Swedish pop stars


There's a new Robyn record out now called Body Talk Pt 1. I cannot wait. Hope she achieves worldwide domination off this record. Latest single is really great. She riffs on the one lyrical note through the whole song, but it still works. This is her version of a club banger. You can listen to it right here: http://www.robyn.com/killingme/

El Perro Del Mar still breaking my heart, now via Robyn
Speaking of amazing Swedish pop. El Perro Del Mar consistently manages to break my heart with her songs. She started out as this charmingly glum one girl doo-wop act on her self titled record, which is a must for anyone who likes Phil Spector kinda pop. Then went choral for a misunderstood second record, then did an 80s pop thing over eight songs and called it a record (it's still really good). One of the songs off that last record was remixed by Robyn. It's a subtle remix, but she adds Robyn styled beats and starts to trade lines with Sarah as the song progresses. I was SUPER excited at this remix when I downloaded it several months ago, yet only just remembered to listen to it now. But it's worth a closer look if you passed it by. So here we are. Two favourites at once!
