Swedish~ Stereo~

Michaela de la Cour doesn't need special presentation being one of Swedish music legends. Sure you know this blonde Army Of Lovers pop-queen breathing glamour and extravagance. After a long silence Michaela has started her comeback in 2009 with brand new pop-rock track "Back on Earth", self-ironic and sexual video and absolutely amazing mix from Adam Rickfors. How pleasant it was to get recently another new track from Michaela and this time it's amazing club track with filtered robo-vocals (in a manner of "Back on Earth") in electro-sound verses and refrain turning to a huge club-delight anthem. You can check sample of this track on Michaela's myspace as well.
UPD: In 2 days we've got the title "HomoSapien", full version of the song and the video and it's not less lovely in a full pack!

Talking about other Army of Lovers news. New project of Alexander Bard - Gravitonas announced few days ago that its first album is scheduled for September but already on August 18 we'll get "The Hypnosis EP" containing four tracks and new maxi-single "Religious" on August 25. Hope another new track "Shameless" I've been talking about little earlier will also be on this EP.

Isn't it fantastic when one amazing artist's becoming vocalist of another amazing project?
Jonna Sailon and All Ends have become well-known for a wide audience approximately at the same time (2007-2008). Actually Jonna appeared first time on tv-show Fame Factory with such future stars like Linda Bengtzing, Cam Tyler, Sandra Oxenryd and Alexander Schöld, few years after the show she's started working with Harry Sommerdahl (Rasmus, Robyn, Lambretta, Ace of Base) and released great pop-rock-single "Sacred" in Spring 2008 which entered Top-30 of Swedish chart and unfortunately there was no a lot of information about her since that.
Alternative rock-band All Ends was formed in 2003 but it also took some time before they've made a hit in Sweden. In 2007 they released EP "Wasting Life" and the album "All Ends" the same year, "Wasting Life" became a hit entering Top-10 of Swedish single-chart, album reached only #40 but turned to be a really worthy debut with powerful sound, great hit-melodies (Still Believe, Pretty Words, Walk Away) and solid vocal performance.
This year one of female vocalists Emma Gelotte has left band and Jonna Sailon was chosen as replacement for Emma, band has signed deal with label Nuclear Blast and plans to release new album "A Road to Depression" very soon.

Viridiflora (green rose) is pseudonim of Jessica Johansson - ex-vocalist of rock-band Convinced and currently indie-artist playing gentle melodic mix of soft electronic and pop-rock music. Jessica has left her work in band in the beginning of 00s and since that was experimenting on her own direction working very closed and finally letting her music out this year with debut single "High On You" that clearly pointed her style of melancholic electro-pop music with guitar sound, memorable tunes and beautiful vocal little similar to Titiyo's and Kosheen's Sian Evans' manner. Viridiflora started to work on promotion of her stuff inside of Sweden and in UK and right now she's releasing another single "Salute" - more synth-sounding and Kosheen-smelling work that already was noticed in iTunes chart. I'd like to also recommend you another beautiful petal of Viridiflora "I Bleed You Out" on her myspace, that is on the other hand shows her pop-rock-side in Dido-relaxing mood.

Finaly we've got ability to see future Swedish international pop-stars Love Generation closer in their debut video for the first single and what we get is expectedly absolutely loveable and showing these hot Swedish girls as very interesting and charming persons with quite unique personalities. Very qualitative video totally ready to promote project on international level making us wait for future promised album this year even more.

Aftonbladet opens voting for so-called summer plagues - infectious summer-hits that you're gonna listen on all the corners around the season and finally will be hating closer to September. Besides some world hits from Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Shakira, Lena, Yolanda Be Cool and Stromae in list you can also find new Swedish releases from Robyn, Oskar Linnros, Agnes and even not published yet single of Kissie - famous blogger who's trying solo-career now. You can also see 2 Internet phenomemons - Sean Banan's "Skaka Rumpa" and Dj Mangoo ft Deadline's "Fanta & Rosé" - newcomers with simple and funny tunes who's got Sweden with the storm last month (I would also recommend another joyfull club-track from Dj Mangoo - "I'm Back").
