One of the first songs that put Sweden on the world music map was addicted to feeling with blue swede And Björn Skifs. Now the song has been remixed into Dolby AtmosAvailable to listen to via Apple Music.

Björn Skives and song producer, Bengt Palmers, Says:

– How do we achieve that, we don’t have hypertrophy, and if we were to sum up the listening experience in two words, it would be “absolutely amazing!

Bengt Palmers continues:

– While the standard stereo combination provides a left/right experience, this combination creates an incredibly cool 3D room experience. I have had the good fortune and privilege to hear the mix of the Björn and Ble Sweden version of “Hooked on a feel”, in which the initial Ooga-Chaka chorus is heard left/right while – when Björn begins to sing the first syllable – it sounds like he’s standing “in front of the choir” , ie much closer to the listener.

Dolby Atmos has been around for a while, but it launched on Apple Music in the summer of 2021, and it’s proven to be very popular. So far, 40 million subscribers have listened to music converted to spatial sound, and the consumption of spatial sound in the fall has increased 20 times faster than ordinary compressed sound.

Matt Borum And Alan JS Behind the new mix is ​​Hooked On A Feeling, and they commented on the release:

– We wanted to cherish the popular song that fans have enjoyed over many years, but also highlight some of the most iconic moments, such as the Ooga-Chaka chorus, Björn’s golden vocals and the woodwind group. This combination puts you in the center of the music and surrounds you with everything that is so amazing in Blue Swedishe.
