This is one of those songs that makes you think you can take on the world and come out winning. Whether you end up succeeding is another matter, but this is done with two Swedish pop superpowers and is worth having on your iTunes.
Beautifully life-affirming music from a super talented Swedish newbie. So happy to have discovered this. Check out here.
I love Ansiktet, even though they bust their vibes in Swedish which can be a bit problematic at times. The video is a bit out there but the song’s pretty awesome.

Sounds American right? Well, it isn’t. It’s Swedish. His real name is Ted Mauritz Svensson and his sound moves swiftly round the edges of 70’s americana and Randy Newman-esque singer/songwriter moods. It’s big sounding and heartfelt. Check out here.
BBC announced today Swedish electro duo Niki & The Dove have come in 5th in the Sound of 2012. Impressive!
This has been around for a really long time in Sweden but I notice I’ve never mentioned it on here. Anyway, enjoy the last Friday of 2011!
This is so so so cute! It’s Niki and the Dove covering Nat King Cole’s ‘The Christmas Song’. Whatever you’re doing today, and whoever it’s with- whether you’re happy or sad, worried or relaxed… Merry Christmas.
One of my favourite exports from Sweden this year, Johan Reinhold, has released an exclusive remix of his viral hit ‘Shoot Me Down’ courtesy of UK producer Owsey. Looking forward to Johan’s ‘Rework’ EP out January 20th 2012! Listen to the original version of ‘Shoot Me Down’ here.
Uplifting Swedish dance. Check out here.
A Swedish band consisting of former band members for Robyn, Tove Styrke, MRTN and Veronica Maggio (all Swedish pop institutions). Check out here.
I’ve been waiting for these guys to come out with new music for what seems like a lifetime! Cute and quirky Swedish pop. What’s more exciting is their upcoming album is produced by Miike Snow‘s Pontus Winnberg. Check out here.
This lady used to be in a Swedish band called Love Generation who tried to get to this year’s Eurovision through RedOne (the chap that does Lady Gaga’s tracks). They didn’t manage it, and Coco decided to leave and launch her own career. This is the first single. Check out here.
This is quietly powerful pop that picks you up on the chorus and drops you back down again using some trademark Scandinavian beats. Love it. Check out here.
The Swedish supergroup are back with an epic track and it’s nothing short of flawless.
