For the thousandth time, I enjoy the Swedish alternative and pop music scene. They really know how to make that good ear-crack. The stuff you can have just frivolously playing in the background. Elliphant is another artist to add to my long growing list of Swedish female pop singers I enjoy way too much. If you like Icona Pop, Charlie XCX and Santigold then Elliphant might be worth adding to your playlist.
Her new album A Good Idea has been released in her home country and probably will take time before hitting these shores. "Down On Life" was the first track I heard as a single early this year. The vocals on this song remind me of Joe Newman from Alt-J. Yes, that's a very odd comparison but if you listen closely you might just agree.
What I've liked about Elliphant so far is her willingness to have some range in her songs. "Make It Juicy" sounds nothing like any other Swedish pop singers I've ever come across. From the Brazilian percussions to the Santigold style rhymes, this song sticks in your head. American alt-popers can take some serious notes from these young artist from Sweden.
Here's Elliphant's newest single "Could It Be" from her first album A Good Idea. She's come a long way from her first song on FIFA. This song is well crafted and produced. She finally has a chance to show off some of her vocals. I think she's another artist to add to the list of about to break. Good job again to the people at FIFA for putting her out there first internationally. Who knew video games could be so good at pushing artist to the masses?
