This little gem of a rock track is from Sweden and so much retro running through it, it’s hard not to be amused by. Check out here.
First Listen: Margaret Berger ‘Human Race’
The lady who did Norway proud at Eurovision this year is back with a new slice of electropop. It’s not as edgy as ‘I Feed You My Love‘, but it’s ok.
New Music: Scavenger Hunt
Californian electropop with a very Scandinavian influence. Check out here.
First Watch: Jagga ‘Out Of Control’
Jagga is one of those artists who makes a sound that really does demand your full attention. Such an epic track. Out tomorrow.
Sweden’s answer to N-Dubz?
N-Dubz were, until a little while ago, the flavour of many a British school kid. One by one, they’ve each turned into a hot mess. Anyway, I stumbled across this from Sweden’s Advance Patrol and it reminded me of them. I quite like this though. It’s fun. And they seem sweet.
First Listen: Laura Welsh ‘Undiscovered’
Loving this new cut from Laura Welsh. This girl does no wrong in my books. Out October 28th through Outsiders/Polydor.
New Music: goodbyemotel
So much potential with these guys. Big pop sounds. Check out here.
I don’t usually do this but can you all click up and get the new MKS comeback single?

Promising hip hop. I like these songs with positive vibes. Nice. Check out here.

A mix of indie, pop and rock. Check out here.
New Music: NTNT

New Music: Imaginary People
Psychedelic pop. Check out here.
New Music: Willis Earl Beal
I’ve known of Willis Earl Beal for a really long time, but never felt compelled enough to feature him. But as is the case so many times with me, I found this song to change my mind. Anyway, great voice. Check out here.
New Music: Black Taxi
Good indie-pop radio music from this New York band. I can see this being very popular. Check out here.
New Music: Lars And The Hands Of Light
First Watch: Top Less ‘Danger Love’
There’s something about this video from Top Less that makes me want to watch all the way to the end, and then again. I think it’s the strange choreography. Anyhow, cute all round.
