Swedish~ Stereo~

Andreas Moe who has already received his first big international success after becoming a vocalist of Avicii's "Fade Into Darkness" now gets into the spot for real. His collaboration with John de Sohn "Long Time" has already become a hit of digital sales and now they also unleash new video where Andreas gets a role of referee behind bloody kids fight. Too bloody if you ask me but you can check and judge yourself.

Ulrik Munther has become another Melodifestivalen finalist to present his song "Soldiers" in acoustic version, really nice black and blue record which is more music video than some ordinary fast live recording. Efforts of the team behind this guy deserve respect. And I wish the best of luck to Ulrik on Saturday.

Fourth track from Tove Styrke's debut album - "Bad Time For A Good Time" was chosen as the next single.
The song was already released on iTunes being updated with a rap-parts of new Swedish artist Gnucci Banana and it gets a video you can check below.
The song is one of my personal (multiple) favorites from this album but I'm still wondering if it was a right desicion to put rap into it. Though as female rap gets trendy these days this experiment was worth making.

One of the best and the most underestimated songs of this MF-season - "Förlåt Mig" performed by Mattias Andréasson was covered by vocalist of the band Snöblind we've put under the spot in 2011 - Jim Almgren.
Jim was initially discovered for Sweden on Idol-2005, then he has become a guitar player in well-known American rock-band Carolina Liar and now he works in Snöblind. You absolutely should check two pretty cool Shellback-produced singles they released not so long ago.
Jim's "Förlåt Mig" has logically got rockier-sound, not too heavy and not universe away from original but with a proper impression and nice guitar layer.

One week left before Melodifestivalen-2012 grand final and participants of this year present their songs on TV-shows, record promo-stuff for web and doing all the rest to get more attention bonuses in this really short period.
Below you can watch performances of Molly Sandén visiting Nyhetsmorgon with "Why Am I Crying?", "Spread A Little Light" and Whitney's "I Have Nothing" (and two first ones in XL Live), Danny Saucedo and Lisa Miskovsky with acoustic versions of their songs and Sean Banan performing his schlager-entry in Nyhetsmorgon.
Tonight Sweden will decide who will be the last two finalists of this year. You can watch rehearsals of Andra Chansen on SVT site (just scroll down a bit).
