Arose lyric changes - part 2

Thanks to Sylvain, there's a clip of High Life up on his site mister-ace.com. :) I still think it's very important for us to buy the album in order to support Jenny. Think of it this way, this is one of her jobs and when she goes to a record company for her solo album, they're going to take into consideration the success, or failure, of this Arose album. So, I think it's important to buy the album if you also choose to download the mp3s.

And what do I think about Linn supposedly singing on the album? I think it's not true. There was an Arose article where Magnus was interviewed and he mentioned Linn instead of Jenny in the article. Ray e-mailed Magnus and asked about it and Magnus said it was not true about Linn being on the album, that it was Jenny. It seems like the names were mixed up in that article and the same thing happened in the album liner notes.

It does appear that Jenny sings the "lyric change" on High Life. I have a little conjecture here: I have always felt that Emrik didn't really like the fact that Jenny was in the group. It showed in the Nyhetsmorgon interview last May. I thought he wasn't fond of her because of the "image" of AOB. But, I'm wondering if he wasn't happy with this lyric change in High Life. And when listening to the mp3, you hear Emrik in the background singing "good I felt" instead of echoing Jenny's "bad I felt". Either that is a big mistake in production, which would be quite hard to overlook, or it's a sort of protest by Emrik for the lyrics being changed. Now, I think Emrik has been much nicer about Jenny being in the band in recent articles. He hasn't made it seem like it's a bad thing and has actually mentioned she's in the group, which didn't happen much before. Either he's using her name for promotion OR he's more ok with it now. I wonder which. Or maybe it's all a conspiracy theory and I'm way wrong.
