Time for new heroes of Rockbjörnen awards have come. Aftonbladet's readers were nominating candidates and now you can vote for the one of top entries here.
Loreen logically have got three nominations (Best female, Best song and Best concert), Eric is still hotter than fire with Best male, Best song and Best concert. Dead By April, Panetoz, Moa Lignell, Alina Devercerski, Sabaton and Takida were included in two nominations. Really great to see Melodifestivalen finalists Molly Sandén and Ulrik Munther in Best male and Best female.
The concert will take a place on August 29th in Gröna Lund and you'll be able to watch it on Aftonbladet site.

We don't use to write about this sort of acoustic pop-stuff a lot but I feel like we ignored this singer too long so it's time to tell you about her.
Melissa Horn is relatively new Swedish artist who has come to the spotlight just a few years ago but has managed to make Sweden fall in love with her calm lovely guitar pop and to give Top-10 to both of her albums. Latest one has got a golden status and was nominated to Grammis.
Third Melissa's album will be out in September and new single "Under Löven" which is already in the top of iTunes chart promises a lot for a new stage of young artist's career. "Under Löven" is quite Sonja Aldén-breathing track, just a bit more melancholic and lacking high notes but we really get this song's charm and recommend it to you as well.
