Idolator interview with Agnes on her career choice - "It’s a loss for the rest of the world"

An interview published September 3, 2013, by a leading independent website for pop music fans - "Idolator" - gives an explanation to Agnes choice of giving up her chances of a truly international career following her breakthrough with "Release me".

Sam Lansky - Idolator - writes as follows:

"She was rocketed into stateside success in 2010 with the global takeover of her amazing dance single “Release Me,” which went to #1 on the US Hot Dance Club Songs chart and became a Top 10 radio hit all over Europe. But instead of rallying hard for a big international push to follow up that initial launch, when the time came to release her next album, Carlsson scaled back the vision, foregoing the huge commercial sound of her mega-successful 2008 LP Dance Love Pop..... 


Sam Lansky continues: 

.... It’s a loss for the rest of the world, and when I stopped by the singer’s sound check before her show at Gröna Lund in Stockholm last weekend, I told her so. But, as she explained, it was important to her that she focus her energies where it mattered most — rather than courting further international approval."
