So much free music out there, yet so little is worth hearing. As with yesterday's post on the High Hats, I'm here to help you cut through the muck as best I can. I suspect a lot of people overlooked my notice that Swedish hip-hop artist Fronda was offering up a full album for download and that's a shame because it's one of those rare exceptions where the music is actually worth hearing. Fuck all those endless Christmas singles/EPs/whatever; I'm sick of that shit before we even get to December. This is far more interesting, especially since it's been somewhat of a weak year for Swedish hip-hop. Obviously I'm not up on every release, but if Adam Tensta and Lazee are the best of the best, that's sad. Besides, the best Swedish hip-hop is almost always på Svenska. Now I can't say that this particular track ("Andas") breaks new ground or will blow minds, but it's 100% solid and that's all that matters. Hopefully it's enough to convince you to download the rest at the very least, or even make a donation. Good music deserves to be heard.

Sophie Rimheden's new single "Stay the night" (ft. Adam Tensta) will be released on August 27 with eight b-side remixes. Tracklist details: http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=70440842&blogID=425237710
The tracks on the new Sophie Rimheden album with all the guest spots from Sweden's current crop of "hot" rappers (Adam Tensta, Form One, Aaron Phiri, etc.) only serve to distract from the better tracks on the album that are all her own. Actually, that's not 100% true as the lead single "Go away" is dece, but I really do like her own solo tracks best. Case in point: "Happy". Fun like a carnival, sharp like cheddar and, uh, infectious like a cold. Or something like that. Anyhow, it does what it needs to do which is attempt to reinforce Rimheden's place as Sweden's reigning electropop queen. A couple years ago she had that honor down solid, these days competition is fierce - Firefox AK and Karin Ström ain't no slouches. Watch your back!
Sophie Rimheden - Happy
