Linnea Henriksson - Alice (live)


Live premiere from our Idol-sweetheart Linnea Henriksson who has recently released a new single "Alice" and was invited to Gokväll last week to perform it live with a another previous single "Väldigt kär/Obegripligt ensam".
Linnea is always incredibly enjoyable live so we were really happy to (at least) virtually visit this mini-gig. Go girl!


Eric Amarillo - Men Hallå! Vem Bryr Sig?


Eric Amarillo who has delievered a hit-monster of 2011 "Om sanningen ska fram" is back for more, he has got a new track "Men Hallå! Vem bryr sig?" shared on his official Youtube-channel and it sounds like a great follow-up of his first solo-album released last autumn.
"Men Hallå! Vem bryr sig?" seems to be a bridge between The Attic's sound that you could feel very well on Eric's album and this year's Avicii trend of big piano ragged chords, catchiness and beautiful melodics is still (like always) included so this song can become a strong Eric's comeback.

Helena Gutarra - Tongues Of Fire (video)



Wonderful The Voice-alumni Helena Gutarra who has recenly made a solo-debut with a single "Tongues Of Fire" that we immediately mentioned here on blog premieres a party-video for it.
This is pretty 80s, low-budget, crazy but funny enough and the song is still absolutely amazing so if you've missed a release of Helena's single consider youself as a lucky person as you won't miss it this time.

Vacuum - I Loved You (teaser)


Vacuum unleashes a teaser of a brand new video, the first in 8 years!
The last one was shot in 2004 for the single "They Do It" from the album "Your Whole Life Is Leading Up To This" - probably the darkest and the purest electronic album in project's discography. Initially Vacuum was presented as a synthpop-band but they seemed to never sound so heavy synth-inspired like on this album. Further singles like "Six Billion Voices", "Walk On The Sun", "Black Angels" has brought band to experimental pop-area not directly attached to any definite direction and to a frequent flirt with acoustics but now it looks like they bring the atmosphere of "Your Whole Life Is Leading Up To This" back.
In the first seconds of upcoming band's single "I Loved You" you can start thinking it's a piano-based track of "Know By Now" family right before it instantly turns to a dark piece of heavy electronic sound with a haunting echo of Mattias' voice somewhere in the depths. Very promising snippet and as the more views it'll get the sooner we'll listen to a full verion don't hesitate to spread it.

Ulrik Munther - Soldiers (Stormby Remix)


Two months ago we were writing about Stormby's Remix of "Euphoria", the first proper remix coming out for this track so fast - even sooner than official pack. Now Stormby has come up with another great mix for another Melodifestivalen entry of this year - Ulrik Munther's "Soldiers", which hasn't also got any official mixes yet (update: thanks to Being Blogged I've found out that actually official mix was released two days ago but I like Stormby's one much more), so we hope Ulrik's label will think about making this one official.
Stormby's remix has become big, poppy and sounds exactly like MF classic mix should sound (I mean you can go dubstep, you can make acoustic versions but schlager-season would be just wrong without such properly schlageristic mixes like this), it also contains an utterly cool military drum intro. You can check whole new Stormby's Swe Pop compilation Ulrik's mix was included in, one hour of the best fresh Swedish dance-pop you absolutely will like.
