Stockholm-born singer and model
Marie Serneholt broke into the music industry as a member of
the A-Teens, a teen pop group that sold nearly ten million albums worldwide. Initially, the group updated
ABBA hits for a younger generation, and they went on to release a total of four albums. Ten of their singles reached the Top Ten of Sweden's pop chart. Upon
the A-Teens' split,
Serneholt went into modeling and stepped away from music, but she began recording solo material during 2005 with
Jörgen Elofsson, whose songwriting credits had included
Britney Spears' "(You Drive Me) Crazy" and
Kelly Clarkson's "A Moment Like This," as well as hits for
Steps,
Westlife,
Gareth Gates, and
Will Young.
Enjoy the Ride,
Serneholt's first solo album, was released in March 2006 through
Elofsson's Sony BMG-distributed boutique label; by the end of the year, three of its songs had been released as singles, with only "That's the Way My Heart Goes" reaching Sweden's Top Ten. ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide
