nye disco ball Nottee| Young Modern Life [Audio]

Before the craziness that’s Nottee begins, we thought it would be only right to address another soothing pop number from the soon to be favorite new Swede. ‘Young Modern Life’ seriously sounds like a remastered 80′s hit that you’d hear five times in one night while busting serious moves on the dance floor. It’s a perfect number to carry your current Spring memories well into the Summer.  Have a listen below.

jj+Picture+1 JJ| Ceo Birthday [Jeremih Cover]

JJ’s fascination for R&B tracks continues. This time the Swedish boy-girl set have taken Jeremih’s “Birthday Sex” hit and revamped it. “Ceo Birthday” finds the two covering the track in true JJ form. The track is also a celebration of sorts for new Sincerely Yours artist CEO. This is an exceptional cover, which has us wondering, ‘how did this not make the album?’ JJ no 3 is in stores now.

JJ+600 499x500 jj | 5 Minute Melody [Audio]

Over the past couple of weeks my love for Swedish band has been growing, after getting my hands on their five minute melody for Swedish Radio, jj covers, Akon and Rick Ross over samples of The Dream and the xx, with a touch of Charles Manson voice for fun.  Your saying WTF?  We know. This is great music!

O’Spada| Ten Strikes

o'spada

What’s going on with the Swedes as of late? we’re starting to believe there’s some sort of machine pumping out quality artists and we’re just late with the memo.  O’Spada is the latest prototype to import our ears here in the states.  Honestly, we’ve never heard of them, but after getting our hands on “Ten Strikes,” and hearing the R&B lush vocals of Julia Spada, we intend to find out more.  Penning a song about domestic abuse (which is always a touchy subject) with a banging 80′s groove is a give and take, either way the track is ace. Turn this up, it may make your day go by much smoother.
