Swedish~ Stereo~

When well-known names like Style of Eye, Christian Karlsson from Miike Snow and Carli join forces for a new project something special should be expected and you can check yourself how special their new project Galantis is right now by checking video for their single "Raveheart". I can't say for now if it's something for my player but according to the title it sounds like a real rave-killer on the dancefloor.

Linnea Henriksson doesn't disappear from radio-liseteners and TV-viewers this year, singer's debut album "Till mina älskade och älskare" has peaked at #26 in official Swedish chart but lately it was holding position in Top-5 on iTunes and "Lyckligare Nu" definitely has a chance to become a hit currently being iTunes #2.
At the same time Linnea manages to record collaborations with other musicians. In the end of 2011 Tingsek has released the album with Linnea as a guest on one of the tracks - "Paranoia Waltz" and this year Linnea has already provided vocals for the band Mainekk's album, the track "Ljyd" to be exact.
Both songs are pretty experimental, non-mainstream but very charming, Linnea can create really beautiful atmosphere with her melodic warm vocal.

Andreas Johnson and Niklas Strömstedt who have come up with a common project Hagsätra Sport have already presented two singles to a wide audience and visited Allsång På Skansen this summer. This week they have already appeared at Lotta Engberg to perform Swedish Olympic anthem of this year "Hagsätra IP" and today duo presents video for their song that you can check below with their Lotta På Liseberg performance.

Hagsätra Sport - Idag kommer aldrig mer

Two years have passed since Anna Bergendahl's Melodifestivalen victory and very busy year after which she has stopped recording process but still was touring in Sweden. Finally she's back with a new album "Something To Believe In" to be out in October. Anna was working on the album in Los Angeles with producer Larry Klein (Melody Gardot, Tracy Chapman, Joni Mitchell) and the first single "Live And Let Go" has already arrived on the radio.
"Live And Let Go" is a beautiful slightly country-inspired Autumn ballad where Anna sounds more mature but still have her touching factor that has won over Sweden on Idol and Melodifestivalen and I do hope she will do it again this time.

Sarah Dawn Finer has prepared a brand new album (which, like in case with Måns, we didn't get from her since 2009, only Christmas-releases) "Sanningen Kommer Om Natten" which is planned to be out in October and right now we get the first sneak peek - single "Nu Vet Du Hur Det Känns" written by Mauro Scocco.
Fans of schlager-Sarah should be ready for a big change of singer's direction as the song is a pretty melancholic Swedish ballad which goes with a traditional amount of drama in Sarah's music but still it has quite little to do with soul, pop and r'n'b music of the first albums. Anyway Sarah still can deliver her music very touching and she has proven it yesterday at Allsång på Skansen.
