New Music: Ida Tosh

Swedish queer-pop with an emphasis on blending techno and electro elements into something quite unique and charming.

“This song is about the fuzzy feeling of falling in love, with somebody who isn’t a man.”

Sofia Vivere – What’s Best For Me

Since being featured last year, Sofia has gained a nomination from Scandinavia’s biggest music magazine GAFFA for ‘Breakthrough of the Year’, and it seems that’s just the beginning for this 20-year old Swede. ‘What’s Best For Me’ is a punchy slice of self-empowered pop that demands you to listen up and pay attention!

“This single is about being the boss over your own life, encouraging especially girls to do as they like.”

New Music: Ida Hansson

A Danish/ Swedish talent who has mastered the sound of alternative RnB, infused with subtle pop quirks, and balanced with an essence of raw emotion and authenticity. It’s a very interesting approach to the genre and the song itself is pretty mesmerising from the first moment you press play.

Buster Moe – Blackbird

A perfect fusion of dark pop and indie. The sound feels raw and emotive while still carrying a sense of hope.

“I think many of us have felt lonely these last months. I was completely locked away from the outside world for a month and it really got to me. I’ve always liked to be alone but only when its my own choice. I wrote the song as a way do deal with the quarantine and was just like damn i just wanna leave the house and do something. Wouldn’t it be awesome to just be that black bird and leave the city?”

Atlas Knox – Honeypot

Atlas Knox are a mysterious producing and writing outfit who have worked on hits with Stormzy, Not3s, Chaka Khan, Jax Jones, Duke Dumont and Florence and The Machine to name a few.

We won’t know who they really are, since their focus is on the music. And it’s great; this collaboration with Swedish starlet Lune is a fantastic pop release.

“We want to be unencumbered by fame, class, race, age, gender, and outside influence. We seek to not just exist, but to optimistically, economically, and sustainably, produce more love than we consume.”

New Music: ruus

Some songs you press play to, and immediately know that you’ll love. This is one of those moments. Swedish talent ruus is a singer songwriter who works closely with producer DIMD to create an eclectic and alternative edge to pop.

“Sometimes you hang out with people you don’t necessarily like, but because you don’t want to create a bad mood in the group, you smile and are polite. But sometimes you have to wake up and change the situation to feel good about yourself. Stop pretending some days.”

Anthony Dircson x ISA – Know Me Better

Some of the catchiest EDM pop you’ll likely hear this week, courtesy of the 21-year old Dutch DJ & producer Anthony Dircson, and vocals from Swedish mega talent ISA.

“‘Know Me Better’ is about after a break up when your ex still is keeping you on a leash, letting you close when they feel like it, and abandoning you the other day. You’ve come to a point where it doesn’t matter what lies this person throws at you. You know you deserve better and that you’ll be fine on your own.”

New Music: Maja Kristina

Another week, and another trademark, flawlessly produced piece of Scandinavian pop.

Sweden-born singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Maja Kristina has already amassed nearly 10 million streams to date with a sound that feels both powerful and emotive while still encapsulating a sense of youth.

“My music is meant to tell a story. It’s almost as if you’re having a conversation with a close friend. Everything I write is like that – no matter if it’s about heartbreak, jealously, love, or anything. I write in the same way I talk. I’m discussing the smallest things in life that you’d only discuss with the people closest to you.”

The Endorphins – Home (feat. Amaya)

Swedish RnB continues to thrive, in part, thanks to The Endorphins with their consistent ability to create premium cuts like this one ‘Home’.

“Our music is all about inducing endorphins. It’s about love, friendship, clubs, parties, and sex. We wanna bring good vibes, with a touch of future RnB. The vibe of our songs is influenced by the good vibes that were floating around NYC in the 70’s – that escape from reality that the disco era was built upon.”
