Not much interesting information about Paul Rein, whose real name is Pauli Reinikainen, except that he is a Swedish singer who will remain mainly in the musical history of the end of the 20th century for the big Single "Hold back your love" which was released in 1985.
For this reason alone, we had to dedicate this article to him.
To discover or rediscover...

Tracks :
1984...a first title with a very local color but with a perfectly trendy sound. Rather a good omen for the rest of the events...
1984...a career that won't take off right away but there is talent in this young man, that's clear. To be continued as they say...
1985... it's in the middle of the decade that things will start to take off. It must be said that singing in English definitely helps...
1986...a first opus of more than certain quality which will allow the young Pauli to finally move from the shadows to the light...
1986...excellent work that allows the beginning of recognition expected since its beginnings. Everything happens at the right time as they say...
1986...in just a few titles he managed to establish himself as one of the sure values of the moment and at the same time earn himself a nice place in the sun...
1986... everything is going well for him in the middle of the decade, it's clear. The titles are inspired, the style is trendy, in short, what more could you ask for...?
1987...he specialized in the Dance niche but we might find him on a somewhat softer tempo later on....
1987...starting with this title. A new opus a little bit below the previous one but no need to worry about him at this stage...
1987...an adventure that continues quietly and above all surely. Be careful not to take the easy route...
1988...this title clearly shows that he certainly does not intend to let himself be left behind so easily by the competition...
1988...so we'll let him finish his decade as he sees fit. Afterwards, he'll still have to ask himself the right questions about the transition to the next decade...
1988...a return to the roots to please its early fans. It comes from a good feeling but it doesn't help to shine beyond its natural borders...
1988...a decade of the 80s that saw him blossom and then rise to power in a more than certain way. Now it remains to be seen how he intends to approach the decade of the 90s...
1988...he proves here with certainty that he can also do in much softer tempos. Nice versatility as they say...
1989...for the moment the results are more than positive in any case for the first part of his career. We are therefore impatiently awaiting the sequel...
1990...a 90s decade that started very well, in my opinion, with this title with a rather swaying tempo. Everything is under control...
1990...a 90s decade that rhymes with Dance fashion once again, a fashion that will undoubtedly remain his favorite fashion...
2005...then nothing for almost 15 years, a rather significant lull. But here he is again anyway...
2005...a return to a musical style that has little to do with what he did before, except perhaps in terms of tempo...
2006...a Lounge mode that he will practice for several years and in which he is not devoid of talent, it must be said...
2006...it would be a shame if the adventure ended at the dawn of the 90s. That's what he also said to himself...
2009...we therefore find him with pleasure during this whole decade of the 2000s in a musical mode which will have allowed him to show that he still exists at least...
2009...not only does he still exist, but he still has things to offer and quality things to boot. It would be a shame to miss out...
2011...we will find him occasionally thereafter according to his moods and especially his desires. But at least he comes back every time...
2020...he decides to revisit here some Hubert Kah dating from 1985 and the result is not so bad. An even more Dance version than the original...
2020...an adventure that continues quietly but above all an adventure that lasts. And it's certainly not the basic fans who will complain...
2020...we will enjoy until the end in any case what he still wants to offer us because there is still talent in this man...
2021...he's been around for 4 decades now and he doesn't plan on stopping there, at first glance. On the other hand, who could blame him...
2023...so last title or not concerning him ? Only the future can answer this question but knowing him it would be surprising if this were the case...
