Sometimes I get in the mood for a little pop punk. Actually, this has been the only version of “Happy” that I have been able to listen to multiple times. Add in a fun time video full of silly dance moves and you get my attention. Monday Kills from Jönköping, takes the song and adds a little pop rock twist making it listen worthy in my opinion. Good job guys!
Say Lou Lou featuring Lindstrøm – Games for Girls
I think it’s about time I go back to taking you into Friday with a dancey pop tune. So here you guys go. I haven’t featured Say Lou Lou yet because I hadn’t found a song that just fit. This lovely song featuring Norway’s Lindstrøm will make you jump out of your seats and start dancing. Who cares if you’re at work, take a break from your chair and shake those bididbibomboms. I think I will be playing this at my birthday party next week.
Throwback Thursday – Europe – The Final Countdown
What was something I learned last week? The band Europe is Swedish. So this makes this Throwback Thursday extra awesome as I get to post a song that has made me laugh, have fun over the years, “The Final Countdown” Hair metal at its best!
Call me – Change (Piano Version)
So there are two versions of this song, the synth poppy greatness that got first grabbed my attention a few months ago and a piano version. Just ethereal vocals and beautiful simplistic piano, Call Me’s new song change is magnificently glorious. For a whole week I debated what version I was going to post and finally decided to go with the piano version. It’s raw, lovely and hits me in my little heart.
Molly Nilson – Plaza Italia
Dark vocals, mixed with a happy synth beat make Molly Nilsson’s new release awesome. I imagine myself listening to this crossing the bridge from Manhattan into Brooklyn and looking out the window of the subway train smiling. Such a great heartfelt song.
Hello Saferide – I Was Jesus
I had Hello Saferide on my Throwback Thursday list, but you can’t imagine how excited I got last week when I was writing my blog to find she released a new song. Her six year hiatus was well worth it. This is a simply divine fun pop song!
Anna Ternheim – Light of Day
Oh this makes me excited that a Swedish Folk Singer is being featured on the soundtrack to one of my favorite shows. I hope the zombies don’t eat her cause her music is just gorgeous! Love it! I’ll be whistling along to this all day.
iamamiwhoami – Tap Your Glass
My brother featured this the other day so I held off in order to not double up. The always beautiful and amazing iamamiwhoami brings us a yet another new gorgeous video. The song is also wonderful!
The Sun Days – (Get Him) Off Your Mind
New twee pop goodness from Göteborg’s Sun Days. I get so excited when bands tease but then release new music. I can’t wait to hear a full ep or album. If this is what we’ve heard from them so far, we have a lot of goodness to expect!
Throwback Thursday – Vanessa – Upside Down
So last year my darling Brother Oblivious discovered a woman named Vanessa. Don’t ask me how, but she has taken over his life by storm. I think Olivia Newton John stole her “Physical” video idea from Vanessa. I have no idea which came first but Olivia got nothin’ on Vanessa.
Swedes are Sweet
