Swedish~ Stereo~

Though we worried about debut Ulrik Munther's album that we still consider one of this year best pop-records as initially singles weren't making grand sales boy has done it - album has debuted at #1 of Swedish album chart and rising army of Ulrik's fans has got a nice long-awaited present.
Ulrik is going to release another single "Kill For Lies" from the album and here we get another music video (just for a part of the song but still welcome).

One of our favorite bands' vocalist Samuel Gajicki has come up with pretty creative basically acoustic version of this year's Swedish House Mafia world hit "Save The World".
We already used to say that we're in love with Samuel's mild vocal perfectly fitting acoustic tracks so this time we've got a perfect pack - cover starting with minimalistic instrumental part blossoming in the end with epic drums and delicious goosebumps giving guitar solo.
Samuel has recorded cover with Royal Radio collegue Kim Simonsbacka and together with Philippe Métairie and David Guvå they've shot nice video.

Martin Rolinski has arrived to studio of Nyhetsmorgon today to premiere his new song "The Time Of Your Life" along with debut "Blame It On A Decent Matter" with The Pusher guys behind instruments.
New track is in contrast to heavily BWOesque previous single is melodic, dreamy and relaxed ballad you can't directly compare with some other Martin's ballad stuff. It's hard to catch how this song will sound in studio version but however it's great to know things keeps rolling in Rolinski's artistic universe.
Martin has got new site and already deliver some fun for fans - competition for a chance to participate in his new video.

Melodifestivalen race for the song from unsigned fresh artist is back.
This year channel has chosen 32 songs (you can find full contest list here and first semifinal entries here) and presents them by 8 every week, audience will choose their winner-finalist and SVT will also select another one.
First bunch of songs has shown that SVT has chosen quite qualitative and pretty different by genres entries like it had to be. Though from the first listen we can't say we're so in love with any like we did with "Don't Stop" or Fredrik och Magnus entries. We have The Poodles/H.e.a.t. 80ies rock "All Day All Night", Sonya Alden/Shirley Clamp schlager-ballad "I mina drömmar", electro-pop dancey "How About You?", pop-rock "Set Me Free", atmospheric acoustic pop "Your Majesty", slightly r'n'b/jazz-breathing pop-ballad "Wish You Luck" but the one we've fallen for real is Greek Eurovision-feeling "Catch Me" from Maria Klemetrud (upgrade it a bit in studio and it would be everything Helena Paparizou would need to bring eurofans interest back) and another song winning us slowly is light singer/songwriter track "Seven Years" from Flying Kite - utterly pleasant piece of European pop.
What do you think about entries? Who's your favorite?

Neo has got his second single "Toxicated Love" out as official b-side of this year's Stockholm Pride - dirty disco-track not directly in Neo's style but all experiments Neo prepares working on his second album are appreciated a lot by us.
Now artist presents live music video of this song as documentary of his performances (the one at Pride among others), shots from the studio and meetings with fans.
