Swedish~ Stereo~

Sometimes in a search of new Swedish artists I just can't get the fact that band making 100% great stuff is not even signed yet. Choosing last season of Metro On Stage 2010 as the source of new music I often caught me on this thought. However if artist is really-really talented he will be found by audience and some interested publishers sooner or later.
I'd like to present you young but very promising band Royal Radio, this band has got to attention of big audience not so long ago. As many young artists guys put efforts participating in different competitions and performing live to get in touch with their audience. Their music has got first release year ago when guys took participance in Songbox competition Fan Crusade and their songs "On a Ride" and "Could I Should I" have appeared on final compilation. After that guys found contact with producer Nisse Westfelt (who worked as producer and drummer before with some big names like Markoolio, E.M.D., Marie Picasso, Ola, Elena Paparizou, Erik Segerstedt, Sanna Nielsen, etc.) and as the result of their work new song "Love Rescue Me" was born.
Every song of Royal Radio (that you can hear on their Myspace or Facebook page) is signed with brilliant melody and nice atmosphere amazingly connected with soft vocal of frontman Samuel Gajicki and "Love Rescue Me" is not exception, it's a beautiful well-produced pop-rock song with a smell of light sadness and warm feeling. Check the video for this song below.

Sweden always had amazing singers who started behind the names of some already famous projects and rocketed their solo-career after it so I'd like to present you one of such hopes and undoubtedly one of the most amazing voices of Sweden - Johanna Stedt, very beautiful and talented singer who started on back-vocals of well-known dance-projects like Günther and Carlito, her voice is very recognizable so if you're really into Swedish pop you know it well. In 2005 Johanna has started collaborating with Danish DJ Encore, they released single "You Can Walk On Water" and later in 2007 album "Unique" that turned to the great mix of soft trance and Scandinavian dance-pop - so if you'd like to listen what could make Ian Van Dahl, Da Buzz and Kate Ryan together you're gonna love this album! Check samples of this album here.

Next week Johanna participates in competition "Svensktoppen nästa 2010" - contest organized by radio P4 for new artists, Johanna together with Anderz Wrethov, Elin Wrethov and Martin Svensson have written incredibly beautiful and emotional ballad "Stormen" with Johanna's amazing vocals, great tune and folk-touch that is rare combination these days and makes song even more amazing. Johanna reached the final of the contest and June 16th she will fight for the victory with other finalists so let's cross our fingers for Johanna and this beautiful song!
