Tove Styrke Hailed by New York Post

A year ago, Tove Styrke was one of the Idol finalists in Sweden. This July, she issued her debut single – “Million Pieces” – which peaked at No.18 on the Swedish singles tally. Last month, she spent a sole week at No.21 with “White Light Moment.” The latter track has caught the eye of New York Post, which includes Styrke in the 10 Artists to Know in 2011. The news paper names her the next Robyn, stressing that producers Patrik Berger and Jan Kask have previously worked on tracks for Kylie Minogue, Hillary Duff and The Sounds. WelcheMusic says congrats and promises that we definitely will look out for Tove Styrke next year.

Nicki Minaj+Annie Lennox=True

WelcheMusic recently reported about the Haddaway sample in Eminem’s “No Love.” We absolutely love Nicki Minaj’s sample of Annie Lennox’s 1995 hit “No More I Love You’s” in “Your Love.” The track is included on the Minaj album Pink Friday, which currently sits at No.2 on the Billboard 200.
