Swedish pop-rocker Andreas Johnson has returned! Watch the new vid and stream clips of the new album. His previous releases Liebling and Deadly Happy were some of my favs of '99 and '01.
Over to Norway, Sondre Lerche has a new video. It's the most easy-listening/lounge/coffee-shop he's ever sounded, ugh. It's from the 1st album that he's releasing this year. His 2nd album of '06 is supposed to be "a primitive rock record with punchy songs and a more aggressive sound." Yes, please.
And over to Denmark, Kashmir has a new video from their latest album.
Oh man.. I really loved Sondre's first album and maybe half of the 2nd, but this is like a male Norah Jones. I'll past on the first album and wait for the 2nd.

Wow. Andreas Johnson. I also have both of his previous releases. Although, doesn't he sorta remind you of an ego-maniac? Haha. Just judged by some of his lyrics. Diggin the new single! Video reminds me of Tron. Almost a Swedish Robbie Williams-esque thing, but not in a bad way. Beat that Robbie Williams. Haha.

Ginz, I totally agree about the Norah Jones comparison for the new Sondre single, that's exactly what i was thinking.
Newstreamer, you're right about the Robbie comparison for Andreas, though he's less jokey and writes all his own stuff!
