First Watch: Ola ‘Jackie Kennedy’

Ola Singer

Swedish pop star Ola’s gotten all big over in Italy lately, and this new single has a very camp Italo-disco beat around it. And the whistling won’t escape your head for a good few hours… 

Live: Cajsa Siik at The Tavern Lock London

cajsa siik live london october 2013

I had two events to hit last night, so I couldn’t stay as long as I wanted to watch a whole list of talented Swedish singers perform as part of a Birds Will Sing For You showcase but the couple of songs I managed to watch Cajsa Siik were beautiful.

Others on the night were Ms. Henrik and The Fiery Piano.

New Music: Kalle Gracias

KALLE GRACIAS

So I was in Stockholm over the weekend. It wasn’t as eventful as usual, but then that was a little bit intentional. I didn’t get to immerse myself too much in music this time, but this caught my attention. It’s Swedish hip hop (I’m feeling very hip hop this month), and it’s pretty good. Check out here.

Two songs, two artists, sharing the same video… Those Swedes!

It’s the same music video, but performed with a different song on each clip. Both from emerging Swedish newcomers, Ms. Henrik and H.M. Hammarin. Is it just me or is Gothenburg rapidly become a Swedish hipster hub? Kinda cool…
