Nothing to say other than this track will let your mind escape to a beautiful place for a short while.
Galimatias – Let Go

New Music: Simon Sode
Simon Sode is delivering some of Denmark’s most promising dance-pop of late. This track has layers textured with rich beats and a thumping bass which makes the sound perfect for the summer.
Anna Bergendahl – Thelma And Louise
Swedish country-pop icon Anna Bergendahl comes back today with a luxuriously crafted song that is almost impossible not to enjoy.
The track ponders on life and how we should experience it, to go and do things before it’s too late and we regret the missed chances.
Jimi Somewhere – Bottle Rocket
This release from Jimi Somewhere shows a new take on indie pop, with a sound that’s both raw and rebellious, but still fun.
SWAYDAY – Disconnecting
I’m finding Swedish boyband SWAYDAY’s recent tracks as a breath of fresh air. The music has an undeniably universal pop sound, and yet still feels uniquely individualistic.
Lead singer Arthur wrote the lyrics about a painful break up with someone he once loved on this song, and for that you may experience an essence of melancholy nestled within a playful melody here.
Watch: SHY Martin – Are You Happy?
In the midst of writing hits for the likes of Bebe Rexha, Astrid S, Kygo, Ellie Goulding, ALMA and Jess Glynne to name a few, SHY Martin still manages to release one stunning track after another. I really can’t get enough!
The sophomore EP ‘Sad Songs’ is out now.
Rosa Raye – On Paper
One of my favourite Danish RnB talents from 2020 returns today with another jam that is so deliciously infectious and relatable. The song reminds me a lot of 90’s RnB-pop, which was a period that brought about some of the finest cuts for the genre.
“Sometimes you meet someone great, but you’re in different places and going in different directions. You have to go with what feels right to you instead of what looks good to other people. Don’t settle for being part of someone else’s dream when you can follow your own.”
New Music: Sannah Sae
A polished and sleek piece of melodic electro pop which still feels emotive despite the Swedish lyrics!
SG Lewis – Impact (with Robyn & Channel Tres)
This song is the highlight of my year… Period! Three of my biggest dance-pop artists coming together like this gives me hope for the rest of this cursed year.
Alex Holtti + LOVA – Oblivion
A stunning collaboration between two of Scandinavia’s most promising exports in recent years.
Breazy Daze – Old Man
Icelandic indie-pop kid Breazy Daze releases a light-hearted new single today about growing up and figuring out what you want.
The song carries a dreamy sense of youthful naiveté which is so infectiously sweet and charming.
New Music: Ida Tosh
Swedish queer-pop with an emphasis on blending techno and electro elements into something quite unique and charming.
“This song is about the fuzzy feeling of falling in love, with somebody who isn’t a man.”
Sofia Vivere – What’s Best For Me
Since being featured last year, Sofia has gained a nomination from Scandinavia’s biggest music magazine GAFFA for ‘Breakthrough of the Year’, and it seems that’s just the beginning for this 20-year old Swede. ‘What’s Best For Me’ is a punchy slice of self-empowered pop that demands you to listen up and pay attention!
“This single is about being the boss over your own life, encouraging especially girls to do as they like.”
New Music: Ida Hansson
A Danish/ Swedish talent who has mastered the sound of alternative RnB, infused with subtle pop quirks, and balanced with an essence of raw emotion and authenticity. It’s a very interesting approach to the genre and the song itself is pretty mesmerising from the first moment you press play.
New Music: 20 Milk
LISS – Fool for You
Lee Bowie – Lucky Fool
Swedish outfit Lee Bowie are back today with a song that is frankly, as bonkers and eclectic as you would expect from pop.
The song is inspired by 90’s Finnish breakbeat, kids TV and upper-middle class kids doing speed at festivals. It’s a riot!
Buster Moe – Blackbird
A perfect fusion of dark pop and indie. The sound feels raw and emotive while still carrying a sense of hope.
“I think many of us have felt lonely these last months. I was completely locked away from the outside world for a month and it really got to me. I’ve always liked to be alone but only when its my own choice. I wrote the song as a way do deal with the quarantine and was just like damn i just wanna leave the house and do something. Wouldn’t it be awesome to just be that black bird and leave the city?”
Lido – Rise
Having already worked with the likes of Halsey, Chance The Rapper, Banks, Jaden Smith, JoJo and Skrillex to name a few, Lido has without doubt been one of Norway’s biggest music success stories of recent years (and a big Alfitude favourite).
Today sees his return with a release that carries his trademark style and presented in a space-themed visual which is a delight to experience.
Taken from the upcoming album ‘PEDER’.
New Music: SoLonely
An understated Swedish mix of RnB and hip hop. The sound has a soft sense of intensity, while still feeling airy and mellow.
