Style certainly are a Swedish synth pop music group that peaked in recognition through the mid-’80s having a string of Best Five hits, especially the chart-topping smash “Dover-Calais.” The music group was founded in 1983 by Christer Sandelin, Tommy Ekman, and Gigi Hamilton, who previously have been people of Freestyle, an internationally well-known synth pop music group with an identical design. During 1981 and 1982, Freestyle strike the top reaches from the graphs in Sweden and Norway using the albums Fantasi (1981) and Modiga Agenter (1982) as well as the singles “Vill Ha Dej” (1981) and “?-gon Som Glittrar” (1982). Pursuing Freestyle’s separation, Ekman, Sandelin, and Hamilton founded Style — essentially a continuation of Freestyle with fewer bandmembers — and produced their recording debut in 1983 with Therefore Chic. The recording wasn’t especially well-known, nor was its follow-up work, Visioner (1985). Style finally broke to mainstream achievement in 1986 using a third-place surface finish for the reason that year’s Swedish Melodifestivalen using their melody “Dover-Calais.” Released being a industrial one, “Dover-Calais” was a smash strike, topping the Swedish singles graph and achieving the TOP in Norway. The associated full-length record, Heaven No. 7 (1986), the band’s third full-length work to time, was also a big strike, reaching the Best Five in Sweden and the very best 20 in Norway. The follow-up albums Daylight Robbery (1987) and Issue of your time (1988) had been also popular, achieving the TOP in Sweden and spawning the very best Five strikes “Operate for YOUR DAILY LIFE,” “Clear Bed,” and “It’s a Top secret.” Furthermore, the music group competed in Melodifestivalen another time, completing in sixth put in place 1987 with “Hands i Hands.” Amid this achievement, Style split up in 1989, as well as the bandmembers embarked on split solo professions. Sandelin was most effective, hitting the very best Five in 1989 using the strike one “Det Hon Vill Ha.” He produced his solo record debut in 1989 with Luften Darrar, a high Ten strike, while Ekman produced his in 1990 with Tommy Ekman and Hamilton produced hers in 1991 with Gigi Hamilton. A decade after the break up of Design, Ekman and Sandelin reunited the music group sans Hamilton for the very best Ten comeback record Vill Ha Dej Igen (2009), the name track of that was a high Five strike.
