Now I told you about my favourite Swedish albums of the year (#1 / #2, #3, #4 / #5, #6, #7 / #8, #9, #10), here come the opinions of Swedish artists Absolut Noise do like. I asked them to send me their “top 5 list of what they will remember from 2014, especially in music, especially within Sweden”. Some made it short, others went long. Thanks to all of them for their time! PS : there are plenty of artists mentioned here, I did not link to all of them but I guess you can google the ones you like 
Today, part 4, with Nina Kinert, Pontus Levahn (from Tiger Lou and Torpedo), Per Nordmark (BANDOBRANSKI/NORDMARK and Kriget), Nord & Syd and Jacob Douglas (who was (still is?) in the band Sonjagon, then went solo). Only good and talented people then.
My swede musical year in no particular order :
1. Lorentz album ”Kärlekslåtar”
2. Amanda Bergman singing “Jingle Bells” on the x-mas album we’re both on.
3. My next album. Since I’ve been recording it this fall, it has filled up everything that I am the last couple of months. So impossible not to mention for me. Among other things it includes a co-lab with Nicolas Makelberge which I’m very happy about.
4. Mapei’s song ”Keep it Cool”.
5. iamamiwhoami. The songs ”Blue Blue” and ”Fountain”.
