Sarah Klang’s warming music is exactly what we need during this time of year. Her powerful voice fits perfectly along with the beautiful instrumentation, as you can hear in ’Call Me’, the lead single  from her new record ‘Creamy Blue’. The lyrics serve as an anthem for the brokenhearted, the forever romantic, the dreamer and the believer. Through ‘Creamy Blue’, Sarah Klang evokes every emotion and every step from being in a relationship til it’s end; it’s a reconciliation between her and her own heart, it is a ten track confession of how a relationship can affect you.

‘Summer 3000’ is the debut EP from the emerging Swedish R&B-duo called Hannes, who first made an impression when COLORS alum Seinabo Sey invited them on stage at the Way Out West Festival in Gothenburg, Sweden in August. The singer’s silky smooth voice is an invitation to the world of late summer nights, teenage love and a mix of different emotions whilst the production encompasses a captivating simplicity. ‘Summer 3000’ is more than just an EP, it is everything, it has everything: the voice, the lyrics, the beats.

Esther Kirabo is a Swedish singer-songwriter and producer whose musical journey began when she joined a church choir at the age of six, learning to play drums and honing her vocal skills. Fast-forward to 2017, and her debut single ’Kill U’ was released to the world; a song about insufficient love, it showcases the power of the 23-year-old’s graceful voice, and attracted significant attention leading to a performance at the Swedish Grammy Awards. The track’s B-side ‘Blunt’ is inspired by Shakespeare’s classic tale ‘Romeo & Juliet’, with production blending an early 00’s garage sound with more contemporary upbeat R&B. As fans eagerly await new music, the excitement builds around this distinctive talent.

Mopiano takes the definition of DIY as a serious matter. The rising Swedish artist writes and produces all of his work; starting out creating his own music from his bedroom back in 2012, he found it hard to find artists who could adapt the sound that he created, so he started to sing by himself. He went on to work on projects such as DEXYxMO, best known for the hit song ‘Project X’ and is currently active with his debut EP ‘Late Night Outdoor’. Newly-released single ‘Undercover Paper Chaser’ is as smooth as the name of the title, with a beat to make even the stiffest dancer move and a melodic blend of sung and rapped vocals. What’s for certain is that this is only the beginning for Mopiano and his home-cooked smooth bangers.

The daughter of a musician father, Regina Amado grew up with a passion for the beats of rhythm and blues alongside influences from the dancehall scene as a member of a multi-award-winning all-female crew. She has roots in both Sweden and the west African island nation of Sao Tomé & Principe from which her music draws inspiration; her debut solo single ‘Care For You’ is a powerful song filled with soul, with her delicate vocal melodies paying homage to golden era of RnB over a bashment-infused bounce for a vibrant modern sound. An authentic and charismatic rising star, Amado is definitely one to watch.

Seinabo Sey is the soulful voice of empowerment and womanhood. The Swedish artist creates music that reflects her own life experiences and explores themes of feminism, identity, body positivity and self love. Sey has taken control of the creative direction for her new record into her own hands in order to elevate her art, spending several months in Gambia where she filmed the music videos for ”I Owe You Nothing” and ”Remember” featuring Birmingham’s Jacob Banks. This is the first chapter of a more mature and confident Seinabo Sey, showing that her gift for songwriting can perfectly capture wordless emotions and translate into music.
