    · By Mattias Forsgren

    Högaktuella NoIcE släpper 21 april nya singeln 'Nu i natt', tagen från nytt kommande fullängdsalbum som planeras släppas i samband med den massiva konserthusturné som kommer att börja rulla över hela landet i höst. Nu med bandets nya frontman Charlie Grönvall vid mikrofonen. Som son till Nanne och Peter Grönvall och barnbarn till Benny Andersson är det ingen överdrift att Charlie Grönvall föddes in i musiken. Med en gedigen karriär på sitt CV, i rockband (Bracelet, Little Great Things) så väl som på musikalscenen, är det ett ok han burit med imponerande renommé. Inte minst i rollen som den ikoniska, djupt älskade och saknade Hasse Carlsson, orginalsångare i NoIcE, som han spelat i hyllade ”Noice Rockmusikalen”.  Peo Thyrén berättar...

    Producer Oliver Nelson may be from Sweden and has released music and remixes on various power houses in the EDM world, but he’s far from the kind of bottle-servicey house music mafioso that those things might imply. He’s got a taste for vintage disco and a subtle sensibility that have helped him rework tracks by Tove Lo, Justin Timberlake, Marina and the Diamonds and even Whitney Houston into rubbery electronic funk that avoid the full-blast sensory overload that a lot of pop-oriented dance music falls into. He has also collaborated with the likes of Kygo, Todd Terry, Zayn, The Kooks and many more, delivering a wildly eclectic array of offerings throughout his career.The...

    · By Mattias Forsgren

    Hannah Aldridge grew up on the muddy banks of Muscle Shoals—her birthright is music and Alabama. A reckoning between her coming-of-age in the South and a lifetime of trying to create an identity outside of it, her songs strike a delicate balance between rebellion and self-discovery. These two themes weave through Aldridge’s gifted storytelling, making for records that soothe like a lullaby and crack like a whip. For those raised in the Bible Belt, Aldridge’s music sounds like the voice of an old friend who understands. For those not in the know, her music is an initiation to the dark side of the...
