Swedish Music - New Music

What Swedish soccer players do on the side…

This is Swedish midfielder Christophe Lallet. He plays for a team called Hammerby. And now he’s released a pretty cute pop track which I happen to really like. Check out here.

First Listen: Karl X Johan ‘Never Leave Me’

One of my favourite emerging Swedish acts, this is a new track from Karl X Johan.

First Listen: Elliphant ‘Music Is Life’

I feel 11 years old again when I hear this new throwback from Elliphant. This is definitely her most radio-friendly song yet.

Nadia Nair – The Bon Voyage EP

I’ve featured Nadia Nair a fair few times on here. She’s from the same team that looks after Miriam Bryant; who’s turned into Sweden’s biggest new artist.

There’s no hiding from the fact that Nadia Nair has one of the biggest voices to come out of Sweden, and her tracks really push the pop boundary- they’re raw, hard and atmospheric as hell.

Check out an interview I did with the lady right here.

First Listen: The Lonely Island feat Robyn ‘Go Kindergarten’

I hate this. Until Robyn kicks in.

Then I love it.

Then she stops and I don’t like it any more. It’s a big tune from The Lonely Island though.

So, this is a very special post. Linus Svenning was unknown to me right up until a friend near forced me to watch his videos while I was in Sweden last week. I’ve never seen, or heard anything quite like this.

There’s a ton of videos over on his YouTube and they’re all amazing (some have hit 200k views). Chances are this kid won’t stay singing in the dark for much longer… Check out here.

New Music: Moa Michaeli

Swedish electropop with a very cute voice. Check out here.

New Music: Kids On The Run

Swedish folk pop. Check out here.

New Music: Johan Klingwall

This makes me smile, although I don’t really know why. It’s happy and uplifting to listen to. I don’t really understand the lyrics, but that shouldn’t stop you from enjoying it. Check out here.

New Music: Masquer

Swedish electropop. This one happens to be a cover of a Destiny’s Child classic. Cool! Check out here.

First Watch: Lune ‘Leave The World Behind’

One of the most beautiful songs I’ve heard all week from Lune. Nearly half a million views for this- it’s so nice to see.

New Music: The Royalties Sthlm

Swedish pop rock. Check out here.

First Listen: Ms. Henrik ‘Mark’

New one from one of the more interesting talents to have emerged from Sweden this year. It’s also a free download which is nice.

New Music: Manda

Swedish radio-pop. Check out here.

New Music: Everywhere

Post-pop indie from Stockholm. Check out here.

Eurovision Final is on tonight!

I’ll be in Malmö Arena tonight to watch this camp ball of fun that is Eurovision 2013. Truth be told, this year’s entries have all been a bit lukewarm bar Norway and Denmark (above), but you know- anything can happen tonight.

The show kicks off 21:00 Sweden time, and if it’s not showing in your country then you can watch it online over on Eurovision’s official website!

I might tweet a bit, so follow me on my Twitter if you’re up for it.
