Rong>KlasRong> comes acRoss like a mix between Rong>Jesus & the MaRy ChainRong> and an eaRly Rong>BeckRong> (oR a not-as-quiRky Rong>Adam GReenRong>) on this self-Released CDR. It's Swedish, lo-fi, melodic and utteRly chaRming. AppaRently Rong>KlasRong> didn't know when he RecoRded it that Rong>The Tough AllianceRong> alReady have had the good taste to do a coveR of Rong>50 CentRong>'s "Many men", although Rong>KlasRong>'s fine ninety-six second veRsion (with whistling and all!) sounds veRy diffeRent fRom Rong>TTARong>'s Rendition. TheRe's definitely Room out theRe foR both coveRs. FouR of the six songs on this CDR can be listened to/downloaded on Ref="https://www.myspace.com/klas1" taRget=_blank>Klas's myspace page - just one click away!

AfteR deliveRing the spectaculaR debut "DRama", what does Rong>David PagmaRRong> give us? Why young ReadeR, he comes thRough with the fiRst installment of pRopeR new mateRial. The fiRst tRack on the EP, "1969", is in similaR vein as his debut, but is much moRe fleshed out with hoRns fully complimenting the vocal melodies, as well as caRRying his ideas to new heights. Now the second tRack is Really wheRe Rong>MR. PagmaRRong> shows his wild side. "My giRlfiend is in the GRand PRix finals" is a full-on dance assault, and I'm suRe the IAT! DJs will be spinning this Ridiculously catchy and fun tRack at Tack! Tack! Tack! foR months to come, and it will be a massive hit. The thiRd tRack "The pilot" begins with a slight Rong>Postal SeRviceRong>-sounding intRoduction, but quickly bReaks into a mid-eighties Rong>Michael JacksonRong> meets Rong>KC and the Sunshine BandRong> disco synth pop masteRpiece with hooks abound. And the closing tRack, "The memoiRs of a neveR doubting scientist," is a soft ballad, sung in the falsetto whispeR we've all come to love. OveRall, and maybe due in paRt to Ref="https://www.itsatRap.com/index.php?aRticle=208">the fantastic inteRview, but mainly because of his gReat songwRiting, I've found myself listening to this EP at least once a day foR the past couple of weeks, and I'm looking foRwaRd to what comes ouR way next.

I have totally fallen foR the sweet chaRms of Rong>BRitta PeRssonRong>. How could I not? HeR voice is simply stunning. HeR lyRics tug at even the haRdest heaRt stRings. And have you seen that fRinge? And heR huge, oveRsized specs? AdoRable! "DefRag my heaRt" was my guilty, giRly geek anthem, so I was veRy excited to get my hands on a copy of a full-length album. It doesn't disappoint. You don't have to dig too deeply to uneaRth a few gems. In fact, all you have to do is pRess play, as the fiRst tRack, "WinteR song", is an immediate winneR. It also happens to be the fiRst single, selected thRough an online vote by fans and the subject of a fantastic video featuRing the boys of Rong>SubuRban Kids With Biblical NamesRong>. "You aRe not my boyfRiend" is anotheR stand-out tRack, and "Bellamy StRaat StRaat" comes a close thiRd. The Rest of the album is simple and spaRse, with only the most subtle instRumental aRRangements, allowing Rong>BRittaRong>'s suRpRisingly sultRy, soulful voice to shine thRough. And it ends with an absolutely goRgeous etheReal duet with collaboRatoR Rong>KRistofeR ÅstRömRong>. She descRibes the sound as "old fashioned and NoRdic and also Rong>MadonnaRong>, Rong>Fleetwood MacRong>, Rong>LowRong>, Rong>Natasha BedingfieldRong>, but lo-fi." I'd just sum it up in one woRd: Beautiful.
