[song] Chez Ali – Care 4 U

CA

Chez Ali is the moniker of Swedish artist and musician, Elias Mahfoud, who is following up his 2018 EP Buenas Noches Club with the new single “Care 4 U”, out now via Rama Lama Records.

It is a good and melancholic pop song with the generous use of soulful saxophone, that makes it stand out immediately and giving the track a beatiful, nostalgic feeling.

[song] Loaver – Bloom With Me

L

Loaver is the solo project of Kluster B singer Linnea Hall, who is following up her recent single “Drömmeri (om döden)” with the enchantingly beautiful new song “Bloom With Me”.

The track is taken from musician’s debut album Fern (out on vinyl and digitally October 30 via great Rama Lama Records), and presents a gentle song, which begins slowly and picks up steam along the way to blossom marvellously in the end. If you love a different and inventive slice of pop music for today, make sure to check this one out.

Uppsala quintet Cat Princess return with the cover of Nancy Sinatra classic “These Boots Are Made for Walkin”, group’s first new material since their 2019 great debut LP Forbidden Items.

The band turns the song into a surf rock number and proves that it can be just as instantly appealing, when done in a groovy way like this.

[album] Lilla Parasit – Lilla Parasit

LP

Lilla Parasit is an indie supergroup out of Sweden, which is led by Are Engen Steinsholm from the band Melby, joined by Amanda Lindgren (Systraskap), David Svedmyr (Me and My Kites) and Jessica Klingsell.

This week they have unleashed a debut mini LP via Rama Lama Records, a fine and catchy record which mastefully blends psychedelic pop hooks with lo-fi folk.

Released during the hard times, Are describes Lilla Parasit as an album that reflects the themes of neoliberalism and the consumer society we live in, mixed with some personal stories.

Listen below and purchase it on Bandcamp.
