Swedish Music - New Music

Simon Emanuel / Niklas von Arnold- Visionär

If you can’t understand Swedish you won’t get this, but it’s a really good RnB track from Simon Emanuel that deserves a listen. Niklas von Arnold is behind one of my favourite tracks of 2012- give it a spin if you like (it’s in English!)

First Watch: Adam Tensta w. Duvchi ‘Raindrops’

Adam Tensta is somewhat of a Swedish hip hop authority, and I can safely say I’ve never heard a track like this before. Which is exciting.

Mash up

This track from Mash Up International featuring three new Swedish heavyweights: Gnucci, Vaz and Timbuktu, is ridiculous and genius in equal measures.

New Music: First Love, Last Rites

Track of the week. Swedish indie/ shoegaze which I can’t help but smile to when I hear. Check out here.

First Watch: Lune ‘Made of Steel’

New Swedish electropop from Lune. It sounds a bit gloomy. Then the chorus rings in and it’s nice again.

First Watch: Staygold ft Style Of Eye and Pow ‘Wallpaper’

One of the more quirkier tracks to come out of Sweden of late, this is the new video for Staygold’s ‘Wallpaper’ track.

New Music: Vinsten

New Swedish electropop duo. Check out here.

First Watch: Alina Devecerski ‘Jag svär’

This lady has become pop royalty in Scandinavia within a matter of months. This follow-up single isn’t as catchy as her debut, but still packs a punch.

Paaniq!

This is the new single from Swedish electro newcomers Paaniq, featuring Rhianna Kenny. There’s a video to accompany this as well but I won’t lie to you- it creeped me out.

First Listen: Icona Pop ‘We Got The World’

Another new electropop gem from those cheeky Swedes.

First Listen: Josefina Stanner ‘Clock Stands Still’

This might be the happiest bit of indie you might hear all week. It’s the new single from Swedish indie pop newcomer Josefina Sanner.

New Music: George Vector

Tuesday nights are always such a drag. So have some fresh new Swedish house from a chap called George Vector to cheer you up, with Deborah Cox doing vocals on a track that seems to be having a bit of a resurgence of late. Good stuff. Check out here.

First Listen: Frida Sundemo ‘Indigo’

Frida Sundemo is one of my favourite Scandinavian artists, period. And yet she’s still so new I don’t know anyone to share this love of her with. Anyway, it looks like things are finally picking up for this talented Swede as this new track sounds super polished and ready for global domination. About time.
