New Music: ISA

This is some seriously exciting up and coming Swedish talent. There’s not much out there on this little lady yet, but ISA will release her debut single “Bomb” on June 11th. Check out here.

First Watch: Agnes ‘One Last Time’

I haven’t blogged much about Swedish pop superstar Agnes before because I felt everyone else was writing so much about her that there wasn’t any point for another person to start doing it. But when I heard her new single, One Last Time, I just HAD to feature this- it’s so beautiful and is such a departure from her old, usual style.

The track is written by Agnes, Ana Diaz and Jonas Quant. The single is produced by Jonas Quant (Hurts, Leona Lewis, Kylie Minogue, No Doubt). The video is directed by Amir Chamdin (The Cardigans).

First Watch: Coco Morier ‘Ambulance’

Since releasing material earlier this year Coco Morier has gone from strength to strength- and is now signed to INGRID – the artist collective with Lykke Li, Peter, Bjorn & John etc. Check out this new video for the single ‘Ambulance’.

The Swedish Royal Guard performing Eurovision winner ‘Euphoria’ by Loreen

I am ridiculously happy for Sweden and Loreen winning this year’s Eurovision over the weekend. It was about time and the song deserved to win. In all it’s Swedish amazingness, watch the Swedish Royal Guard perform the winning song. It’s great!

As we’re Scandi-obsessed, we’ll be launching a microsite soon following the run up to Sweden 2013!

Revl9n release new album

I don’t usually plug new albums but Revl9n hold a special place in my heart, as they are responsible for one of my favourite songs from my uni days, which is nice.

This Swedish band have a new record that’s been described as ‘the sound of neon-soaked cab rides in search of cheap thrills, of lives full of sex and frustration, danger and euphoria. It’s a scream in the dark, a howl from the heart, an absolute rush.’ So there you go. Album’s out May 14th 2012.
