At the beginning of the year, Felix Sandman finally released his second album, Yue. A 12-track album born out of a four-year period during which Felix focused on healing himself—an experience that also led him to reevaluate his artistry.

With the critically acclaimed EP released last year, praised for its unique and international sound, a new musical direction was marked for Felix. He now continues to showcase his creative range through both self-directed music videos and exciting new songs. Featuring grand string arrangements and a generally higher tempo, the productions convey a sense of playfulness and a live feel, while the melancholy and deeper lyricism remain ever-present in Felix’s signature style.

Kevin Faye and Anton Axélo have been active in the music industry for most of their lives. After successful solo careers and extensive work as songwriters and producers for artists around the world, Axélo and Faye decided to launch their joint artist project: SAUDA.

The idea for SAUDA was born when the duo met in the studio for the first time to write music for Kevin’s solo project. What started as a regular writing session quickly evolved into something entirely different. In a basement on Kocksgatan in Stockholm, the vision took shape: a project where no compromises were needed, and where creativity could flow freely.

SAUDA is a fusion of their different musical backgrounds – a genre-crossing blend of progressive R&B, alternative pop, and hip-hop. It’s a sound that feels both fresh and natural, rooted in their shared passion for music.

I’m LUJAIN, an artist who blends my Levantian roots with a cosmopolitan upbringing, crafting a sound where East meets West, sacred meets sinful, and gangsta meets cute—a duality that defines both my life and music.

Classically trained in Poland, I honed my piano and vocal skills before apprenticing under legendary producer Om’Mas Keith in L.A. Now based in Stockholm, I kicked off 2025 with the double single top G + uncut diamond, setting the stage for my upcoming EP, Vanguard, dropping this spring.

On stage, my ethereal yet powerful vocals merge with the piano, creating spellbinding performances that leave a lasting impact.

My name is Gabi Goldman, and I’m a 27-year old Stockholm-based independent R&B/pop singer and dancer who finds strength in raw, real, and vulnerable songwriting. With a fresh take on pop-influenced R&B, I blend sleek, sensual melodies with themes of mental health and self awareness.

I released my first single in 2023 and have since followed up with three more, building momentum toward my upcoming EP. This project, created between LA and Sweden, features standout production from Jonah Christian and Joel Malka.

Now, I’m gearing up to release the full EP along with another single to tie everything together. I hope you find my music compelling. I’m confident that my band and I will deliver an amazing showcase.

Elliot’s bold fashion style mirrors his dynamic personality, making each performance an immersive experience where music, style, and storytelling collide. He’s not just

KURT is the artist formerly known as BLENDA who during 2019 moved to New York and got signed with Pharrell Williams iconic label Star Trak and Def Jam Recordings.

But due to the pandemic the fairytale became a very short lived experience and she moved back to Sweden, became a mother and decided to co-found the artist management and creative studio FOLK, where she co-signed artists as Deki Alem, Stuzzi and the creative studio she runs has worked on creative productions for artist as Swedish House Mafia and Salvatore Ganacci.

2024 is the year of her return, she has moulted her skin and transformed to the artist KURT, named after a cartoon she has tattooed on her arm, which her daughter named KURT. “It’s an experiment” according to herself, “what if I was a white man?” Using a male name was an intentional choice to first and foremost be taken seriously for her art and challenge the limitations and social frameworks created for black female artists and entrepreneurs.

KURT is set to release her upcoming EP Got Shit On My Pants ACT II, an eclectic mix of sounds blending alternative pop, dance, and old school Chicago House.

Ludwig Hart, who over two albums has established himself as our foremost innovator of classic American road rock aesthetics, has throughout 2024 released songs with a sound that is even bigger than on the artist’s breakthrough album, 2021’s “Paloma”. The song “Less I Try” has been in constant radio rotation in Sweden, Germany and the UK, and Hart has had time to appear on national TV, embark on a major tour with two successful gigs at The Great Escape in Brighton and spend a summer playing the biggest Swedish festival stages.

On his third album “Stay Young” – released on September 27 via Argle Bargle Studios – Hart showcases an increasing freedom to genre and style. From reflective, stripped-down tracks like “Ghost of You” and the title track, we’re taken through the reverb-drenched garage boogie of “Run Run” to the big chorus wind-in-the-hair rock of single favorites like “Less I Try” and “Journey.”

The album is constantly in dialog with its title – it feels young, hopeful and alive. The songwriting is focused all the way through not losing any of the brilliant musicianship and live feeling that has characterized Hart’s recordings throughout his career. We get the trademark guitars, the driving drums and the big choruses, but also production details that are as delicate as they are grand, indicating that Hart is entering a new era where his music feels more contemporary than ever.
