Swedish~ Stereo~

Here comes the big tasty piece of Swedish club-music from Charlie Vallely and TERRI B.
Brand new single "You Are Not Alone" feels pretty Avicii-influenced which promises to be a trend of this season when in 2010-2011 it was more about Swedish House Mafia in local club-music. The track is very well produced example of this genre containing worthy vocal line and big ambitions to big one of this summer hits.

21-year-old Miriam Bryant was born in UK but raised in Sweden what has given us a wonderful reason to write about fresh music from this interesting new musician.
Miriam is a fresh face in Swedish music but she was working on her debut single "Finders, Keepers" with Victor Rådström who stands behind Thomas Stenström's recent release "Detsamma" (Thomas is new Roxy Recordings indie-artist if you've missed him).
"Finders, Keepers" a big dramatic song from "Rolling In The Deep" family, something that requires a huge vocal attitude and Miriam has it, epic growth of tune gives a slight feeling of Adele/Clare Maguire stuff which is definitely a good compliment to a young singer who is already getting to the spot and can become a worthy follower of Amanda Mair's path this year.

In the beginning of 2011 Denise "DeDe" Lopez has come up with a wonderful dance-project Swedish Angels she has started with Jennifer "another Jennifer Lopez" Lopez, Niklas Pettersson helped girls with the debut single "Swedish Angel" and after that the project has taken a releasing break. DeDe has become a mom to a little Marlon but she is back to club-star career now.
Brand new single "Your World Is Mine" is another dance-track (also co-written by Niklas Pettersson) but going in a pretty different direction, when debut single followed Swedish club-trend 2011 "Your World Is Mine" feels much poppier. This is Swedish dance-pop in its best with definite references to previous Niklas' works - Dilba's "Try Again" and some Daisy's stuff. Below you can check part of this track which is enough to realize what full version is about and to fall for it completely.

Swedish The Voice show finishing with the victory of (our Idol-favorite) Linda Varg's boyfriend Ulf Nilsson has started to give some promising results. Participated artists start presenting their new post-show releases and the first one is Helena Gutarra.
Previously Helena was the vocalist of LaPuma - rock-band we were following but also expecting release that will catch us for real and looks like it is here.
Helena has written a new song "Tongues Of Fire" with LaPuma's guitar player Torbjörn Gjers and it sounds like a modern "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" in Robynesque heavy electropop production and utterly expressive vocal with hit-breathing choruses. Really special combination with a big potential.

Some bad news for those who have got to watch daily live performances in TV4's Nyhetsmorgon, management has decided to get rid off them during working days and invite artists only at weekends. Still we have loads of TV-shows to get some music goodies from.
For example Sanna Nielsen has become a guest of Bingolotto performing very nice cover of Neil Young's "Heart Of Gold" with a string orchestra behind. Ulrik Munther was another guest singing his MF-entry "Soldiers".
