It’s no secret that Scandinavians are exceptionally good at making catchy tunes. The following female artists are on the verge of breaking through with their original, inventive, and infectious songs.
Beatrice Eli
Country: Sweden
Listen: "Violent Silence"
Her impassioned voice's a perfect match for her throbbing dark-pop. Her 2012 EP "It's Over" is an impressive collection of songs about the dark side of love. Do yourself a favor, open Spotify and stream "Definite Mistake", one of the most devastating break-up ballads I've heard recently.
Elliphant
Country: Sweden
Listen: "Down On Life"
Elliphant aka Ellinor Olovsdotter is one badass chick. The MC's music fuses dancehall, urban, and synth-pop. It's exotic music for the dancefloor.
Fallulah
Country: Denmark
Listen: "Superfishyality"
Fallulah posssesses a rich, silky voice, and she has so many great songs of the indie-folk-pop persuasion. And she can DANCE, too! Check out her moves in the music video for "Superfishyality".

FAYE
Country: Sweden
Listen: "Breathe Out"
She used to be one-fourth of Swedish teen girl group Play who used to tour with Destiny's Child. Now all grown up, Faye's making music independently, releasing cathartic pop high on raw emotions. It helps that she's got a killer set of pipes (and cheekbones) too. RIYL Lykke Li.
