Swedish~ Stereo~

We've been waiting for Daisy for ages and finally she's back with something sounding like a smash directly!
For those who didn't hear about this singer, Daisy has started career in a project Starclub around 2006 making wonderful summerish Arash-breathing pop that has got a pretty positive response abroad after release of singles "Chiki Chiki" and "All The Boys".
Quite soon Daisy has come up with a solo-project and has delivered a big Swedish pop explosion "Everytime" that unfortunately hasn't got follow-up but we could listen to some other nice pieces of Daisy's music on her Myspace page and the singer was working on a new music all the latest time.
Here's the first result of her work in studio "Girl is Me" - brand new track which is not a dance as you could expect but it's a pure pop with an excellent production and massive attitude. Daisy takes part in Metro On Stage contest with this song so don't hesitate to listen to the song and support it here.

Not so long ago some of pretty recognizable names of Swedish music - Miike Snow, Lykke Li, Peter Bjorn and John and some other less recognizable ones have set up their own lable Ingrid which has already got releasing plan for this summer and one of the first releases to come out is a compilation "Ingrid Volym 1" including songs of Lykke Li, Little Majorette and Karlsson & Winnberg (guys behind Miike Snow).
Mostly we were interested in Lykke Li's song "Come Near" which was already performed live at concerts last year and probably has just become a leftover from "Wounded Rhymes". Finally it has leaked. In studio version of the track you can really feel atmosphere of "Wounded Rhymes", right that sort of paranoid pop in all its epic and depressive atmosphere. Fans of "Wounded Rhymes" will be absolutely pleased with it.

Linnea Henriksson is on the way to her debut album "Till Mina Älskade Och Älskare" to be out on May 30th, after two singles released she has visited Nyhetsmorgon to perform two more songs to be included in upcoming album, both in Swedish (as the whole album, you can watch tracklisting here).
"Mitt rum i ditt hjärta" is utterly deep melancholic synth ballad changing tempo few times and feeling experimental, maybe even as an improvisation in the end. "Lyckligare nu" is on the other hand starts with haunting rock'n'roll verse switching to a big melodic chorus. Linnea has alreadyso performed her latest single "Alice".

Icona Pop girls are back with a new single "I Love It", not directly anything comparable with some of their previous singles.
And I also can't say if it's my cup of tea but I'm too interested in them not to write about this track.
It's shouty, pop-punk, based on a heavy electronic sound and have a nice party-feeling anyway so there will be a lot who'll like it.

Tonight's Humorgalan has gathered two of Sweden's most wonderful pop-singers on the stage to take part in the concert drawing attention to children in need. It was Loreen who has performed "Euphoria" (I've re-watched it around 5 times now and going to do once again) and amazing cover of Björk's "Jöga" (she already did it at Earth Hour) and Sanna Nielsen singing Whitney Houston's "The Greatest Love Of All". The Soundtrack Of Our Lives were also among guests of the show, you can watch their performance here.
