Apple Music’s ‘New Nordic’ Playlist

Every now and then, we like to take a peek at Apple Music’s playlists to see what’s new and percolating in the world.

This week we’re vibing out to the “New Nordic” playlist, which is comprised of 39 songs for a total of two hours and 10 minutes of the hottest Nordic tunes. The playlist last was updated a week ago, and Apple describes it as a mix of “the hot, brash beats of modern Scandinavian pop.”

While we were super intrigued by Danish R&B group Phlake’s, “IKEA Episodes,” we pulled out a handful of Swedish artists on the list we think are worth taking a listen.

Tove Styrke – “Mistakes”

Cherrie – “163 För Evigt”

Esther Kirabo – “Kill U”

Esther Vallee – “Numbers”

Rhys Clarstedt – “Too Good to Be True”

LÉON – “Body”

Paul Rey – “What Good is Love”

Axwell Ʌ Ingrosso – “More Than You Know”
