Ängeln i rummet

Swedish singer-songwriter Laleh, covered "Ängeln i rummet" as part of reality television series Så mycket bättre. Although not officially released as a single, the song was available digitally in Sweden as part of the weekly compilations that accompanied the series, on 6 November 2011, released by Universal Music Sweden in conjunction with TV4. It was later included on her extended play of all of the interpretations included on the show, titled Tolkningarna on 25 December 2011, released by Lost Army and Warner Music Sweden.[4] Furthermore Tolkningarna was released as a bonus disc on the physical versions of Laleh's fourth studio album, Sjung, released on 25 January 2012.[5]

As part of Så mycket bättre, artists have to create interpretations of the other competitors well-known songs on a weekly basis. The show broadcast on 5 November 2011 focused on Eva Dahlgren, who was also taking part in the series. Laleh reworked Dahlgren's slow intimate pop ballad and created a synth-driven upbeat indie pop song. This was the second week of the program, following the Tomas Ledin episode. At the time, Laleh's version of Just nu! was charting on the Sverigetopplistan at number fifty.[6] "Ängeln i rummet" became a bigger hit, helped by extensive support by Sveriges Radio P3,[7] and eventually peaked at number six in Sweden,[8] Laleh's best chart placing in the country. The interpretation went on to become the season's most downloaded track, remaining in the top 40 for thirteen weeks.[8]
