Agnes Lyrics - Discography
Agnes Emilia Carlsson (born March 6, 1988) was born in Vänersborg, Sweden. She is a Swedish singer. She is professionally known as Agnes. Her meteoric rise to fame transpired as she clinched victory in Idol 2005, the second season of the esteemed Swedish Idol series. Following this triumph, Agnes inked a deal with Sony Music, propelling her into the limelight with the release of her eponymous debut album, "Agnes," and its successor, "Stronger." Both albums ascended to the summit of the Swedish Top 60 Albums Chart, solidifying her status as a musical force.
In a pivotal career move, Agnes amicably parted ways with Sony Music in early 2008 and embraced a new chapter with the independent label Roxy Recordings. This transition marked the genesis of her third album, "Dance Love Pop," which made its debut on October 28, 2008. The album not only secured the fifth position in Sweden but also resonated internationally, securing spots in the charts of Austria, France, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. With a global sales tally of 200,000 albums, "Dance Love Pop" stands as Agnes's magnum opus, with notable success in France and her homeland.
The album's singles, "On and On" and "Release Me," catapulted Agnes to international acclaim, achieving top-ten positions on charts worldwide. The latter, "Release Me," emerged as a sensation by topping the Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs and reaching third place in the United Kingdom, boasting a staggering 900,000 copies sold globally.
Agnes draws inspiration from musical luminaries such as Stevie Wonder, while venerating the legacies of Whitney Houston and Janet Jackson as guiding lights in her artistic journey. Her multifaceted talent and international triumphs underscore Agnes's enduring impact on the global music landscape.
