Forgotten Gem: Nothing at all
Todays ‘Forgotten Gem’ comes from American singer Lagaylia Frazier. Before Lagaylia took to the Melodifestivalen stage she had made quite a name for herself stateside having appeared opposite Sharon Stone and Sylvester Stallone in the movie ‘The Specialist’ as a club singer performing two songs one of which, ‘Shower me with love’ would go on in a remixed version to reach number 2 on the Billboard dance charts. She went on to work with Whitney Houston and Jennifer Lopez as a backing singer and then in fairytale fashion in 1999 while on a trip to Sweden she fell in love with both a man and a country. In 2001 she left America to move to Stockholm for a permanent relocation. She has entered the Melodifestivalen twice, in 2004 with ‘It’s in the stars’ and our forgotten gem song ‘Nothing at all’ in 2005. I can’t fathom how she lost out to Martin Stenmarck with ‘Las Vegas’ but she did. With a voice to rival the top Diva’s Lagaylia released her debut album, ‘Uncovered’ in 2007 to much critical acclaim. We look forward to hearing more from this understated singer in the years to come.
