<… Read Full Bio ↴Swedish pop group Ace of Base was formed in Göteborg, Sweden in 1990.
The band's original lineup consisted of Ulf Ekberg (Buddha), and siblings Jonas Berggren (Joker), Linn Berggren and Jenny Berggren; the two Berggren sisters left in 2007 and 2009 respectively, and were replaced with Clara Hagman and Julia Williamson.
Ace Of Base broke through internationally in 1993 with the hit 'All That She Wants' and one year later with 'The Sign' worldwide. Their album 'Happy Nation' (released as 'The Sign' in the USA) went on to sell over 20 million copies.
Their second album, "The Bridge" released in 1995, was well received with the hit single 'Beautiful Life' breaking away from their reggae-pop sound into a more pop-dance sound. It seemed clear that with music tastes rapidly changing, the hype about the band died down, much to the relief of blonde singer Linn who decided to hand over power to her sister Jenny for their third album. "Flowers", also known as "Cruel Summer" in America. It was released in 1998 and was not as popular as their first two albums.
Their fourth album, "Da Capo", was released in 2002. Whilst well received by fans, Da Capo received little publicity from the new record company Universal after Mega Records ceased to exist in 2001.
In October and November 2005, the band performed several concerts at the "Night of the Proms" show in Belgium, their first orchestated work. Jenny, Jonas, and Ulf performed four of their biggest hits to the audience: The Sign, All That She Wants, Beautiful Life & Life Is A Flower.
In 2007 Ulf Ekberg confirmed in an interview that Malin Berggren has officially left the band and that she would not be involved with any future projects. The group had already been performing mostly without Linn as a trio for a decade before her departure.
Since 2007 the band is on tour, performing in Europe and Asia. A global world tour is planned for 2009.
On November 2008 Ace of Base issued a new Greatest Hits compilation. The 3-disc set includes one CD with the hits, a second CD containing remixes, and the third disc, a DVD containing all the music videos. Three new remixes, "The Sign 2009", "Wheel of Fortune 2009" and "Don't Turn Around 2009" are included. "Wheel of Fortune 2009" were released worldwide on 24 October 2009 as the lead single of the Greatest Hits album.
In 2009, Ulf Ekberg and Jonas Berggren were joined by two new vocalists, Clara Hagman and Julia Williamson. The band released their fifth album, The Golden Ratio, in September 2010. It entered the German album charts at #20 (with All For You and The Golden Ratio both entering the Top 40) and at # 100 in Switzerland. The band plan to release "The Golden Ratio" in the UK in 2011.

Blah Blah Blah On the Radio
Ace of Base Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's when we said our first hello
Two perfect strangers hand in hand
Give me more of your voice,
I can't resist it
I'm sitting in my car, so tired
I've had enough of broken dreams
My self-esteem needs a glee
Whoa
Bla Bla Bla on the radio
Give me some music I can listen to
Give me that music, 'cause I want to listen, oh oh
Bla Bla Bla on the radio
I've been Waiting for our song to play
Baby let us run away
I'm waiting for our song to play
I'm not over you
I'd like you to take me back to last Summer
So far away from where we are
Our tropic night will last forever
Our final "au revoir"
Whoa
Bla Bla Bla on the radio
Give me some music I can listen to
Give me that music, 'cause I want to listen, oh oh
Bla Bla Bla on the radio
I've been Waiting for our song to play
Baby let us run away
I'm waiting for our song to play
I'm not over you
I see us walking in the sand
That's when we said our first hello
Two perfect strangers hand in hand
Give me more of your voice,
I can't resist it
O-o-oh
On the radio, I can listen to
Oh-oh-oh!
Bla bla bla on the radio
Oh-oh-oh
Give me some music I can listen to
Give me some music I can listen to
Bla bla bla on the radio, oh oh oh,
bla bla bla on the radio, oh oh oh
The song "Blah Blah Blah On the Radio" by Ace of Base is a nostalgic love song about a past summer romance. The lyrics reminisce on the beginning of the relationship, when the two lovers met for the first time walking on the beach, and also the end of the relationship, when the singer is feeling lost and lonely in their car after being fired. The song expresses a longing for the past and a desire to escape the present, as the singer begs for music they can truly listen to that will take them away from their current situation.
The repetitive phrase "Bla Bla Bla on the radio" represents the sense of being stuck in a mundane routine with nothing meaningful to listen to, and the desire for something more significant and meaningful. The song speaks to the power of music to transport us to a different place and time, and the memories and emotions that can be triggered through a simple song on the radio.
Overall, "Blah Blah Blah On the Radio" is a yearning and emotional love song that speaks to the universal desire to escape reality through music and nostalgia.
