Swedish~ Stereo~

One of the biggest Swedish music radio-awards P3 Guld 2013 was held yesterday constantly including some original performances of popular artists.
This year Linnea Henriksson has become the artist of the year and Icona Pop have made a song of the year "I Love It", Norlie & KKV have become newcomers of the year (you can check full list here) and all of them presented their hits live (Norlie & KKV were in with the new single). Loreen and Alina Devecerski as big breakthroughs of 2012 have already given quite atmospheric nice performance so you shouldn't miss them!

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.

Eric Saade doesn't tour this summer in Sweden but stil he couldn't miss a chance to visit one of the biggest TV-shows - Sommarkrysset with Tone Damli to perform their single "Imagine" and ballad version of "Hotter Than Fire". Just like Allsång på Skansen Sommarrysset was celebrating Stockholm Pride inviting Diamond Dogs with another funny parody for Malena Ernman, Sarah Dawn Finer and Linda Bengtzing. Norlie & KKV have made a big buzz among girls in the audience.
We've also got Louise Hoffsten (with Jessica Marberger as a backing vocalist) and Eric Gadd among performers.

Aleks och Eric Gadd - De säger
Louise Hoffsten - Looking for mr God

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.

Lazee just doesn't stop to provide new great collaborations these days and we get another one with fresh project Norlie & KKV.
Sonny Fahlberg (Norlie) and Kim Vadenhag (KKV) are two young Stockholm lads who met in gymnasium around year ago and decided to start new common project catching inspiration from completely different music styles mixing pop, rap, house, electro, rok, etc. in their own music. Project turned to be much more successful than anyone could expect and guys already have managed to perform with such respectable artists like Hoffmaestro & Chraa, Maskinen, Afasi & Filthy, Far & Son and J-Son. Right now they're working on the first album with producers Daniel Gidlund, Tore Jarlo, Camilo Britos and Brazilian Lorenzo Anzzur and releasing their debut single with support of Lazee.
"Can I Be The One" is very well-produced dynamic track based on rap-verses, high quality electro-sound and totally stunning dancefloor killers-refrains. Enjoy it below!

New video for the last Top-10 Lazee's single "Do It" is out.
Lazee has not long yet but quite succesful career in Sweden. He debuted 2 years ago with single "Rock Away" becoming big hit during Spring 2008 and later released another also noticed by audience single "Hold On" featuring popular rock-band Neverstore and the album "Setting Standards" same year. Together with Danny they also released single "Just Like That" in Poland. After a short pause Lazee came back this year with another hit "Calling Out" with rock-vocals in a style of "Hold On" but this time featuring Apollo Drive, that one and new song "Do It" both also became Top-10 hits and right now another successfuly promoted single "Can I Be The One" with his participation is released by Norlie & KKV.
About Mohombi - first highlight of his career was qualifying to Melodifestivalen-2005 as part of Group Avalon with the song "Big up" and after that he was working with many songwriting teams - Bloodshy & Avant, Twin, Jonas Jeberg, RedOne and others.
"Do It" is very nice catchy summer hit working well with proper music video rolling around parties, pools, cars and girls in bikini so relax and have some summer fun with Lazee and Mohambi.
