Victoria Bergsman mesmerizes once again with her utterly unique and sweet voice and lullaby-like soothing melodies in her latest single “Only You,” and its accompanying new video. Directed by Armen Harootun, the video features the Swedish songstress singing blindfolded around several mid-makeout couples. Harootun says, “To me the idea of the video came from the resistance of another idea. I became tired of watching videos of the same thing: a man chasing a woman, or visa versa. It seemed appropriate to consider love as something that doesn’t have to be between a man and a woman. The video is a showcase, not a demonstration of that idea.”

“Victoria’s role in the video can be interpreted in a few ways. To me, she is blinding herself from any promiscuity because she wants to be exclusive with one person only, hence the meaning of the song.”

Only You is taken from last year’s Other Worlds (via Secretly Canadian), Taken By Trees’ Hawaii-inspired, tropical synthpop album, and was released last week paired with a beautiful remix by LA producer Jesse Shatkin aka Belief. Watch the video below and don’t forget to share it with your one and only afterwards.

Last month, Swedish electronic duo Club 8 released new single “Stop Taking My Time,” the synth-drenched first taste of their forthcoming eigth stuido album, Above The City. Teaming up with Andil Dahl, Club 8 collaborators Johan Angergård and Karolina Komstedt made a stylish video with a simple concept for the enticing first single which features the duo as silhouetted figures and lots of bright-coloured lights. The album drops May 21 via Labrador Records. Watch the video below.

We’ve alerted you about Urban Cone for several times before and just when we thought it wasn’t possible to love this Swedish synthpop five piece more, they gave us the new video for “Searching For Silence,” the thumping body-mover taken from their unapologetically good debut LP Our Youth (out now via Universal Music Sweden). Watch the video below and have a listen at “Freak,” “Black Ocean” and “Kings & Queens” on Hot Shit afterwards, if you haven’t already.

The Australian/Swedish sister duo Say Lou Lou,who previously mesmerized us with their debut single “Maybe You,” are back with a brand new one titled “Julian.” They are unleashing the single on May 6th through their newly formed label À Deux, and it will be bundled with remixes from Dan Lissvik, Martin Dubka, Monsieur Adi and Checan. Stream the track below.

Here’s the video for The Knife’s “A Tooth For An Eye,” taken from their from their forthcoming album Shaking The Habitual, to be released via Rabid Records/Brille Records on April 8th. The video directed by Roxy Farhat & Kakan Hermansson.

It’s been almost a year since we posted anything from Swedish rising star Little Jinder but the long wait is now over. We’re happy to inform you that the synth-pop artist has just posted a video for her new single “Whatever 4ever,” a track taken from her forthcoming debut album that is penciled in for release later this summer via Goldenbest Records. The video was directed by Anders Abrahamsson, André Lindholm, Jonathan Estate and Elias Klenell.

Swedish Italo-disco duo Sally Shapiro have shared another track from their new album Somewhere Else. “All My Life” is possibly our favourite track to be taken from their third album, and it is available now via Paper Bag Records.

Swedish rising star Elliphant has just released a brand new track titled “Live Till I Die.” The track, which will likely be included in an upcoming EP—or better yet, a debut album—, is accompanied by a VHS-quality fuzzed video that was directed by MoFO. Watch it below.

Ms. Henrik’s debut single is kind of a BIG deal you wouldn’t want to miss out on, and I will tell you why. You know that we are big fans of synthpop here at Hot Shit. But with so many new (and very good and promising) bands coming out everyday, I think that many synth-pop acts are inevitably starting to borrow influences from one another. So it is becoming more and more difficult for newcomers to have a distinctive style that doesn’t sound like anyone else and is still very easy to be listened to and liked. “Doing It For The Man” is doing exactly that: it has a sound that is brand new, very original, and still insanely catchy and exciting. This is why it is a big deal. There are too many big, great fish in the sea, but Ms. Henrik is like that one big bright colored fish that grabs your attention and affection instantly.

Now, I can’t wait to see how his new material will pass beyond the levels of such awesome his debut single has achieved — but I’m only optimistic about it. :) Enough said on a true hit that needs no introduction at all. Doing It For The Man is available via Gothenburg label Arton Pile. You can watch the Line Engborg-directed video below and get the track as a free download after the Bandcamp jump. Enjoy!
