Marie Eleonor
Serneholt (born July 11, 1983) was a member of the
Swedish pop band A*Teens. Marie was born in Stockholm,
Sweden, and was raised in an upper middle-class family.
A*Teens: In 1998, Serneholt signed a record deal
with Stockholm Records (part of Universal Music) along
with her then bandmates Sara, Dhani and Amit. Together
they performed as the A*Teens. In 1999, they released
their first single, a cover of ABBA's "Mamma
Mia". The single topped the charts in Sweden for 8
consecutive weeks, and the success was similar around
the world.
By 2000, the A*Teens' first album, "The ABBA
Generation" had sold 4 million copies, and they
became one of the most internationally successful
Swedish pop bands.
After 6 years together and more than 5 million albums
sold, the A*Teens disbanded after a "Greatest
Hits" album and a final tour in Sweden.
2004 & 2005: With the A*Teens' going their
separate ways, it was rumored that Serneholt would be
the first to pursue a solo career. This proved to be
unfounded when fellow A*Teen Dhani Lennevald released
his debut single in September 2004.
Serneholt wanted to live what she couldn't experience
while she was in the band touring around the world, so
she chose to live a normal life with her friends and
family. While she was living her normal life, she was
working as a model on several magazines and fashion
shows, as well as a host of several shows in her native
Sweden.
In 2005 she was picked as the face of the Maybelline
cosmetics line in the Scandinavia. She also gave her
voice for the Swedish versions of the movies Robots and
Herbie: Fully Loaded. These endeavors allowed Marie to
maintain a presence in Swedish media despite the hiatus
of her music career.
The First Album: In 2005, Serneholt was ready to
make music again, so she called Jörgen Elofsson, who
had previously written for Britney Spears and Céline
Dion. Elofsson was busy with other artists at the time,
but Serneholt knew he was the right person to produce
her album. When she contacted Elofsson again later that
year, he had just started collaborating with two
relatively young and unknown producers, Richard Brandén
and Pär Westerlund.
Elofsson felt that he wanted to work with a Swedish
artist that wanted to reach out into the world, an
artist he could really believe in and whose career he
could be a part of from the start. He created the label
Planet Six (a part of SonyBMG), and Marie signed her
first record deal as a solo artist.
At first Serneholt was unsure in which direction she
wanted to take her music. Elofsson was relieved when
Serneholt said that she wanted to make a pop album. They
began work on the album during the year, with Elofsson
listed as co-writer of every track on the album. Besides
writing with his co-producers, he has also co-written
with Nicky Chinn and Swedish colleague Andreas Carlsson,
among others. Serneholt and Jörgen could work
undisturbed and at their own pace, with no involvement
of any record companies, media or outside opinions,
seeing that they were working under his label.
Enjoying The Ride: On February 2006, Serneholt's
first single saw the light, "That's The Way My
Heart Goes", was premiered on Swedish radio with
decent reviews and good response from the public, the
single debuted at #2 on the Swedish Charts and reached
#1 on the Official Swedish Digital Downloads Chart,
ensuring Gold Status on physical sales alone on May 19,
2006.
The album Enjoy the Ride was released on March 29, 2006,
debuting at #9 in her home country but dropping off the
charts quickly, while the single's success was growing
around the world with releases throughout Europe along
with the album and with plans to release it in South and
North America in 2007.
In May 2006, Serneholt started a promotional tour around
Germany coinciding with the German release of her album.
She also embarked on a Radio Station's Concert Tour
around Sweden and Finland.
In June, Serneholt released her second single, "I
Need A House", debuting at #2 on the Swedish
Digital Downloads Chart, but failing on the physical
sales, reaching a disappointing #40 in Sweden. The
single was released in Europe in September 2006.
In an interview in Sweden, Serneholt stated that her
debut album Enjoy the Ride will be released all over the
world including the United States, where the A*Teens
haven't released anything since their 2002 album Pop
'Til You Drop. Serneholt is also planning on a world
promotional tour starting in the end of 2006. On August
19th, 2006, Serneholt performed at Voice '06 in Kungsträdgården,
Stockholm, Sweden.
Serneholt is promoting her album throughout Europe.
"I Need A House" was picked as part of the
soundtrack of the Portuguese soap opera "Morangos
Com Acucar, and on August 8, 2006, she filmed a special
appearance on it as part of the Portuguese promotion of
the album.
Serneholt published on her official blog on September 22
that she had finished the video for "Oxygen",
stating that it will be released in mid-October and that
it was going to be different from any other video she
has done.
"Oxygen" is Marie Serneholt's third single off
her debut album. Many critics and fans were hoping that
Marie would release a more upbeat song rather than a
ballad, due to the fact that her two previous singles
did poorly outside of Sweden. There have been
unconfirmed rumors that Marie has recorded bonus tracks
for a United States release of her album.
A new album: In March 2007 Marie stated in her
MarieSerneholt.com diary section that she is working on
a new album. She also added that those who disliked her
first solo attempt might like the upcoming second album.
