Watch: Beatrice Eli ‘Girls’
One of my favourite Swedish solo girls, Beatrice Eli is as gutsy as can be. This new single is risqué but so much fun.

Watch: Ace Wilder ‘Busy Doin’ Nothin’
So few have songs caused a stir at the Swedish Eurovision heats as much as Ace Wilder’s entry, ‘Busy Doin Nothin’. Too current for Eurovision? Sweden doesn’t think so – it came second after losing to a standard ballad by just two points.
Listen: Beldina ‘Higher’
Much as I’ve been a fan of Beldina, I’ve been waiting for her to release a track like this, just because her voice can really pull of big beats like this. Definitely a good sound for her!
The most exciting piece of Swedish hip hop right now…
… Well, exciting for me. Indie pop kid Daniel Adams-Ray enlists some Swedish hip hop heavyweights (Adam Tensta, Dida, Eboi & DJ Akilles) to play with his new single and it’s very good.
Listen: Thomas Stenström ‘Fåglar’ (with Frida Sundemo)
Seeing as I’m in Sweden, this is a beautifully delicate piece of music from Thomas Stenström and Alfitude favourite, Frida Sundemo.
