Catching up with Depeche Mode? No…Catching up with Swedes are Sweet!

It’s Tuesday morning and I had my super human energy filled breakfast, my birthday is coming and I am ready to have some bouncing dance moments at desk.   So many songs have come out within the last month but I’ve been lacking on the posts.  My fault and I promise come Mid September Swedes Are Sweet will be back in full force.  And you will have all the Scandinavian delights you could ever hope for!  So here is a recap of whats been going on across the ocean.  It’s been quite a summer for poppy dance hits.

Last week, Moonbabies released a new dancey tune to uplift my soul and get me ready for some action! There music will definitely be on my birthday party play list.  It plays makes me feel good inside!

For all those who love smooth indie pop, This is Head released a new single and yet again they do not fail to fill my heart with joy.

For those of you who are more kean to guitar and bass, and want a little bit of passionate rock in their lives.  Caviare Days is for you…

And let me give a shout out to the Liv who lives across the pond who is always eagerly sending me her finds.  You are awesome!

Liv introduced me to Nadi Nair out of Gothenburg who mixes a bit of eccentric vibes with soulful vocals.  Her groovy beats making me want to dance slow banshee style.  I’d show you but I think I’d scare you.

Liv also gave me the heads up on the song below.  Most of you are familiar with the Teddybears.  But I am not talking about the soft furry kind you held to go to fall asleep as a child.  I’m talking about the groovy musical Grammy award winning kind.  Recently, they have been back at it bringing groovy hits to enchant our ears.

Oh My O – Diggin Deep

Their second album was released back and April and I am so happy to have found this today so I can spread the word just a few months later.  I couldn’t find a video for the song “Dance to Our Heartbeats” that danced its way into our heart, but I was able to dig deep and find “Diggin Deep” to add some joy to all your ears.

Imitation is the Sincerest Form of Flattery

All it took was someone to light a little fire under my ass to make me want to bring you guys a better blog and an easier way to enjoy the music that I love and hold dear to my heart.  I dedicate hours of my time to bringing out what I feel is some of the best music in the world.  This blog is my heart, my soul, this “music is my boyfriend”(To quote CSS from Brazil).  I will continue to devote hours to bring you sweet sounds for all your pretty ears.

As you seen yesterday, I now have a Spotify account dedicated strictly to Swedes are Sweet.  The playlists are divided into each month.  I also realized not everyone has access to Spotify and you have to sign up to listen.  So I have created a Souncloud account that will have playlists for you to access without having to sign up for their website.  The playlists are not completed yet, but I will have them done soon. Please enjoy by clicking the link below.

Swedes Are Sweet’s Soundcloud

Swedes are Sweet Has It’s Own Spotify Account

Last week, I quickly scrambled a playlist of songs on this site from my personal spotify account and I promised that I would soon have a break down of posts by month.  So as promised, I have started breaking down the playlists by month on Spotify.  It’s currently up to date and will be growing.  I will include the new songs as I add them to the blog.  That way if you want to listen to the music, you no longer need to head over to youtube and it’s all in one place.

Luha – Heart

I first featured Luha months ago when I started the blog.  I’ve been anticipating a new release for quite some time and she finally delivered.  She made it well worth the wait.  This song is absolutely beautiful and will lullaby you into a splendor.  This song touched me deep in my heart where I am soft.  

Linnea Olsson – Breaking and Shaking

I love the cello and I also love Linnea Olsson.  I’ll have to wait to feature a song with her cello playing another time.  Her recently released video for her song “Breaking and Shaking” is a pop spectacular.   In this song she incorporates guitar and  drums rather than the use of her cello.  Her sweet vocals and the percussion beat make me want to get up dance shake and clap like Carlton from Fresh Prince of Bel Air.  This song is magnificent.
