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.

Uplifting Swedish dance. Check out here.
New Music: The Concept
A Swedish band consisting of former band members for Robyn, Tove Styrke, MRTN and Veronica Maggio (all Swedish pop institutions). Check out here.
First Listen: Fibes Oh Fibes! ‘Cerahtonia’
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.
New Music: Coco
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.
New Music: Beatrice Eli
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.
First Listen: Miike Snow ‘Devils Work’
The Swedish supergroup are back with an epic track and it’s nothing short of flawless.
New Music: Peo De Pitte
Earlier this year, he topped the charts with the trouser-shaking subsonic wobble of ‘Burning Up’ (which enjoyed support from Bloody Beetroots, Plump DJ’s, Silvio Berlusconi and many more). Check out here.
Nights Like Bonita
Mix some Icona Pop with Madonna and you get this fresh sounding bit of naughty-but-nice pop.
New Music: Daniel Oliver
Swedish pop from an Icelandic hunk in the making. Check out here.
New Music: Mercedes and I
It feels like a lifetime since I blogged about any Swedish stuff- this is fantastic new dark pop from Mercedes and I. Check out here.
New Music: Rob & Nino
Free Download: The Knocks ‘Brightside (The Sound Of Arrows Remix)’
Everyone loves The Sound of Arrows. This Swedish electropop duo have been causing huge stir since dropping their debut album earlier this month. This is them putting their own magic touch to The Know’s ‘Brightside’, and as expected, it cheers you up to no end.
New Music: Dinner for Dinosaurs
Swedish pop/ funk that’s really easy to listen to and really easy to like. Check out their little bi-lingual video clip. The singer’s got a killer smooth voice. Check out here.
New Music: Urban Cone
Free Download: Erik Hassle ‘Hurtful (Zalza Chip Remix)’
I really like this remix by Zalza of Erik Hassle’s epic ‘Hurtful’. And best of all, you can enjoy it as much as you like as it’s a free download!
New Music: EJ
This lady has one massive voice. Swedish but based in London and just signed to Epic Records. There’s no links to her as yet- that’s how fresh this is. Just enjoy it til she’s on rotation on the radio in 2012.
Niva ‘Dirty Water’
Previously featured in February this year, this is the most outstanding track I’ve heard all week, and this makes me so happy. Check out here.
