This song is called Fizzy Lettuce. I would never have thought to call a song Fizzy Lettuce but it’s interesting to say the least. I get that funny twitch that this girl group could very possibly blow up in the next year… It’s a little bit vintage Sugababes in my eyes. Good. Check out here.
Took a little while to get into this but it’s pretty special. This is ‘jazz dub’ and the band cite Prince, Jamie Lidell & PJ Harvey as major influences. Check out here.
I wish more 16-year olds had a flair to make this sort of music. I feel big things happening for Rainy Milo. Check out here.
This girl seems to be going from strength to strength. Previously featured on Alfitude, this is Ianna Harvey’s new video. Her debut EP ‘Come Closer’ is out now for free download here.
Incredible to think that this big voice belongs to Elias Sahlin, a 16-year old Swedish kid who also does a little bit of Gospel singing with the Tensta Gospel Choir. Very excited to see where this leads up to. Check out here.
Sexy, moody Americana style music with that unmistakable Scandinavian beat. The chap’s Finnish. Check out here.
Australian electropop with an infectious beat. Check out here.
The surname sounds familiar doesn’t it? That’s because this lady is the daughter of the one and only legendary soul god that is Bobby Womack. Her sound isn’t as intense as her dad’s, but that doesn’t make it amazing RnB. Very, very promising. Check out here.
I struggle to find Finnish music to share on here, so I was highly appreciative of a certain follower of Alfitude who sent me a couple of recommendations, one of which is Ronya.
I have heard of this lady before but never really connected to her music. However, this track is insane, and for that I am now a fan. I’m coming to realise that if there’s one thing the Finnish are good at with pop, is their sheer love of over-indulgence. Listen to the chorus- it’s mental! Check out here.
Great new underground indie rock with a little shoegaze, from Gothenburg. Check out here.
Swedish acoustic pop. Moa came third on Swedish Idol last year and is now releasing her debut album ”Different Path” on September 12th. Check out here.
This Japanese lot have a very 90’s indie sound. The official description calls it ‘fuzztone bubblegum pop, shoegaze and psych, with just a dash of Britpop.’ Nice. Check out here.
Gorgeous Swedish shoegaze/ synth pop of the very highest standard. Check out here.
