5. Strandels — Not My Party
Strandels, consisting of sibling duo Tova and Sixten returns with delicious single “Not My Party”, unveiled on January 10th, as a glimpse of their debut album set for spring 2020. We’ve actually discovered the duo back in 2018 when they released their single “Need Your Love”. Since then, Strandels is doing pretty well, counting about hundred and thousands monthly listeners on Spotify.
We’re genuinely confident that it’s only the beginning for this tremendous up and coming Swedish duo, as we believe that they have an enormous potential to set a solid impact in 2020. "Not My Party" is definitely the proof of that upcoming glory. The song, written by the duo alongside Johan Lindbrandt (Alex and Sierra, BoTalks) and Scott Effman (Kelly Clarkson, Justin Bieber) is a catchy, melancholic and delicate composition telling the story of unrequired love.
