album
Hannes
“God bless Sweden”
(Earthriseonthemoon/Amusio)
Hanne’s debut album “God bless Sweden” consists of nine dreamy pop songs with RNB and indie influences that make you feel like spring. “The most touching Swedish debut of the winter,” said DN’s Sara Martinsson.

Your eyes
“child of man”
(Playground)
Dina Ögon continues his soulful recipe for success with a “safe and enveloping” record, as DN music editor Kajsa Haidl described it in her interview with the band. Perhaps the coziest is the “Verdandi”, which is obviously inspired by “Kalles Klätterträd”.
song
Lykke Li
“Lucky again”
(Neon Gold Records)
“Lucky again” begins with a sample of Max Richter’s Vivaldi interpretation “Four Seasons” and soon transitions into atmospheric disco lines. It’s a vibrant, energetic pop song that bodes well for the full-length album, due out May 8th.
song
Lana Del Rey
“Deer hunter with white feather hawk tail”
(Polydorus)
The more you listen, the more obsessed you become with this strange Lana Del Rey single. The whispering chatter is accompanied by a mysterious basic melody, intrusive brass sequences and vibrating, sometimes eerily creaking strings. “Whoopsie Daisy, yay!”
album
Mitski
“Nothing will happen to me”
(Dead Oceans)
After the big hit “My love mine all mine”, Mitski is back with his eighth studio album. Here she maintains her tried and tested dream pop with “I’ll change for you”, but also shows herself on “Where’s my phone?” from their rockier side.
album
Peaches
“No lube, so rude”
(Kill Rockstars/Border)
Electroclash pioneer Peaches’ sizzling new album “No lube so rude” lives up to the high expectations of her previous five albums. “She sounds more inspired, fresher and more uplifting as a dancer than she has in a long time,” wrote DN’s Johanna Paulsson.
song
Bladee
“Magical misery”
(garbage island)
Yung Lean’s Gunslinger is back with a new single that sounds exactly how you hoped it would. The 31-year-old rapper from Stockholm offers three dreamy, captivating and vulnerable minutes.
album
Charli XCX
Wuthering Heights
(Atlantic)
The film may have its detractors, but the Charli XCX soundtrack to “Wuthering Heights” was better received, mixing strings with exciting hyperpop. Both a continuation of the “Brat” era and something completely different, noted DN critic Johanna Paulsson.
