Henrik Lundqvist sounds like no one else. Earlier this year we heard him as The Screamer, but here he’s back with his band Nutmeg in the single “Ready Yet”. It’s high octane, straight on with an irrestistible energetic rock chorus. The video is actually a stop motion video, put together from 15000 stills.

On the 7th of October Frida Selander is releasing her new album “I Hear Sunshine”. She has already showed two of the songs from the album, and it’s just as enjoyable as it’s been before. She radiates a wonderful, laidback, uplifting and soulful playfulness, seemingly effortless, in one song pearl after the other, whether she handles the electric guitar in bluesy rock songs or goes acoustic like here in “Jesus as a Girl”.

Navelin has released the EP “Side One” in September. It’s the first part of two, which later on will form a full length album. The earlier single “Shake It Off” comes here in the company of four new songs with dreamy, soaring pop. Here are two tracks to taste:

We’ve heard Sandra Vilppala before standing in the front of the band Fröken Underbar. Now she’s heading for a solo adventure on an upcoming album she describes as uncensored. She writes: “The album I’ve recorded is telling about my lesbian awakening but is also involving my upbringing in Köping, the journey from inferiority complexes to anti-jante. It’s about banging your head in every wall but refusing to give up. It’s a battle album.” (transl. from Swedish)

To judge from the first two singles, taken from the album, she’s fighting the battle with love and positive energy. We meet a stirring, uplifting and catchy pop in a sound that gives me a sense of a large indoor concert arena, which makes the music feel even more alive and for real. The songs have been produced by Sandra and Christoffer Roth.
