While debate wages on over whether Clara Hagman and Julia Williamson, the two new female vocalists in Ace Of Base, are up to mustard compared to original members/siblings Jenny and Linn Berggren, a radio rip of the Swedish group’s new single “All For You” has surfaced. Get a better idea of the latest AOB additions’ vocals after the jump.

What a relief!!!”

Musically, everything about this new Ace Of Base (now stylized as Ace.Of.Base) tune has all the hallmarks of an old Ace Of Base song—shimmering synths (think “Don’t Turn Around”), an infectious Euro-pop stomp (“Life Is A Flower”), lyrics reflecting a troubled relationship (“The Sign”) and quirky, hopeful phrasing like “sunny, sunny days” (a la “it’s a day for catching tan” from “All That She Wants” or “there’s so many things there that’s gonna lift you up” from “Beautiful Life”).

So does it matter that half of the band—i.e. the main vocal half—has been replaced? Or would it have been better if they had decided to carry on under a different name? (And, no—adding those dots doesn’t count.)
