It's been a while since my last post, but I figure it's about time I got back into it. Vu's beat me to the punch on Sambassadeur. I was going to talk about their sophomore album, which was released late last year. It's quite good, so go check it out if you like Swedish pop music.
W♥M has mentioned Club 8 before, but I thought we should re-visit this fine band from Sweden. Their latest album release, "The Boy Who Couldn't Stop Dreaming", is one of my favorites from 2007. The duo is comprised of Johan Angergård (formerly in Poprace, currently in Acid House Kings[W♥M] and The Legends[W♥M]) and Karolina Komstedt (formerly in Poprace). The combination of Karolina's beautifully delicate vocals and Johan's instrumentation create what i consider to be a masterpiece of pop music. The album drifts back and forth between songs that are light and melancholic, and others that are more upbeat and happy. The band also shows off a variety of influences, including subtle hints of gospel and country in some of their tunes. Their top-notch songwriting and production really shines as well, due in part to the fact that these two are seasoned veterans when it comes to making wonderful pop music. This is, after all, their sixth album... and what a great one it is.
The song I'm including here is "Heaven", the second single to be released from "The Boy Who Couldn't Stop Dreaming".
