Ah yes Sweden. It’s a special place where the best music producers, pop tunes and melodies are born. So why not take a little musical trip to Sweden and listen to their faves right now.
If you though Lana Del Rey’s SNL performances were BAD, then you should check out her recent appereance on BBC 6 music.
Perfect, mellow, ghost-like heapings of “Born to Die” and “Video Games”.
Ellie Goulding doing her sensible British electro pop thing at David Letterman with an energetic performance of “Lights”.
Katy Perryis in the middle of a divorce, but that’s not stopping her chart ambitions.
She’s still going for that number 1 with “The One That Got Away” – so her latest move is the release of an acoustic version…
It’s been unusually quiet around Lady Gaga, and I suspect she is wrapping up the “Born This Way” album cycle. The Mother Monster has already hinted of a new album in the works – and I really hope for a more minimalistic musical direction this time.
Please Gaga. No Jesus vs Judas-lyrics, no batshit crazy videos with gooey birthing scenes, no Madonna-copying. We need optimistic pop in times of crisis.
After all… your first megahit was “Just Dance”…
OMG. Lana del Rey is ALL OVER THE PLACE. She’s getting magazine covers like a boss.
All mainstream show want a piece of the melancholy beauty and her dark songs – including SNL.
Watch her two performances below – “Video Games” and “Blue Jeans”.
Freja Loeb and her crew look all sorts of cool in the video for “Soft Blues”- a timeless track if you ask me. A live video is a good choice for this one. Ready to watch?
I just adore Cher Lloyd – especially after this great angry love song. In the world of sticky pop we rarely hear incredibly annoying songs that are irresistible. But I think Cher did just that with Want U Back.
And there’s an even better LIVE acoustic version for you below. Stripped down to only vocals and guitar, it really showcases how much hit factor the songs has…
