Thanks for all the votes - much appreciated! There were really only two songs clearly in the running here, with the middle ranked song getting some decent support towards the end of the voting period... So for now, here are the bottom two ranked tracks that won't be representing us...

 

[theditz83]

3rd place in our NF was...

SICK INDIVIDUALS ft. DOTTER - You

2nd place was.........

SWEDISH HOUSE MAFIA - Ray Of Solar

So that means....

WV 191 ENTRY

For my return in WV193, what flavour are you craving?

A) Prime 100% ditz banger, one of my most played songs on Spotify.
B) A pop-alt groove in Swedish that is a bit of a genre-mash.
C) A late-night club anthem from a respected Swedish vocalist and an up-and-coming producer.

@Leydan @theCONWEL @FabiESC @Amir @Ana Raquel @Genesis @Arion @Ewigkeit @iowacorn + all others that give a rat's backside

 

[Leydan]

A ofc

C sounds interesting

So I would go C>A

 

[FabiESC]

A

 

[iowacorn]

Like I wanna say C for my own tastes, but i say go with A and let your taste shine

 

[Arion]

I'll go with B!

 

[theditz83]

Thanks for the input so far... As a side-note all options will be sent at some point, just can't decide which one to go with first... Haha!

 

[Ana Raquel]

Oh dear 100% ditz banger sounds like the sensation of the moment so A

 

[Marcos C]

A all the way!

 

[Ewigkeit]

They all sound promising

 

[Gera11]

A

 

[BernadetteCydonia]

A, it sounds like the type of your priority you should prioritize.

B for me personally (I'm curious)

 

[BernadetteCydonia]

So A) is what you chose hm?

So A) is what you chose hm?

Yes indeed, I went with the majority rule here - a group that I fell in love with in their early days when I was at university, and the epitome of the Scandi pop-dance sound that I adore.

I had a nightmare trying to pick a song from their discography to send, as I have so many favourites, but I eventually plumped for the lead single from their "Move Than Alive" album as I love the progression and the various phrases that interplay throughout the song giving it a well-rounded journey and feel.

This is ditz at 100% (save for "Taste Your Love" by Dinah Nah, but @Leydan already sent that... ) so I hope you enjoy!

Da Buzz - Alive

​

P.S. Honoured to finally debut Da Buzz in WV - they have been an important feature in my musical journey through Swedish pop, so it's only fitting I finally give them their place in the WV history books.

P.P.S. The two other "finalists" in my consideration for this edition with both from the "Dangerous" album... Here's where you say "I prefer this one..."

 

[theditz83]

All you previous peeps that voted for option C now get your chance to chuck some love our way... It's probably a bad description looking back, but hey ho!

WV 194 ENTRY
Dom Dolla, Tove Lo - Cave

​

 

[theditz83]

She never quite had the bop to end all bops in her two MF appearances, but Maria Sur is burning up this edition with her best track to date. It's been looping endlessly in my brain for weeks!

WV 195 ENTRY
Maria Sur - Dance Alone

Gemini AI clue for our 196 entry...

 

[theditz83]

Did you get the clue?
Every morning, she walks towards the edge
And throws little things off
Like car parts, bottles and cutlery...

I had to take this chance and send this cover - I'm sorry if any future (or current) jury member would have wanted to send the original (as it is epic, easily Bjork's best song IMHO) but I just adore this live performance and arrangement from Robyn - the fact Bjork specifically requested her to perform it is so special.... I watch it weekly and it just captivates me every single time!

WV 196 Entry
Robyn - Hyperballad
