My love for Swedish musicians goes back to elementary school, when I first heard Robyn, Ace of Base, and The Cardigans. Robyn is still one of my favorite artist, as well as other Swedes Lykke Li, The Sounds, Jonsi(video above), and Shout Out Louds. So this week's Foreign Friday goes out to Swedesplease.
"Swedesplease was the first daily mp3 blog devoted to Swedish music. It's gone on to be recognized by Swedish Public Radio, Swedish press, The London Times, The Guardian, The Chicago Tribune and on and on. If Swedesplease has a slant or plays favorites it's a mostly due to an insatiable love of Swedish indie pop, electronica and twee."
The blog focuses on Swedish artists but has featured artists from around the globe; making it a great site to get your international music fix. Peruse the blog and find your new or first favorite Swede artist; perhaps Ji Nilsson.
