(Short clip of “All For You” plays) Male announcer: Ace of Base, Sweden’s international multi-platinum selling artists are back for another Sirius XM exclusive, on The Pulse. Female announcer: The North American premiere of the latest Ace of Base album, The Golden Ratio, on The Pulse. Here’s Ulf and Jonas. (background clip of All That She Wants pulsing beat plays) Ulf: Hi everyone. You’re here with Ace of Base on Sirius XM and we are going through our new album, The Golden Ratio, track by track. The first song on the album is called All For You, and it was one of the last songs we wrote for the album. It was a song we felt we needed: one more dance track, and we tried to bring back the early nineties to 2010. It was a lot of experimenting with the synthesizers and it’s a cool track. It’s a love song and we made a beautiful video for it. Jonas: A bittersweet love song, you know, thinking back to Paris. Ulf: And this is the first single in Europe. We’ll see about the States. (All For You plays) Ulf: Hi, I’m Ulf. Jonas: I’m Jonas. Clara: I’m Clara. Julia: I’m Julia. All four: And we are Ace of Base Clara: That was the single, All For You, and the second track is called Blah Blah Blah. Ulf, why don’t you tell us about Blah Blah Blah? Ulf: Well, the second track on the album, Blah Blah Blah on the Radio, we had a few different versions on it. We had a little interesting discussion in Europe with our record company about the lyrics and they were not so sure if radio would appreciate the lyrics, ‘blah blah blah on the radio’. So we did a couple of different versions on it. We did ‘Let it Play on the Radio’, we did ‘Blah Blah Blah, Everywhere I Go’, we did a lot of different versions. But in the end of the day, we realized that Blah Blah Blah On the Radio has the strongest ‘hook’ in it. Of course it was quite interesting to see that Kesha came out with a song called ‘Blah Blah Blah’, at kind of the same time we were planning to release our first single, which could have been ‘Blah Blah Blah’. She didn’t really have a big hit in Europe, but I believe she was #1 in both the U.S. and Canada. Of course, that was a little confusing for a little while, but I think we are quite happy we decided to keep the original lyrics for this track, so here you go. (Blah Blah Blah plays) Clara(?): We’re Ace of Base, and that was ‘Blah Blah Blah’. Ulf: And our next track on the album, which is playing for you, is called The Golden Ratio, and that’s actually the name of the whole album. It was the last song we wrote for the album. We did it like a month after ‘All For You’. We thought we were finished with the album, but we got so inspired of the result of writing ‘All For You’, so we decided to do one more track. This is another dance track, very electronic, very synth-inspired. I think very Ace of Base-ish, but with kind of a cool, modern style to it. Clara(?): Yeah. Jonas: Because a ratio is… if you’ve seen the film The DaVinci Code, it’s kind of the line-ear [linear] perfectionist you would say or something. It’s the beauty in things: Mona Lisa, how her… Julia(?): Smile Jonas: How she smiles, and old Greek buildings’ proportions, so that is The Golden Ratio, and we are very happy with the album so… Clara(?): The Golden Ratio in life. Jonas: Yeah. So here comes ‘The Golden Ratio’. (The Golden Ratio plays) They introduce themselves again Clara: That was The Golden Rachio, and now we’re going to play our fourth track on the album, and that’s ‘Southern California’. So Ulf, what can you tale [sic] about ‘Southern California’? Ulf: Well, it’s very hot in southern California. Clara: Very hot *laughs* everyone talking at once Clara(?): I wanna be there… Ulf: It’s a way for us cold Swedes to dream a way of some… a better life… Clara: I’m actually hoping that one will be the second single so we can go there and do the video there. *laughs* Ulf: I think this is… ‘Southern California’ shows a little different side of Ace of Base that we’ve never seen, well, sh
