Maybe it's just because of the sheer size of it, but I find my favorite music typically comes out of the US *** shrug ***

 

Sweden is easily the best for pop music though.

I must add another great Swedish singer to the list, Tove Styrke. She was a contestant on Swedish Idol 2009 but ended up in third place. Last year, Tove released the excellent self-titled debut album. In my opinion it's the second best pop album of 2010 (after "Body Talk" by Robyn). So, if you like some good electropop music, check her music. On a side note, Tove is by far the best looking Swedish singer. :)

"High and Low" music video:

 

"White Light Moment" live (her best song):

 

"Million Pieces" live:

 

Tove is incredible. Her debut is so strong and i agree that White Light Moment is her best track. Easily one of the stand outs from 2010

I'm with Ben, most of my favorite music comes from the US with a lesser amount at the moment from the UK.

 

Tove Styrke is a pop artist, no more no less, her material nowhere near as good as Lykke's or Oh Land's (they are both way better looking as well!)

 

The album I am most looking forward to this year is Niki & The Dove's which I hope will be incredible after the tracks I have heard so far.

I agree, Tove is a pop artist, but she's different than usual "suspects". She has all the time to grow as an artist (now she's 18). By the way, Tove's "Million Pieces" was written by Adam Olenius (of Shout Out Louds) & Lykke Li.

 

 

On that Idol contest she performed songs like "Pride (In the Name of Love)" by U2, "Living in America" by The Sounds, "In the Ghetto" by Elvis, "Sweet Dreams" by Annie Lennox, "Life on Mars" by David Bowie, "Will You Be There" by MJ and many more. You can find all of them on Youtube.

 

 

 

 

EDIT:

 

"her material nowhere near as good as Lykke's or Oh Land's"

Have you actually listened to her album? It's much better than e.g. Lykke's debut album.

 

"they are both way better looking as well!"

No.

No.

 

I have listened to the album and I would rate it as the same as Youth Novels but Wounded Rhymes is in a completely different league.

On listening again Oh Fauna is a bit ordinary as well. Love the Oh Land EP though.

I don't like Youth Novels that much either TBH.

 

Tove is pretty enough but beauty is in the eye of the beholder so how you can say "No" as if it was a fact is beyond me.

Wounded Rhymes is better than Youth Novels. I like Tove's album more than WR & YN. Lykke's voice is a bit annoying sometimes.

Oh Land is not my cup of tea.

OK, it was a bit over the top statement... ^_^
