Little information about Lili & Susie apart from the fact that it is a Swedish duo composed of the sisters Lili Päivärinta and Susie Päivärinta, a duo which will remain mainly in the musical history of the 80s for their flagship Single "Oh mama" released in 1987 .
As such alone, they deserved this article.

Tracks :
1985...the first steps very local color. It is clear that singing in Swedish will not help to make them known outside of Sweden...
1985...even if the duo is very local, the potential is indeed real. It is therefore certain that these 2 sisters have everything it takes to do great things...
1985...and you have to start one day as they say. It is very rare to take off from the first album, especially when it is sung in the local language...
1986...the girls understood that they wouldn't take off as long as they sang in Swedish. So here we go for the big turn...
1986...then comes THIS title ! A title which will surely remain as one of their most emblematic and which will above all project them onto the international scene in a resounding way. HU-GE !
1986...on this 2nd opus the girls alternate titles in English and titles in Swedish. This starts from a good feeling but inevitably the first will work much more than the second...
1987...new title in English which this time allows them to obtain the biggest hit of their career. A sparkling duo which will not remain as the best known of the decade but which does not lack charm, and above all talent, that's clear !
1987...return to the local language once again. Even if these titles will not break through internationally, they are not without interest in any case...
1988 ... Dance titles made to measure for the 2 pretty blondes and which work very well. They will never touch the stars but what they have produced largely holds up...
1988...some titles will not be officially released like this one but it would have been a shame to hide them. So here they are brought back to light...
1988...same for this one. Several titles that have gone unnoticed would have frankly deserved to be released as Singles but you have to make choices at a given moment...
1989 ... another title with more than certain quality. Everything that will have come from Sweden during this decade will have largely proved that this country is full of certain talents. Whether male or female in the case that interests us ...
1989 ... a communicative joie de vivre which is evident in each title. The end of the decade will turn out to be a little more complicated than expected to manage but whatever, the whole remains consistent as they say ...
1989 ... when the Swedes take over the Swedes. The girls cover here one of the flagship titles of the group Secret Service dating from 1985. Even if the copy is not worth the original, the heart is there as they say !
1990 ... they will attempt the transition to the 90s but even if they are far from being ridiculous, it is clear that the competition is already far ahead ...
1990 ... they will not have been able to take the measure of the new musical trends of this new decade and the sanction will unfortunately be final ...
1990...which will not prevent them from continuing the adventure no matter what. Certainly the best years are now behind but it doesn't matter...
1992 ... with this title close to the Intimist they show a certain versatility. A versatility that they might have had to use a little more often ...
1992 ... they finally get in tune with the sound of the moment. But it is already too late, the 2 pretty blondes will never come back in the race unfortunately ...
1993 ... which does not prevent them from continuing to deliver titles of certain quality. We will largely be satisfied with it as they say ...
1993...the important thing at this stage is that the adventure continues in one way or another. As long as there is quality, why throw in the towel prematurely...?
1996 ... and the adventure continues unabated. Certainly far from the top of the Charts but the girls still believe in it and that is the main thing !
1996 ... a decade 90 which will end with this title concerning them. But it could well be that we find them the following decade ...
2009 ... here they are again, 13 years later and all in a form that we will qualify as certain. We were afraid of having lost them definitively, it was very bad to know them !
2009 ... and even if the competition is 20 years younger on average, they certainly do not intend to be impressed. A desire to believe in it over and over again that commands respect, that's clear !
2011 ... unstoppable the 2 sisters ! And who would complain when we see what they are still capable of. We want more, that's clear !
2011 ... who could have imagined that they would still be here in 2011 ? While most groups of their time have sunk in body and soul, they, on the other hand, do not let go. Frankly, ladies, I have only one word to say : well done !
2014 ... they still manage to amaze us with their versatility of style and their ability to succeed and never go out of style. So when will the next title be ...
2014 ... if we only listen to this song without seeing images, we say to ourselves that the singers must be around 20 years old. No, no, they started their careers in 1985, who would have believed it !
2020 ... they will not let go ! Incredible but true, here they are again in this new decade of 2020. And always in a musical style that fits perfectly with the latest trends. So there, ladies, I say hats off ! To be continued...
2021...what is certain in any case is that given their current level of productivity, there is no question at this stage that the adventure will end there...
2021...what is certain in any case is that given their current level of productivity, there is no question at this stage that the adventure will end there...
2022...especially since they must feel less and less alone because more and more artists from the same era as them are also coming back...
2022...they really impress with the quality of what they continue to deliver. Especially since they also try to keep up with the times as best they can...
2023...a decade 2020 which sees them in a truly astonishing form and which we would not have imagined at this level. We definitely want more...
2023...who could have imagined for a single second when they started their career in 1985 that they would still be here almost 40 years later ? Not many people, that’s for sure !
2023...so last title or not ? Knowing them this would surprise me enormously and it remains to be seen when they will come back next time. But there will definitely be a next time...
