”’Talking To The Moon’ is about all your inner demons that you’re always struggle with. In our case it’s about not feeling comfortable with opening up fully to a real person, so you turn to the moon (like a metaphor of talking to nothingness) and that you never get an answer.”
Entirely sung in Finnish and yet this is just too great not to share with you. It’s a mix of bubblegum pop and a very hard electro sound.
Another showstopper from Swedish pop-RnB powerhouse, Molly Hammar.
“I think everyone struggles with loneliness. Sometimes you love it, sometimes you hate it. ‘‘Alone’ is about someone trying to escape loneliness and hurting people along the way. If this song can become a wake-up call for someone to deal with their emotional life better, or if someone can find comfort in gaining some perspective in themselves I have achieved my goal with “Alone”.
“’Hallelujah’ is about broken illusions in a broken world. It’s that moment of realisation when you know you have to make peace with something that just can’t be fixed. I wouldn’t call myself religious, but this song came out almost like a prayer. It was a cry for help in a hopeless situation. In the end religion didn’t save me, but neither did the shrink or the pills that he gave me. This song gave me an escape and some kind of piece. Like so many times before, music was the answer.”
A fresh face from Sweden, fusing indie with some beautiful soul… In a very masterful way.
“I let myself be personal. It’s about this person I was beginning a relationship with, my first impression of her and what our relationship might become.”
A song about being the bad guy…
“This this song is pretty much me reflecting on how small I’ve made someone else feel. Even though I never meant be a dick, I was.”
The Danish RnB kid returns with a short, but beautifully crafted release.
“It’s a story about neglecting love. Love for which you would do anything not to let it slip away.”
The Swedish rockers return with another big release that’s set to get your blood pumping!
“We wrote ‘Low Road’ about being your own worst enemy. About running from your own demons only to realise that you can’t, because the problem is inside of yourself. ‘Low Road’ is maybe one of the heaviest songs we’ve ever written, filled with the brutalness of the human mind, that can be both vicious and lost.”
“I was never good at talking about my feelings so I wrote them down instead. When I felt sad, me and my mum wrote letters to each other about it. So expressing myself through songs came pretty naturally for me.”
Exciting new music talent from this 3-piece Stockholm group. An infectious and nicely written piece of indie pop.
“We live in success, we strive and we chase success. At the beginning of the process we wrote the song more as a joke. We were talking about how success is controlling everyones life today and we started to recognise ourself in the message of the song. It resulted in an ironic song with a relatable topic.”
Another playful release from the Norwegian nineteen year-old talent who’s not afraid to put some quirkiness into indie. Debut EP, ‘Tech’, comes out on April 21st.
Taken from the new EP, ‘Still Alive’.
”Growing up I started hanging out with the wrong people and I’ve seen myself standing at many crossroads in my life. Both in my teens and later also in relationships. I wrote these new songs about both and in a process of finding out who I used to be, who I am today and who I’m going to be.”
Admittedly this isn’t something I usually feature on the site but it’s such a pop banger that I had to share it with you. Specially in these grim times, a bop like this could lift the spirits a little.
The song features KEiiNO – who placed first with the public vote at Eurovision 2019 with ‘Spirit In The Sky’ while Electric Fields are an ARIA-nominated outfit who merge Aboriginal culture with electro sounds.
