Third wonderful summer show of Swedish TV comes back this week and it's a Sommarkrysset starting with Andreas Lundstedt singing his Melodifestivalen entry "Aldrig Aldrig", eurodance-veterans Haddaway, La Cream and Dr Bombay, Alina Devecerski with her big hit in Sweden "Flytta på dig" and Moa Lignell performing "When I Held Ya".

Last summer Man Meadow has presented their comeback single "Eaten Alive" which has become a cover of Diana Ross' old hit. New Man Meadow's single is another cover but for a track much fresher - Danish Eurovision fans favorite of this year, Ditte Marie's song "Overflow" written by Swedish team - Mike Eriksson, Johnny Sanchez, Hanif Sabzevari and unfortunately not qualifying to Baku.
New version of the song was produced by Soundfactory and though not a miles away from the original one but has become a bit dancier. So hopefully the track will get more attention in Sweden now.

Latest Swedish pop-sensation Icona Pop work on their international breakthrough and you can already find girls in US Dance iTunes chart at #30. Not bad for a newcomer?
Today girls have visited Nyhetsmorgon studio to also make a tv-promo in Sweden and have performed their latest hit "I Love It" and previous singles "Nights Like This" and "Manners" giving loads of energy and isn't it actually wonderful how their voices work together live? I love it!

Well, well, well! As I was telling yesterday new Annikafiore's EP with remixes "Recovered" has included her two solo-versions of Alcazar's track "Crying At the Discoteque" the band has got a worldwide fame with. Top-10 hit in Germany, Ireland, Italy, Belgium, Finland and Top-20 in UK, Spain, Austria, Australia, Netherlands and just a #29 in Swedish chart? Ok, Sweden has praised the band with loads of love later.
Back to Annikafiore, today you can pre-listen her versions from Antti and Giuseppe Piol Piol and buy them here. If the first has become more disco-house-sounding, the second has got a raggae relaxed atmosphere.
As a bonus I'd like to attach - video of the first Alcazar's line-up performing at the festival in Italy. Do you believe more than 10 years have passed?

We keep folowing fresh artist Lune that first we noticed in collaboration with Adrian Lux, then with a wonderful single "Let Go" and this year Lune has also released "Blood To Play" - rockier track that we've liked much less but we're happy to announce Lune is back to her electronic sound with a new single "Don't Be Sober (This Is Not A Lovesong)" which has already got a premiere on the radio and you can listen to it below skipping at 43.24.
"Don't Be Sober (This Is Not A Lovesong)" is a heavy synth-track with a nice pop-tune and very lyrical mood.
