If you are unfamiliar with the Swedish-sung music scene, this song is a stomping cover of a modern classic by Veronica Maggio called ‘Jag Kommer’.

2015’s Random List
As has become tradition, here’s this year’s Random List. A collection of music highlights that have caught my attention in the last year. I spend the whole year featuring new and edgy stuff, so it’s nice to put up the last post of the year as a little fun. For previous years, head here.
Most Underrated Talent Of The Year
Kwabs has been a dilemma in 2015. He’s so good, so talented, and the songs are so on-point. But he’s still not tapping the mainstream the way he deserves to be. Maybe it’ll change in the next twelve months.
Most Random Act To Pick Up Recognition In Sweden
Just before the world was introduced to MNEK’s work with Zara Larsson (one of pop’s biggest successes in 2015 in my view), Sweden took an unexpected liking to MNEK’s ‘The Rhythm’ to the point where the track picked up Gold sales. Which is nice since it hardly made impact in the UK. And let’s face it, Sweden knows good pop.
Most Played On My iTunes
Dua Lipa. Emerging from the same team behind Lana Del Rey only less of the weirdness. This is a fresh slice of pop.
Best Pop Banger That No One Will Hear
Lucas Nord’s work is already well noted through this record with Tove Lo, but this track that was released in November took me by surprise. It’s just SO GOOD.
Hottest Fans At A Gig
HONNE are a staple on this blog. This year I managed to catch them live and not only was the gig sold out but it was packed with Abercrombie model look-a-likes. Fancy yourselves a hot boyfriend / girlfriend? Catch HONNE live…
Scandi Country Of The Year To Pull It’s Act Together
Norway. What with Aurora (and that John Lewis advert), Astrid S and Loveless all making impact this year in some shape or form, Norway’s shown that it’s the country to watch in 2016.
Biggest Turnaround Moment
Justin Bieber… Where did that come from? Seriously- everyone seems to be on Justin’s side this year with the release of ‘Purpose’ and the random pop gems that are contained within that record. Just goes to show that kid stars can make good as they grow.
Act Who Owned 2015
Years & Years, as predicted in last year’s Random List. More importantly though, these kids have shown that you can have a lead singer be out, gay and comfortable with himself and have no one care.
Act Who Will Own 2016
Jack Garratt. No one’s even pretending that Jack won’t take over the next twelve months. It’s great though; he’s showing off a new style of dark soul-pop that’s touching people in a way I wouldn’t have expected.
A new Tove Lo track!
This is just a demo taster for Tove’s 2016 releases.
Tove Lo’s won an award from the Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce…
She’s practically taking over the world anyway, so it’s no surprise to see Tove Lo pick up the Eliason Merit Award.
Tove Lo receives the EMA2015 for her persistent musical innovation that has put Sweden in the international spotlight and helped strengthen the relations between the United States and Sweden. With 1 billion streams world wide and mega hits like “Talking body” x2 platinum awarded and “Habits” x3 platinum awarded, #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and over 4 million copies sold, she has quickly become a rising star and one of Sweden’s most exported artists.
Previous winners include Steve Angello (DJ and former member of Swedish House Mafia), and three-time Academy Award winner, Pia Sundhage.
Tove Lo releases a new video. Goes viral in a day…
F***ing TOVE LO! She returns to UK shores next month to play a sold-out Shepherd’s Bush Empire date on the 12th of November.
