Want to Ask Play a Question? Here’s Your Chance!

The girls are giving you an opportunity to ask them questions! They will try to answer as many as they can. Please remember to keep your questions appropriate and respectful.

Have you ever wanted to ask us a question and get a real answer? We notice that with many of the posts on Play Mania a lot of people respond with questions about one subject or another, things you would like to know that you are curious about or just don’t know the answer. We think it is about time that we answer what is on your mind. So this is your opportunity to ask us whatever you want. You can ask the question to all of us or any one of us individually. We will try to answer as many of your questions as possible either publicly on Play Mania or privately if you leave us an email address. We are not sure how this will work so at least to begin with we have asked our co-manager in Los Angeles, Glen Kulik, to help us with this assignment. With each question we will give him our answer and ask that he relay our response as we gave it. We will be the ones answering each question. Please keep your questions respectful to all persons concerned. Let’s see how it goes!

Love, Anais, Sanne, and Emelie

Please check the comments because questions are now being answered and one of them could be yours! I have also made a separate page for this Q&A so it will be easier for everyone to see the questions and responses: Play Mania’s Fan Q&A with Play.

Message from Play, Interview with Anaïs Parts 2 & 3

Thank you all for your replies the past few days about the fifth song from Under My Skin that should be considered for Play‘s new EP or album! The girls have now narrowed it down, but still have to make a final decision. Also, you can now watch the final parts of Anaïs‘ interview.

Thanks so much to everyone who responded to our question about a final song from UMS to be used on our upcoming American EP. While every song had its supporters it appears the favorites, from which we will be choosing, will be Under My Skin, Girls, and Famous. Each song has something to offer. We are aware of Big Time Rush, and we agree that is an issue, but Famous will not be our single and it has been our most recognizeable song the past year, so it is hard to leave the song behind entirely by leaving it off the EP. As for Girls, we are well aware that on the internet more than twice as many people have listened to that song as any other song off the album, and we can’t ignore the fact that means people really like the song. As for Under My Skin, we will tell you it is a personal favorite of ours and from your responses the past couple of days it seems many of you like it as well. This will be a difficult decision. We wanted you to know the factors we are considering in making the decision.

We are continuing our television efforts and hope to have an update for you soon. We thought in the meantime you would enjoy seeing the second and third installments of the interview with Anais which occurred last December. She covers a wide range of issues related to Play, its past, its present and its future.

Play is Going into the Studio Soon & Needs Your Help!

There was such a great response as to which songs are your favorites from Under My Skin, and the girls now need your help in choosing a fifth song from that album to possibly remix and record with Emelie. They are heading to the studio very soon and need to make a decision!

We need your help! In the next few days we have to decide what songs from Under My Skin to prepare to include on our U.S. EP or album — we are going into the studio very soon to work on whatever songs are chosen. Based in large part on the response we received from all of you on Play Mania the tentative decision has been made to use Not The One, Trash, Consequence of You, and Show Me What You Got. But we want to prepare to use one more song and the people involved in the decision can’t seem to agree. What do you think? In addition to the four songs listed above what is the one additional song from UMS which you recommend we should remix with Emelie’s voice and prepare for our U.S. release?

We really need your help as even the three of us don’t agree on the choice — each one of us favors a different fifth song! Thanks for being there to help us.

Interview with Anaïs on 12/2/10 (Part 1)

A few months ago, Anaïs was interviewed for about a half hour on camera by Jeff Timmons from 98 Degrees. Below is the first part of the interview. She talks about the formation of Play, some things the girls went through, and more. Hope you all find this interesting and enjoy!

Please feel free to leave your thoughts and comments on this video!

Finalizing Music Details, Social Networking, & More!

First of all, thank you so much for the amazing response to our request to get to know you better. We hope you found it as interesting as we did to see there are Play fans all over the world and to understand better who you are and how long you have been following the group. We are happy so many of you liked the album Under My Skin but at the same time we noticed some of you could not get it where you live or because it is too expensive. We are going to figure out a way to make our music accessible to all of you in the near future and hopefully at an affordable price.

Right now we are working on decisions for our music.. We are in the process of making the final decision on which songs from UMS will be on the EP or album we release in the U.S., then we will go in the studio and rework them with Emelie’s voice and perhaps some new remixes. We will then come to the U.S. to write and record new songs with Universal and perhaps others. We have asked Disney about using Destiny for our CD and are awaiting a response. If they give us permission we may tweak that song as well to add Emelie’s voice and to perhaps include some bigger ad libs in the second half of the song so it has a bit more power — remember, we had to record that song in a day so there was no time to get fancy. The other thing we are working on right now are our own Facebook page, Twitter page, Youtube account, and website. These things will be done in the near future and we are excited because they will help us communicate with you more often and directly and they will be interactive so you can really feel you are going along with us on this journey.. We want you by our side each and every day!!!

Take care, and we love you.

Emelie, Sanne, and Anais
