It's that time again, my chance to show you the crazy music that warps my mind into the intrinsic mess it is today! But seriously, I hope you like my top three this week :) There's a bit of a Eurovision theme this week as a few countries chose their entries last Saturday, please try and bear with.
3. September - Mikrofonkåt
Video (Eng/Swe) | iTunes top 25: n/a
Released a couple of months ago, Mikrofonkåt (or Microphone) is a really fun pop/dance/Eurodance/schlager kind of tune. It's really fun to listen to and gets your feet tapping and your head bobbing. Such fun! It may be in Swedish but don't despair! There is an English version titled Me & My Microphone. I just happen to prefer it in Swedish.
2. Stella Mwangi - Haba Haba

This is Norway's Eurovision 2011 entry and it is just amazing! It is mainly in English but there is a bit of Swahili in there too and the song is like a Nordic pop song with some African vibes thrown in making for a very mellow-y, quaint kind of tune. I hope this does well at Eurovision, I think it's more than likely to get into the final. Oh, Haba Haba is a Swahili idiom meaning Little [by] little.
1. Jedward - Lipstick

This is a major guilty pleasure. You know, the song ou should despise because everyone thinks the song and/or artist is just appauling but I am hooked on this song!! Jedward are panned heavily by critics and the media in the UK but they do have a strong fan base here and most especially in their home country Ireland - the country they will represent at Eurovision. It's probably the most upbeat song so far revealed to be taking part in Eurovision which is a winner in my book. Unfortunately, due to the fact that these young twins can't sing and are a little crazy, their chances of getting into the final aren't so certain.
Hope you enjoy the tunes, and just so you're aware, for a while yet there will probably be at least one new Eurovision song featured - just wait until Eurovision actually comes!!
Much love,
