Though Sweden’s Tove Styrke hasn’t quite achieved the same level of chart success outside her homeland as her namesake artist from the same country, hers is a star that still feels like it’s rising, as more and more of us cotton on to the fact that there’s in fact more than one Tove in pop to get excited about.
Her latest single, ‘Number One’, is a case in point. It’s great because a) she name-checks Britney Spears, b) she does a totally convincing rap and c) even though she’s chased around the stage by a miniature raincloud in the video, the soundtrack brings the sunshine with its boundless levels of energy and optimism.
She might not get a number one with it here in Australia, but there’s no denying hers a star that’s set to shine in years to come.
Australia's first stop for pop!

My ABSOLUTE favourite pop song of the year. Why is it always the best songs that never get heard on radio?! So many people are missing out on this GREAT ALBUM.
