Three all-time Swedish pop greats have started the year off on the comeback trail

It’s been over three years since we were gifted with her HARD album, but now Tove Styrke has answered our prayers and returned; and perhaps addressed them, too, by calling her comeback single Prayer. There’s a new album to come this autumn too, called The Afterparty – titled so because Tove says it feels like we’re currently living in the afterparty of our time. If that’s the case, Prayer sounds like the moment we’re being administered the last rites… It’s glorious.

Also back with fresh music for the first time in over three years, Swedish soul icon Janice returns via new single Let Go, Let Love. Soothing sounds abound, and it’s pure joy to hear that vocal put to record again; even more so on a production with two more Scandipop faves at the helm – Ji Nilsson and MARLENE aka Pure Shores. Let Go, Let Love, Let this breath of fresh air into your lives!

Along with the announcement of her new album Sexistential arriving on 27 March, queen of the Swedish music scene Robyn has released two brand-new songs – the title track plus Talk To Me. The latter is the most all-out poptastic she’s sounded in a very long time. Fuelled by the urgent need to arrive at a certain destination alluded to in the lyrics, Robyn is giving us what we want most of all in exchange – a big pop climax! The title track, meanwhile, sees her showcase the other side of Robyn; the kind of Robyn we got on classics such as Konichiwa Bitches and Criminal Intent. She gives us that no-holds-barred attitude in full; and she raps it to us.
