taking
the piss. We love that they haven’t changed their behaviour in the
slightest in the twenty years since the original.
It’s hard to imagine Army of Lovers gaining a whole new Army of Fans
with this in 2013. But it is nice to know that a whole new generation of
gay revelers may be introduced to the song – the genuine classic that
it is.
Army Of Lovers will release a new compilation CD on March 27th, entitled Big Battle Of Egos. Here is the tracklist:
