From Stockholm comes Ellen Benediktson, an artist who doesn’t polish alt-pop, pop-rock and dance-pop, but deliberately tears it open. Her EP “WID4L” sounds like neon light after midnight: glamorous, impulsive and full of emotion. She herself sees the fact that Sweden has been producing international pop stars for decades as a driving force. “We may be a small country, but we know how to make good music,” she says with a laugh in our July/August issue. This mixture of self-confidence and doubt runs through the entire EP.
