The Scandinavian Invasion
Alice Levine takes a look at the new wave of Scandinavian imports and hears from some of the hottest artists from the region - Tove Lo, Mapei, First Aid Kit and Asgeir.
What do you think of when you think of Scandinavia? ABBA? IKEA? Old news. Alice Levine takes a look at the new wave of Scandinavian imports making it big in the UK.
You might be surprised to discover just how much the Nordic region has influenced everyday life over here - from the high street fashion brands and Scandi foods lining our shelves and shops, to some of our most popular apps and games, and even A-Level media students studying The Killing.
There's no escape from the Scandinavian Invasion in the music industry either - from megastars like Avicii to super producers like Max Martin, it's safe to say that the charts would look very different without our Scandi friends. We'll be hearing from some of the hottest artists from the region - Tove Lo, Mapei, First Aid Kit and 脌sgeir - and finding out who's going to be the next big Scandi act to grace our shores.
