Cue - Burnin'

Me and Stones have been working at a Punk "Oi Festival" so after 2 days of Punk Rock I want some quiet and soft....

This is a Swedish group called Cue, did some tunes and then they disappeared from the music scene. When I heard this tune for the first time, I thought shit what a voice.
What even understand where the two persons that was the band Niklas Hjulström and Anders Melander.





Anders Melander was a composer working for the Swedish TV and a theatre director at Angeredsteatern. He was also much earlier a member in the progg band Nationalteatern. Niklas Hjulström on the other hand was an actor. The two had cooperated before working on a song and Anders knew Hjulström was a skilled singer. So when Anders needed a singer to sing "Burnin'", a song composed by him for the Swedish TV series "Glappet", he asked Hjulström and they formed together a band called Cue.

Although not strictly intended for release as a hit, just usage for the TV series, the song gained popularity and upon release as the first single for Cue.



When Hjulström's work at Angeredsteatern ended, it was an opportune time for the duo to release in 2000 their first album Cue and a second single from the album entitled "Crazy". A second album followed in 2006 entitled Guide in Blue where both Anders Melander and Niklas Hjulström wrote songs.

Eventually Cue became more of a Hjulström solo project besides his new work as director and art leader at the theatre Folkteatern.

Ladys and Gents, This is Cue!

Enjoy!


Cheers, Thetania
