“I guess I’m longing for a more simple life. But the city and my life here in Copenhagen is like a drug. It’s really hard to let go off.”
Watch: Goss – Country Boy
Tag: Danish Music
Clara – Growing Up Sucks
Alexia Chambi – Second Date
“Second Date is written on the beach in Tenerife. It’s a ‘fun’ & honest song about struggling with intimacy issues & being vulnerable emotionally but put across in an uplifting way”
Emil Kruse – Stjerner
New Music: Katlah
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.”
Watch: Molina – Hey Kids (Live Session)
New Music: Her Songs
A collaborative project featuring a group of ladies who are solo stars in their own right, coming from the US, UK, Denmark and New Zealand. And when you listen to this track you can feel their real love of soul coming through, and it’s the most magical vibe.
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.
mp.oxford – hide your love
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.”
Fjer – First Place
Maximillian – Still Alive
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.”
Ea Kaya – Kitchen Table
One of Denmark’s pop darlings returns with a new single, and one which Billboard has included as one of the “20 Great Songs To Discover While You’re Quarantined”.
Favor – Crush (Album)
While enjoying a speedy rise on the Danish music scene, Favor received news in Summer 2019 that he was experiencing loss of hearing and tinnitus, which in turn triggered panic – as it would with anyone.
“For me, creating music is a way of life and if I cannot, well who am I then? I was really scared it would get worse. Because what would happen if it did? I talked to my producer Morten Søgaard (Masasolo) about and he just asked the right questions. Which songs would you wish you had written? Who would you have written them for? What would they be about? That became a turning point for me.”
Nonetheless, Favor continues to delight us with his unique take on retro-pop.
Debut album ‘CRUSH’ is released today.
Emil Kruse – La Det Gå
Hip hop that’s entirely in Danish but don’t let that scare you away from giving it a listen – it’s a very interesting production that mixes beats with a retro, soulful vibe.
Jada – Nudes
New Music: Magnus Tempels
There really has been no other song this week which has exuded as much intensity, beauty and drama as this release from Danish newcomer Magnus Tempels.
“Let Go is a homage to the synergy two people can create together and with each other. Let Go is also an acknowledgement of the darkness consuming both people in defining this twosome.”
Elliot – Drown
“Most of my songs come from a sort of dystopian place inside of my head and often written to escape that exact place and give comfort. ‘Drown’ wasn’t written to comfort myself but a dear friend of mine who was going through really hard times of sorrow.”
New Music: Amalie Bryde
A genre-bending fusion of soul, pop and jazzy tones. Just the most refreshing sound to enjoy today.
“The song is about the discomfort of being in love with someone who broke things off but still wants you in their life.”
New Music: Ayoe Angelica
A polished release from this promising new Danish/ Ethiopan soul talent.
“Though ‘Stupid’ sounds like bittersweet a love song, it is actually not based on a traditional love affair but on these mixed feelings I often get as an artist. Writing pop music and performing can at times feels purposeless and I sometimes get insecure and feel like quitting all of it to start looking a ‘proper’ job. Others days I feel like music is actually living inside of me, that singing is the only way I can ever express myself.”
SULKA, Tue Track, Khal Allan – Usagt
A really interesting mix of Danish hip hop and dreamy indie, underlined with a tone of rawness.
