Artist Bio
”Full Circle” is the brand new album from Jim Jidhed, it's his first for Atenzia Records and it is nothing else that a stunning comeback!
At the end of the eighties Jim had massive success as lead singer in Swedish melodic hard rock act Alien, with whom he recorded the album “Alien” and a number of singles. The bands high point came with the single “Only One Woman” which peaked at number one at the Swedish sales chart and stayed up there for five months! It also was a major radio hit and it entered number one on the two biggest radio charts in Sweden. All this helped the full length album to reach number two at the album charts! The two following singles also entered at top twenty and was massive over the national Swedish radio. Outside Sweden Alien also had major success in Japan and has over the years reached cult status with their debut album among the fans of melodic rock around Europe!

Shortly after he left Alien and started a career as a solo artist and released two albums (“Jim” and “Snart Kommer Natten”) during the first years of the nineties. Both of them did well and entered high on the Swedish sales charts. Jim performed the song “Kommer Du Ihåg Mig” at the finals of the Swedish outtakes to the European Song Contest; it ended at third place and became a huge hit in May 1991. Jim also had big success with the singles “Silence Is Golden” and “Wild Young And Free” which both reach Top 20 in Sweden!

In 1997 a double “Best Of” with Alien was released about the same time as Jim once again took part at the Swedish outtakes to the European Song Contest. This time with the song “Charlie”, it didn't win but the single was among the forty most sold singles in Sweden during that year.

The new Jim Jidhed album “Full Circle” is produced by Tommy Denander who is well known for his work with such international stars as Toto and Richard Marx and many more. Jim and Tommy started their collaboration on Tommy's Radioactive album, on which artists like Toto, David Foster, Chicago and a long row of well known names appears. Jim sings on one of the tracks and is backed up by the members of Toto!

The new album “Full Circle” consists of thirteen very strong melodies with even stronger choruses. The album will surprise many with it's extraordinary song material and listeners all over will be totally knocked out by Jim's range and unbelievable vocal performance!
