BGD Producer Fantasy

Here's mine:

In a perfect world...

LINNEA HANDBERG would regain her interest in bubblegum dance music, bringing back both the Bambee and Miss Papaya projects and writing many more catchy demos in her old style.

A-MOE would release another excellent album.

JOHNNY JAM & DELGADO, inspired by Aqua's reunion, will decide to remix a couple of their songs on their new album, just for old time's sake. They are given a taste of the past and love it, and decide to bring back many of their old bubblegum dance groups (such as 3-2-1) and remix their songs in what they call the "updated" bubblegum dance style.

MICHAEL SKOUBOE will return to the bubblegum dance production scene, forming new groups in an updated bubblegum style, that is a bit harder and more advanced sounding than the traditional bubblegum, but very much "dance" music, and not bubblegum "pop" like most of the new acts today. He will also be interested in remixing for Aqua, Linnea's new projects, and Bambee again, and can't wait to get into the "swing of things" again.

YUMM YUMM will release a full studio album, with production done by ADAM EDELMANN.

BLUE MONSTER will finally be signed to a record label, and also features in a number of rhythm dancing games which helps them gain recognition world wide. Their songs will be updated to a more modern style, making the album than we own today incredibly rare, but it will be released. Some of the songs will be dropped from the release, and new ones will be written.

Plazma: They only have 1 song “Getting Married” but it’s such a great start, I can only imagine how great a full album would be. I would get the same artists and great writers and hook them up. I can only see them getting better.

Whoopee!: Also just one song “Loveline”, but someone compared this song to “the closest thing to Aqua that they know”. I think I agree. I say get them together and make beautiful music.

Babe: This group also only has 3 songs “Little Baby Boy”, “Call Me” and “Hold Me”. I’ve only heard 2 of the songs, but they are both great. A mix of Jenny Rom and Aqua styles. Jumpy poppy and wonderful. It’s groups like this that I wish were a bit more solid than 3 songs.

Daze: There have been rumors that they might come back together, but nothing has really happened for quite a while. I would bring them back with the same group members, same writers etc. I would try to marry the styles of their first and second albums, so that they would have some songs like “Land of the Living”, “Mizz Molly” and “Superhero”. I think they would have greater success if they did this and I sure would be happy.

Caramell: I admire this group because they sing completely in their language. Simple enough, all they have to do is continue like they did. I’d love to have more music by them in my library!

Dominoo: This group is utter perfection. The theme of their first album was so fun and it would be great to see another album with a different theme. Perhaps they could tour other countries or take on a completely different theme. I think a Fantasy Adventure theme would be PERFECT for them. Wow how I wish this could happen. Mitch please enlighten me if there have been any rumours around these guys!

Lucky Twice: Like DjHaze said it would be awesome to have them back. Personally I don’t care if it’s the same girls, I just want to hear more of the same style music. There isn’t a lot of Bubblegum that sounds that way.

Fast Food Rockers: First thing I’d do is change their name and image. Fast food is a terrible theme, I’m sure these skinny people eat at McDonalds everyday…not. The theme kept me from listening to their music for a long while. Anyway the group has a lot of singing talent. I’d get them to do slightly more dance oriented songs. And give them a new theme. I don’t know… Policemen/woman anything but Fast Food.

Rebecca: She’s an underrated artist. She has a great voice and super fun songs. You know, she might become more popular if she tried it again. Wouldn’t really do anything to her style or image. She’s great the way she is.

Haha, this seems like fun! I'll join in!

Creamy: Even if this is intended to be the group's original formations coming back into existance, I actually could not even see a fantasy reformation of this group's original members. Perhaps if they got a name change ('Creamy' is an awfully awkward name for a group including twenty-something women), or more likely, a complete reformation, I would be more keen on the idea.

But since this is a fantasy thread, I will just assume that I got permission from the group's original creators to re-create Creamy with two different groups. I really wouldn't change their image much, since 'Christian' teen pop (as in not lyrically Christian, just image-wise) seem to be kind of in right now (think the Jonas Brothers). Perhaps I would make their outfits slightly more sleek (think some slight Lady GaGa influences), and overall more original, since outside of most of their 'We Got the Time'-era outfits were somewhat bland and unoriginal.

In terms of sound, I would find it more difficult to update the group while maintaining their bubblegum roots. Most popular teen pop today is either more pop-rock or electro-pop in style, so I would probably incorporate some electro-pop into their songs while still keeping the organic elements, like in 'Do You Think I'm Pretty'.

Small*Talk: I pretty much would do the same thing that I would do with Creamy in terms of entirely reforming them, as even though their name is not that unfortunate, the concept of women singing teen pop is a little odd to me. I would perhaps mix up their music a bit more, and have them sing in mostly English, but with some Danish (as much as I hate to do that, it's an international label, right?) Otherwise, I would drop the cover-y aspect of the group, and go for some more original songs and treat them like I did with Creamy.
