Hedda Mae – Too Good to Be True

https://open.spotify.com/track/3OyZKa179QJOYUv28zov0Q

Playful Norwegian bubblegum pop with one clear intent… To make you as humanly happy as possible. There’s also 90’s RnB and soul inspirations to this sound which just adds to the joy.

“The lyrics came from the vibe of the song – and the song became as joyful in the lyrics. Whilst ‘Pride…’ is basically a rant about what you dislike, ‘Too Good…’ is the opposite. It’s about how you embrace everything you like about another person. The whole production and the top-line came very naturally, it’s like the song was already there, and all we did was bring it into the light.”

Nause – Be Right Back (feat. WILHELM)

With over 300 million streams globally, today sees the return of Stockholm producer Nause with a track that blends EDM and pop in a way that only the Swedes seem to be able to perfect so well. Perfect music for the weekend!

“I’m really superproud of this tune, we spent a lot of time on in the studio to perfect it and now I feel like it´s exactly as I wanted it to be.”

New Music: Katlah

https://soundcloud.com/katlah/spell

An eclectic and experimental Danish electro pop sound with hints of RnB.

“Spell” is about being extremely attracted to another person because of how forbidden the attraction is. I had an Indian snake charmer on my mind when I was working on the theme of the song. Sonically it perfectly illustrated the seductive mood that I had in mind. So, the forbidden attraction is strong on both sides, – I am held captive by my feelings towards this person, but at the same time the person is being seduced by my kattelicious powers.”

Adeena x Taphia – I Ain’t Like That

Adeena consistently delights me with her style of polished Scandi dance pop, and this release is no different.

”I Ain’t Like That is a song written from a state beyond our insecurities. It invites you to feel good about yourself and to embrace your own force instead of meeting other people needs. It’s a tune for you to dance into spring and feel yourself completely.’’

New Music: Her Songs

Watch: Brother Leo – Hallelujah

Brother Leo’s latest release now comes with visuals directed by Sashinski and was filmed in England’s Southend, shortly before lockdown began.

“Me and Sasha wanted to create a dark and restrained visual for Hallelujah, that in a symbolic way expressed the struggle in trying to make peace with the painful fact that certain things just can’t be fixed, no matter how hard you try.”

New Music: In Memoirs

While already crafting a name for himself in native Denmark, this is a talent that is well worth sharing with the rest of the world. A blend of pop and soft indie tones create a sound that is both easy to enjoy while also carries a deeper sense emotion.

Taken from the sophomore album ‘Hope, Fear & Fashion’ which is out soon.

AMWIN – Where Do Lonely Feelings Go?

“Where do feelings go when they don’t belong? When they’re not invited or when they are left out? When you push them away? I guess I’m still looking for the answer, but I don’t think you get rid of emotions just by trying not to feel them and I hope I haven’t ever made my feelings feel lonely by not recognising them. I guess this is a song to all the feelings that ever felt left out and made us feel left without within. Where do lonely feelings go?”

Aron Blom – Water

Coming from the same incredible Swedish label behind Molly Hammar and Frida Sundemo, songwriter Aron Blom returns today with his third solo release, ‘Water’.

It’s a song with a theme common to most of us, being that awkward time in a relationship when two people start to realise each other’s flaws. Delivered with a subtle sense of intensity and anxiety, this is Swedish power-pop at it’s finest.

“I’ve heard that there’s a second wind to every relationship, about a year and a half into it, when the infatuation settles and we start to see each other in all our flaws and imperfections.  It’s about assessing the situation and, by doing that, then understanding that we’ve truly and madly fallen for the other person. Most of us did just fine before that other person ambled into our lives. But still somehow every atom in our body suddenly craves that other person to the point of it becoming an absolute necessity. To the point of it becoming water.”
