Molly Sandén - Unchained / Mirage


New Molly Sandén's new double single has arrived, two tracks "Unchained" and "Mirage" from her latest album were chosen to give her album a further promotion.
"Unchained" was pretty logical choice from the very beginning, soft pop-track dancing with tears in a Robyn's drama way, not too clubby and not too tragical. "Mirage" brings out our ballad-Molly back growing slow while you expect it to turn into a schlagertastic dance but it doesn't happen. Instead it's marching till the end very beautifully and emotionally. And again it's very dramatical like the most of Molly's stuff but we love drama and we love Molly!

Allsång på Skansen: Loreen, Charlotte Perrelli, Kalle Moraeus, Norlie & KKV


When you start thinking Loreen can't surprise you with a new performance of "Euphoria" she enters the stage and shocks with her energy and THE VOICE! This time she has also made an absolutely epic performance with drums explored by her in a mini-tour she makes in Sweden right now.
We've already got Diggiloo-gang with Charlotte Perrelli, Jessica Andersson, Markoolio, Magnus Carlsson and The Moniker. Kalle Moraeus was making his "Underbart" and playing with Alexander Rybak.
Norlie & KKV were a nice live-discovery for me and Lasse Stefanz, well, not the stuff I usually writes about.

Lasse Stefanz - Hitmedley

Celia feat. Mohombi - Love 2 Party


After a pretty long pretty period of complete Mohombi's silence we get his second fresh collaboration right after a clubby collaboration with Craig David "Addicted" I was talking about yesterday.
But this time it's something pretty unexpected. Mohombi was working with Romanian artist Celia on a track "Love 2 Party" - dance-song clicking those buttons which make Romanian pop-music successful internationally lately, it's light, folky and even containing dubstep. Yes, I'm surprised too, Romanian pop can join dance, folk and dubsteb.
The song was produced by local musician Costi Ioniţă and you can watch a whole team on a photo above and don't forget to check the song!

Isa - What Are We / Bomb


While Sweden was choosing its new representative at Junior Eurovision month ago some participants of previous selection was already working hard on a solo-career outside of contests.
Young Isa Tengblad who tried last year with a song "Nära Dig" has prepared some pretty adult stuff to keep on breaking through.
In June she has released a single "Bomb" which represents Isa as a Swedish answer to Natalia Kills with it's dark adrenaline teen-riot pop.
Another song that will be released a bit later is "What Are We" - American radio-pop ballad in Jojo-style, very warm and qualitative.
Do we have a huge rising Swedish pop-star on the wait? We should wait and see but anyway it's gonna be an interesting trip.

Charlotte Perrelli and Youngblood in Liseberg


Lotta has no luck with weather this year, viewers again had to sit in raincoats so the artists had to bring the heat with their performances.
Today it was all about musicals. Lotta has arranged a mini-musical with participation of all artists. And except always fabulous Charlotte Perrelli and Youngblood singing songs from their latest albums we had a nice portion of ABBA with Göteborg's Opera singing Chess and Lotta making "Dancing Queen" karaoke.
