LadieLex, Svala and Love Guru & N3dek
Another sunny Friday?! What have we done to deserve such wealth? Go out and enjoy it and take these great songs with you.
All of these songs – and so many more that The Grapevine has come up with over the last twelve months – are available in our New Music Picks 2021-22 playlist.
LadieLex – “Wrong Direction”
Need a new power walk to show everyone your confidence and superiority? LadieLex’s new rock song, “Wrong Direction,” is perfect for you. The lyrics, “I won’t take the wrong direction,” will make sure you don’t get lost despite being mesmerized by the synth beat. We hope you still remember us with your newfound confidence. AE
Love Guru & N3dek – “Iceland Best In The World (Summer 2022)”
It’s time to take out the glow from the stash, get a thick spray tan, add blonde highlights to your hair and crack open the Bacardi Breezer, because Love Guru is here to whisk you away to 2005. This song is almost indistinguishable from a Vespa B- side, except that it’s entirely in Icelandic, and the video is full of a jumping crowd, the expert himself shouting into the camera, and an inexplicable cartoon of his face (WARNING: this video may induce seizures). You can almost smell the Calvin Klein One when you listen to synthesizers hitting you over the head with a squeaky toy. Not for the faint of heart, or for anyone who wants to forget the first half of the century. ASF
Swala – “Bone”
It’s a surprisingly upbeat and upbeat song for something with a title like “Bones,” making it perfect for an afternoon stroll or drive under the midnight sun. The verses look to a bright future and say “better days are coming” – a friendly reminder in a world still reeling from COVID and many other tragedies. Turn it up to full volume to remind yourself of the good things around you. EL
