New Annie Album!!

It's not the first time I'm talking about fabulous Annie.

Here's a fantastic news about her, she has a new album coming out September 2008!

The video to "I Know UR Girlfriend Hates Me", produced by Richard X is already on the air...



Forbidden goodie (don't tell anyone): the remix by the excelent British trio Soul Seekerz

Nordic Pop!!

Perez Hilton is not only an expert in trash tabloid news, he's also a talent discovere! I totally agree with his latest infatuation: the Swedish singer Lykke Li (here is her single). She was noticed last year with the excellent "Little Bit". This time, she's back with an album everyone talks about.

Lykke Li - "I'm Good, I'm Gone"

Annie, is back with a very anticipated album. "Anniemals", her debut album in 2004 was very promising (extracts down here) and heralded a cool pop career. Already nicknamed the Scandinavian Kylie, Annie can pull different tricks, she mixes, a cd's even already been released!


Annie - "Chewing Gum"



Annie - "Heartbeat"

Jay Jay Johanson - electro era!

Talking about Jens Lekman, I remembered how much I enjoyed another Swedish artist's attempts at the electronic genre. Jay Jay Johanson was not welcomed by a landslide when at the time of the release of his 2 electro albums. Even if the minimal new wave sound that he probably borrowed from the Pet Shop Boys or Kraftwerk was pretty good, to my opinion.



The first of the two, "Antenna", whose two extracts "On The Radio" and "Automatic Lover" were released in 2005 introduced a fucked up Jay Jay Johanson complete with long red hair that were not really convincing...



After a best of CD, the second album showed some more maturity. With "Rush" (2005), Jay Jay who came back to a much more reasonnable clothing style gave us very melodic chords like Air's.



Another extract of this weird but beautiful album: "Because Of You", which is closer to an optimistic Daft Punk track.



The next album ("The Long Term Physical Effects Are Not Yet Known" - 2007) was a come back Johanson's musical roots and - incidently - to critical acclaim.

Jens Lekman

I just bought a CD that I heard is excellent. It's a Swedish singer who is already releasing his second album. Some people say his music is very orchestrated and that he is a genius writer.



This is a single from the fist album, which I think, is ont as refined as "Night Falls Over Kortedala" (2007) named after a suburb of Gothenburg. This artist is definetely worth being listened to.
