Florrie - Shot You Down [UK]


Florrie is a quadruple threat - singer, songwriter, drummer, and model. And in the video for the song Shot You Down off her Late EP, she effortlessly demonstrates all those roles. I love how the chorus gradually increases in its intensity to the point of a power pop explosion. After two years of giving us a sampling of her talent, I think it's time for Florrie to take the next step with a full on album.

First Aid Kit - Blue [SWE]


The Swedish sisters are back with the third single from their album The Lion's Roar. Blue is a wistful tune that has an engaging melody and tells an all too common story. Like with their past videos, First Aid Kit have provided else with a compelling visual to go with the new release.
