inDIeVA Alert - Name the Pet

Sweden, it's a lovely place. I love it, and so should you. What's best about Sweden? The music! Today, I offer you the super pop princess & latest inDIeVA to win my heart Name the Pet (aka Hanna Brandén) from Stockholm. I discovered her through a nice little collaboration she did with my Swedish boyfriends The Sound of Arrows...the brilliant track "Falling". Her self-titled album was released on Dolores Recordings in early November and it's absolutely delightful! Primarily synth pop in nature, with extra focus on the pop, the album still delivers varieties within the genre and doesn't stick to any formula. The first two singles released (both on limited edition 7") are "Sunshine" and "Get on the Bus". The former is a ray of light pop anthem to help get us through this freezing winter, while the latter is a very heavy club-friendly dance jam. La Roux comes to mind when I hear the fantastic "In & Out", but our dear Pet has much more range as we see on one of my favourite tracks, the closer "London". "London" is the slowest & shortest track on the album, but it's still insanely catchy and sticks out like a sore thumb against all these synthy pop tunes since it's driven by Pet's voice & a soft acoustic guitar. "Borderline" and "Falling" are both ace and either can easily (and should) be the next singles. Check her out, she's sure to hit big soon!
