Every Friday around 8 people at Amuse (we work in different departments but all share the love for new undiscovered music) get together in a room for 90 minutes and pick this weeks favourites. Usually, everyone has 5-6 songs each that we play out loud, and then vote. These songs either come from the long list of submitted tracks or great songs we have found on our platform (usually through traction in streams or playlist adds). The quality of the song is obviously most important but we also look at the album artwork, read the artists bio and try to have a diverse list of songs as possible. Hope you enjoy this week’s songs, we put a lot of effort into finding these gems for you.

Markus Krunegård – Genesarets Sjö

1 800-GIRLS – U, Me and Madonna

This instrumental track caught our ears immediately, and this weird and quirky music video helped set us in the right mood.

Maydar – sweet talk

This video was premiered on Swedish state television music show PSL recently, which is kinda a big deal. The video looks great and the song is really good!

Ramona – 1851

Great female rapper from Sweden has this to say about her own song “This is a song about me as a woman in a music industry dominated by men. Dedicated to all women. Feminism!”

Nato Feelz – Drop Back

Ready for some hard dubstep? Look no further. This track will make you start shaking to the core, or as one of our staff members put it “This song needs to come with a warning sign”. Enjoy!
