Recently there seems to be a huge number of Scandinavian popstars bringing out some absolutely great music. They seem to have put their own spin on pop and we love it. We have had our eye on Sigrid for a while now and she has now go the title of ÔÇÿBBCÔÇÖs Sound of 2018 number oneÔÇÖ. Could they be taking over the music indursty? HereÔÇÖs a rundown of some of our favourites:
- Sigrid
Of course Sigrid is our number one. From her simplistic style to her sassy lyrics, I donÔÇÖt think anyone will be killing her vibe anytime soon. Her infectious confidence is what makes this 21 year old so special.
- Astrid S
A friend of Sigrid, Astrid S has teamed up with the likes of Blonde and Matoma lending her angelic voice to their tracks. Her own music is the perfect example of Scandinatian pop and is truly wonderful. Listen to ÔÇÿBreatheÔÇÖ and ÔÇÿRunning OutÔÇÖ.
- Dagny
This Swedish beauty has done the UK festival circuit and has built up a strong UK fan-base. Clean Cut KidÔÇÖs Mike and Evelyn used to play in her band teaming her urban poppy voice with a sort of indie feel. She is now fully embracing the pop aspect, with tracks ÔÇÿBackbeatÔÇÖ and ÔÇÿWearing NothingÔÇÖ particularly standing out.
- Anna of the Northhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJQRs9zsBnQ
Norwegian, Anna of the North puts a chilled-out spin on this Scandinavian-pop style. She built up a UK fan-base with the help of touring with big-time DJ Kygo and featuring on Tyler the CreatorÔÇÖs track ÔÇÿ911/Mr LonelyÔÇÖ. This is only the beginning for this pop-star.
- M├ÿ
M├ÿ is already making it big having released tracks with Major Lazer, Justin Bieber and Diplo. This Danish sensation is the definition of modern pop music at its finest and if youÔÇÖve never heard of M├ÿ then where on earth have you been?!
