It’s her brand new album, ‘Större’. Her third album as an artist, but sonically, it feels like the first album of a brand new artist. It’s a Molly Sandén album like you’ve never heard another Molly Sandén album sound. And it sounds great!
Despite the aforementioned changes to her sound – don’t fear – this is still very much a strong pop album. But with the maturity to her sound that you would expect from Molly at this stage. On ‘Större’, she presents her new songs which hint at a definite love for r&b by the artist herself. But despite switching up her genres and influences, she’s most definitely not lost the knack for crafting a top-quality tune.
Well we still love the singles, in particular ‘Utan Dig’ and ‘Rygg Mot Rygg’ – both of which we were still giving plenty of spins to prior to today. But there are also quite a few tracks that have caught our attention today. Most huge-sounding are the album’s title track ‘Större’, the biggest throwback to yesteryear Molly, ‘Sand’, and the gorgeously melodic ‘Ingen Som Jag’. But as a whole album, it works extremely well.
Tracklist:
1 Större
2 Undanflykter
3 Rygg Mot Rygg
4 Sand
5 Du Kan Inte Ta Mig
6 Ner
7 Utan Dig Featuring – Newkid
8 Ingen Som Jag
9 Du Med Mig
10 Säg Det

Sobre a Obra:
Numa noite de lobos em que todos rezam a Santa Bárbara e os mais velhos recordam uma tragédia antiga, chega misteriosamente à aldeia um estrangeiro e a sua filha Madalena, de três anos, cujos olhos cinzentos tão depressa atraem como assustam.
Nessa mesma noite, a criada do solar vem chamar Violeta para que acuda à sua senhora – pois a hora do parto chegou intempestiva – e Celeste nascerá pouco depois, ignorando que a solidão rodeará grande parte da sua vida. No Fundo do Lugar, onde a água da chuva irrompe em ondas pelas casas mais pobres, é a vez de Samuel – o que desenha bichos no chão dos quintais e imita o canto das aves – temer, como sempre, pela vida da mãe.
Madalena, Celeste e Samuel são os lados desiguais do triângulo donde brotam os fios desta história, contada por três mulheres que se assemelham a fiandeiras do tempo: Antónia, a viúva que tricota camisolas e mantas, acrescentando dias à vida de cada um; Violeta, a que apara nas mãos os filhos da terra e guarda segredos tristes numa gaveta; e Emília, a que ouve em sonhos o afiar de facas e calcula os caminhos que a morte escolhe percorrer.
Os Fios – romance de estreia que revela uma surpreendente maturidade literária – combina de forma magistral a crueza do meio rural com um lirismo inesperado e bem-vindo que torna esta narrativa mágica e poderosamente empática.

Duo FEMM is back with a brand new digital EP titled “dollhouse“.
They have also released music videos for the tracks Plastic. and Up Up & Away.
DOLLHOUSE was release digitally on 4 August 2018.
From the announcement, it would appear that Shibuya Ex Horologium will be an instrumental version of a track that will also be included on their next album scheduled to be released later this year. However, the later version will include lyrics inspired by feedback and comments from the audience of their live one-man show.
Plastic is the first music video from FEMM’s new EP and is produced by London based singer/songwriter/producer MYLK. Described by the duo as “like a FEMM theme song,” it features RiRi and LuLa rapping, using as many words as possible to rhyme with plastic. The video features RiRi and LuLa dancing amid a blinding neon light display. The option to watch in HD at 60fps is necessary in order to fully appreciate it.
The video for Up Up & Away is a performance from Panasonic’s Immersive Entertainment Booth at CES back in January. Using a mix of projection mapping and augmented reality it is designed to capture live performances in real time from across the globe, transporting the audience into the action.
Tracklist:
01. untitled 01 (work in progress)
02. Dead Of Night (work in progress)
03. Up Up & Away
04. Plastic
05. untitled 02 (work in progress)
06. Shibuya Ex Horologium (written by Adirector)
