Luna Green

Here’s a pearl for a song from Luna Green. It’s an entirely new version of the song “Sussh” from her album “Swedish Strawberries”. She recorded it in Havanna with Cuban musicians, presumably when she was there to perform at “Peace and Love Festival” earlier this year. The song stood out on the album with a different arrangement, but here it really blossoms in a down-scaled R’n’B-sound á la the early sixties. Luna feels completely natural here with her somwhat restrained expression and it becomes pure magic.

Their further plans include the release of the debut album “Sky City” in the beginning of 2015. Here’s the new song plus two of the earlier songs.

Stalon consists of the three brothers Viktor, Philip and Kristoffer Jonsson. They are also closing in on the launch of their debut album “Ingen annanstans” and have so far released two singles to show us what they’re up to. “Jag kapitulerar” came out this week and “1992” earlier in summer, presenting a nice melodic, a bit nostalgic pop in Swedish.

Dotter

Dotter – “My Flower”

Today Dotter, or Johanna Jansson which is her real name, is releasing her debut single “My Flower”. With the deep forests of Wärmland behind her she delivers a very catchy pop track which is built on a grand Motown-stomp and her clear voice. A great start for Johanna who’s planning on following up with a debut EP later this Autumn.

LO – “Endlessness” EP

Here’s another new and quite interesting female voice. It’s about Lovisa Olsson, or in short LO, who has a kind of unique tone in her voice that I love. And she knows how to use it too, like in the electro-sounding “Love of Mine” here below, or the grand, emotional “Missing Wings” which you can also listen to. Both songs come from her excellent debut EP “Endlessness”, which was released in Spring.

Cajsa Siik – “Higher”

Here’s Cajsa Siik with the second appetizer before the release of her next album. It’s called “Higher” and is a very beautiful pop creation with a bit minimalistic arrangement, muffled guitars and smooth melodies.

Beatrice Eli – “Moment of Clarity”

After the fantastic single “Girls” in Spring I’ve been looking forward to hearing more songs from Beatrice Eli. Luckily she has released her next song, “Moment of Clarity”. This is also a piece of catchy pop with attitude, where an energy-pumping verse blossoms in a eighties-sounding chorus. It’s the second single from the debut album “Die Another Day”, to be released on the 22nd of October.
