“A lot of people don’t know about mental health. People lack knowledge and don’t understand that your mental health isn’t necessarily who you are. You can be depressed but that doesn’t mean you don’t want to go outside or you don’t have feelings. To me it’s not taboo at all to talk about mental health. Everyone has a mental health. I don’t see talking about sex as a taboo thing either.”
Norwegian quartet Pom Poko have released a song that feels both indie and totally bonkers at the same time, and I’m here for it!
Watch out for their second album, ‘Cheater’ which is out on the 6th November.
The Danish duo have created a song that is so beautifully crafted that you feel a connection regardless of what languages you understand.
A Norwegian talent with a seemingly timeless sound; one that feels fragile and emotive yet somehow still warms your heart.
An absolute queen and institution as far as Swedish pop is concerned, Agnes has created a comeback recently that has bravely flirted with a multitude of genres and styles.
Refreshingly so too, since it’s made each of her new roster of singles a pleasurably unpredictable surprise up until their release date.
The new single reflects some of her previous disco-pop heritage, while bringing the genre well into the future. A total delight and some of Sweden’s finest pop.
If you’re wondering what language this sublime piece of dream-pop is sung in, it’s Finnish. Finland itself has long been a hotbed of pop talent, but rarely do songs get the traction they deserve when they aren’t performed in English.
Somehow though I have a feeling that Illuusio could change that. Despite not understanding the lyrics, this song has such a powerful emotive flow that it’s easy to feel moved by what you hear.
“The Finnish lyrics tell a sweet story about the euphoric feeling of falling in love overnight, and the bitterness of a heartbreak.”
In a word- stunning. Literally, it’s impossible to explain how much I am in love with this dreamy release from 20-year old Danish talent Ida Laurberg.
Taken from the EP ‘Phase Five‘ which is out now.
A self empowering power-pop track with strong influences of 90’s RnB from a Norwegian talent who is already working on her rise to to the top, having already played the huge Oslo Spectrum, and performed on TV’s Beat for Beat.
Rasmus Viberg and Clifford Goilo collectively team up to form Saint Djuni, with a feel-good sound that has an essence of 90’s indie pop which is impossible not to cheer up to.
One of Denmark’s most exciting pop exports releases his new album ‘Unsolvable’ which you can listen to here.
Effortlessly cool indie from Norway; a sound that sets a mood and a vibe that feels instantly relatable.
Nothing to say other than this track will let your mind escape to a beautiful place for a short while.
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.
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.
This release from Jimi Somewhere shows a new take on indie pop, with a sound that’s both raw and rebellious, but still fun.
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.
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.
