The fight for Ace Of Base
In the 90s Ace Of Base was one of the biggest pop groups. Since then, members have gone their separate ways to pursue their respective careers. Now Berggren siblings fighting for the rights to the band name .
In September or October release Jonas Berggren, 43 , and Ulf Ekberg, 39 , a new album together . And the guys are considering to use their old world-famous band name.
On Friday leaked song " Mr. Replay " on the net to pen Ace Of Base – and Ulf Ekberg of Amusement sheet confirms that it is he and Jonas Berggren behind the demo version .
- It will be on our album , "he says .
Two unknown girls
The clip on Youtube of the song illustrated a picture of him, Jonas Berggren and two unknown girls. Ulf Ekberg says he looks forward to a comeback – and he sees no obstacles to run under the name Ace Of Base, although not all the original members remain.
“The paper that we can – do it. Under the deal signed on Ace Of Base in 1991 and still valid,” he says .
But the name of the use is not supported by Ace Of Base one original singer, who is also Jonas Berggren’s sister, Jenny Berggren, 38 , who in the autumn releases her first solo album.
" Four original members "
