King of Pop or King of Rock - where are all the Queens? We travel to the most unlikely of places to crown the Pop Queen, but I’m pretty sure Sweden has provided the royalty. The bestselling artist in Swedish history, Carola, dials up the right track from the Elvis catalogue in order to do so. As Carola’s version of “Walk a Mile In My Shoes” is nowhere near the King’s original, this pop diva blends just the right amount of Euro pop, delta twang, and jailhouse rock to create a unique Swedish blend of the Elvis original. As the song was hot on the charts years ago, iTunes and Genius software are to thank for unearthing this track from my library. I will admit, after working with Carola on her Swedish tour, I’m a bit biased when hearing the song. The track is different (yet amazing), but her performance takes this song over the top with well orchestrated choreography, astonishing vocals, and jaw dropping looks. If you don’t have the luxury of traveling to Scandinavia to see the performance, sucks for you, but settle for the track. I’m almost certain Elvis has been hiding out in Stockholm for several decades, only to secretly produce this Carola track under an alias.
