Songs this week:

Ulrik Munther - Ja visst gör det ont

Powfu - i'll keep protecting you

Benjamin Ingrosso - Angela (Radio Edit)

Dove Cameron - French Girls

Jonah Marais - More Than Enough

Ed Sheeran - Old Phone

Ulrik's first Swedish language single in a decade, he never disappoints, though this one isn't really one I expect to be giving repeat plays for very long, it's very stripped back! Beautiful track regardless. Angela was a highlight from Benjamin's album anyway, the edit just makes it a bit shorter but I'm glad to be reminded of its existence nonetheless.

As for albums:

Christopher - Fools Gold

The singles have all been decent for me, it comes together nicely on the album, he's pretty consistent as far as albums go.

From this week:

Bailey Zimmerman (feat. Luke Combs) - Backup Plan

The Happy Fits - Everything You Do

Maroon 5 (feat. LISA) - Priceless

New Found Glory - 100%

Turnstile - SEEIN' STARS

Songs:

Alison Goldfrapp - Find Xanadu

NewDad - Entertainer

Nilüfer Yanya - Cold Heart

Suki Waterhouse - On This Love

Album:

Model/Actriz - Pirouette
