Seems like this year all Christmas releases will be out spontaneously and unexpectedly and here we get another example - new Jill Johnson's "Välkommen jul" released in collaboration with Childhood charity organization (last year it was Måns Zelmerlöw who has released his "Christmas With Friends" in the same collaboration). So you'll be able to find "Välkommen jul" only in ICA shops.
Album was recorded with Gävle symphony orchestra and due to presented sampler it's gonna be classic Christmas album with huge orchestral sound and Tommy Körberg with Stefan Sundström as featuring guests.

It can't go wrong when Icona Pop and pop icon meets in one amazing mashup.
Fresh electronic duo we constantly follow this year have shared their reworked single "Nights Like This" with instrumental of Madonna's classic hit "La Isla Bonita" and you can listen to it below and even download for free here. Big pop-joy, isn't it?

Pretty unexpected Christmas single from Mando Diao "Christmas Could Have Been Good" have become one of the most beautiful Christmas songs released in Sweden this year (and maybe not only this year).
Currently band prepares release of compilation "Greatest Hits Volume 1" collecting 22 best tracks of the first 10 years of group's existance ("Dance with Somebody", "Gloria", etc.) and it will be out in January. Compilation will also get Deluxe-version and DVD with 18 videos and film from Mando Diao's ”Ode To Ochrays”-tour, so band's fans will get loads of nice presents very soon.
"Christmas Could Have Been Good" is utterly pleasant mix of retro-atmosphere in an orchestral strings wrap and warm vibrating vocals, very peaceful and charming in a Christmas way.

Gravitonas has finally presented their newest single "Lucky Star" along with "One Day" from OST "Jag Saknar Dig" in Nyhetsmorgon today.
Guys are not fans of acoustic performances so both tracks were performed in its full studio arrangement. Enjoy!

Our blogging friend Johan has come up with an excellent 80s inspired remix of Martin Rolinski's debut single "Blame It On A Decent Matter" that he presents as a part of Les Adultes Bonbon team and we can't help but mentioning it here, you're gonna enjoy!

For those who can't wait to finally get new Martin's single "The Time Of Your Life" here you can check live performance of studio-version (I was mentioning acoustic one before) below. It's not of a great quality but still you can understand what we should expect from it and it turns to a pretty interesting synthpop ballad.
