BWO is the perfect pop!當然這話聽來有一種過於誇口的自大,但當你聽完這張專輯後,你就不得不相信他們這般自信的來由。
應該說是一種與生俱來的民族性,可以把腦袋裡怪誕有趣的實驗想法,轉變成實用的日常用品,從家具、汽車到音樂。瑞典,這個世界上第三大的流行音樂出口國,造就過Abba、Roxette、Ace Of Base、The Cardigans這些大家耳熟能詳的名字,BWO這組來自瑞典三人團體,由來自怪趣流行舞曲團Army Of Lovers主腦,當今瑞典流行樂壇最重要的流行炒手之一的Alexander Bard領軍,冷感冶豔的Keyboard手Marina Schiptjenko,加上有如”凡爾賽玫瑰”作者池田理代子筆下的美型男主角出走的主唱Martin Rolinski。2004年推出了為歐洲樂評視為徹底顛覆各國排行榜的首張專輯Prototype,不但首張單曲”Living In A Fantasy”一發行便在瑞典當地直接打入前二十名之內,在俄羅斯拿下冠軍位置,專輯更在2005 Rock Bear Awards中從Kent 及The Cardigans拿下Best Swedish Band的大獎。
在經歷了歐陸各地的大小演出及掌聲後,2006年更為洗練的BWO帶來了最新專輯『Halcyon Days』。從精彩的專輯開場曲”Chariots Of Fire”、高張力的”Temple Of Love”,急轉至深情激昂的”Will My Arms Be Strong Enough”、夢幻動人的首支單曲”We Could Be Heroes”,清新活潑的”Hanging On The Phone”、帶點R&B節奏的”Angel Of The Night”、小品風味的輕鬆作品”I Keep Walking On”,回到重塑Pet Shop Boys、Erasure 等80氣味的”Marrakech”、”Obsession”及”Crystal Odyssey”等。如同一場音樂的奇幻之旅,俯拾皆是驚喜。另外,在專輯最後,還同時收錄在首張專輯『Prototype』大受歡迎的”Voodoo Magic”、”Sixteen Tons Of Hardware”、”Sunshine In The Rain”及”Open Door”等4首舊作。
從滿是動感的歐陸舞曲、深情動人的抒情曲風到暢快的80風格,像是高調地宣示著對於流行音樂掌控的能力,將流行音樂的各種招式全然表現得淋漓盡致。像是一張流行音樂的示範教材,讓人不膺服Alexander Bard這位流行製作人的才華洋溢.

Will My Arms Be Strong Enough Walking through the empty rooms
The halls and lawns where children used to play
I can write the storyline
From secrets of the past
Looking through the doom and gloom
The chapel where you bent your knees to pray
I can feel a heart resigned
From love that’s meant to last
Now I know what you’ve been through
The tears you’ve tried to hide
Let me prove my trust in you
I’ll stand right by your side
Will my arms be strong enough
To take you through the night
Will my arms be strong enough
To lead you to the light
Will my arms be strong enough
To dare you seize the day
Could it be love that gives the strength
To wash our sins away
Come and leave the past behind
Tonight we’re on a journey to the stars
I have seen the promised sign
Where angels fear to fly
Now I know what you’ve been through
The tears you’ve tried to hide
Let me prove my trust in you
I’ll stand right by your side
Will my arms be strong enough
To take you through the night
Will my arms be strong enough
To lead you to the light
Will my arms be strong enough
To dare you seize the day
Could it be love that gives the strength
To wash our sins away
Will my arms be strong enough
Will my arms be strong enough
Will my arms be strong enough
Will my arms be strong
