Watch - New Music

First Watch: Adam Tensta ‘Lights At Bay’

One of the coolest Swedes around, rapper Adam Tensta’s done a collaboration with David Sandström of Refused. It’s sinister and so good.

Kicking Monday blues up the butt

I had a very cute weekend in Copenhagen and so I haven’t been checking my mail and so on, so it might be a slow start to the week but I’ll get there! But let’s start the week with this gem of a track from Duke Dumont and A*M*E, I featured it a while back but here’s the video.

First Watch: Loreen ‘Heal’

And shortly after debuting her new track with Kleerup, Loreen’s released her new video clip for ‘Heal’. It’s hot.

First Watch: Azekel ‘That Feeling’

I’m a sucker for Azekel’s subdued RnB sound.

First Watch: Josephine ‘Portrait’

That Northern chanteuse Josephine is back with a lovely new single and video. It’s out on the 25th February.

First Watch: Lune ‘Girls With Bangs’

Lune continues to impress with her trademark dark Scandi electropop sound.

First Watch: Hurricane Love ‘Only Human’

I’m starting the week with the new video to one of the nicest sounding Swedish pop bands that have emerged from last year, Hurricane Love. It’s cute and rocky in equal measures.

First Watch: LCMDF ‘Paranoia’

This will stick in your head all afternoon. New one from quirky Finnish duo LCMDF.

First Watch: Beatrice Eli ‘It’s Over’

One of my favourite Swedes from 2011, Beatrice Eli is finally releasing her debut EP on March 24th. It’s pop with a dark punch, cut in a way that only the Swedes seem to do so well.

First Watch: Tyler, The Creator ‘Domo 23’

New visuals from upcoming album ‘Wolf’, out April 1st.

First Watch: Loveskills ‘Flash in the Dark’

I love this new track and video from Loveskills. It’s nice to hear a blend of different sounds fused together with so much thought.

First Watch: Frankmusik ‘Map’

I’ve been a properly devoted fan of Frankmusik’s for so many years. I was a bit heartbroken to see him dropped from his major label, but you can’t keep a pop prince like Vincent Frank down. Quote:

“I’ve got no money, no deal, no career plan. I’ve got nothing but my talent, my fans and the music I want to make. And do you know what? It’s fucking exciting.”

The Far From Over EP is out from today for free on his site, but do donate a little to Oxfam while you’re at it.
