Official Biography Ace of Base Page 3
The album showcases the band's variety within the accessible pop format. The strength of the band's song writing shows in the first single, "Beautiful Morning", a slice of pure, classic Ace Of Base pop. "Ordinary Day" is a classy, harmonious tune with a laid back quality that Jonas's wife helped him rediscover when he played her some older songs. The album titled "Da Capo" is a fun up-tempo tune and remains Jonas's and Ulf's personal favourite. The ballad "The Juvenile" is a slow, dramatic thing that was initially written for a James Bond movie. However, the band's then record label in America persuaded them not to be involved. Instead, a new lyric was written. "I really like its message, Jenny concurs: "Basically it says: if you don't take care of the young now, they're not going to care for you later on"...
Ace Of Base consists of four distinct personalities. Jonas is the family man, married with four children. Apart from being a typical songwriter, he loves domestic life and interior design, preferring old furniture to modernity's. Jenny is the more extrovert of the Berggren sisters, she loves dancing in clubs as much as singing in choirs, Linn tries to live a normal life outside of the limelight and is the band's most low-key member. Both Jenny and Linn see themselves as singers first and foremost and constantly try to evolve by injecting their experiences to their craft. Since Ulf and Jonas wrote the first album, the girls started to show their strengths as songwriters on the band's second album. They want to inspire everyone to have a go at song writing.
Ulf and Jenny will be doing most of the promotion for the new album, traveling around the world together (as Jenny points out, most bands tend to be represented by two members when it's time for the promotional trips). "Ulf is the traditional pop star of the band", smiles Jonas. "He loves traveling, mingling and parties and is probably the one who lives up to people's expectations when it comes to, how a pop star "should" act". A Jenny ad that there's more than meets the eye: "Ulf has always been interested in people and business. He is an entrepreneur and has over the years been given quite responsible roles outside of the band as well. He is an ideas person and a doer and is very good at strategies.
