Swedish pop princess Agnes Carlsson is back and made a nice video for her second single "I Need You Now" in the UK, the follow-up to her last summer top three and breakthrough international hit "Release Me," dominating the airwaves and dancefloors for months. It's another pop/dance offering taken from her third album, "Dance Love Pop."The new single "I Need You Now" was written by Anders Hansson and Sharon Vaughn. It was released as the album's fourth single in Sweden, and as Agnes' second single in the UK in a remixed form. The song has been re-recorded and completely reproduced over the last summer and premiered on November 16, 2009. Sticking to the classier end of the Europop spectrum, 'I Need You Now' marries soothing strings and unimposing dance beats before building into a heartfelt chorus that neatly showcases Agnes's powerful set of pipes. Agnes commented to The Sun on the song: "It's simple and direct, you can relate to it and I love the lyrics. The first time I heard it, I thought this is me. This is my life."
Agnes has been in the music game since 17 and is now 21. She won the Swedish Pop Idol competition in 2005 and the MTV Europe Awards "Best Swedish Act," she finally conquers Europe. The CEO of Interscope Records, Ron Fair says "She has it all. She is an amazing singer, looks good, is fearless and humble." He also described the former Idol winner as "a mix of Alanis Morissette, Gwen Stefani and Christina Aguilera". Agnes is now ready to capitalize on the success of "Release Me" with her second single "I Need You Now."
The music video was shot in the Mojave desert at the El Mirage dry lake bed outside Los Angeles on October 4, 2009. It was directed by Paul Boyd. It contains Agnes driving the futuristic Aptera electric vehicle arrives in the middle of nowhere. Agnes steps out wearing a big black boots, a silver suit and carrying some high-tech binocular-style device, and then her concentration is broken by a Native American Indian who arrives on horseback probably looking for Agnes. In the end, the Indian finally sees her and allows her to ride atop his horse like the perfect gentleman he is and they ride on off into the sunset.
