Johan Krafman - In The Twilight


"Tonight we're all so beautiful"

You may remember Johan Krafman for his BRILLIANT pop single Disarmed (aka: what could have been Ola Svensson's lost hit single). Well, he's back with a new track, written with the legendary Tony Nilsson. In The Twilight is a blast of uptempo hooks with the bubblegum/power-pop melody you'd expect. There's also some very Kings Of Leon-esque "whooing" going on, which adds a certain amount of grandeur to the track. Personally, I'm just thrilled to see Krafman back after he'd all but disappeared from the music scene. He's still working on songs, which is excellent news for anyone who likes huge, emotional pop music. Hopefully an album's not too far off. If not, he's got my early vote for participation in next year's Melodifestivalen. He's the breakout star who's yet to break out.

Top 50 Singles of 2009: 21-16

20. La Roux - Bulletproof



The catchiest moment on her album, this is the single that cemented La Roux as an artist with staying power.

19. Melody Club - Where Do I Belong



A single that was never given the push it deserved, this is a classic Melody Club pop song with shimmering synths and a melody that refuses to leave your head.

18. Johan Krafman - Disarmed



The type of song Ola Svensson would have easily taken to the top of the charts, this was yet another example of why the Nilsson/Bassflow combo is unstoppable.

17. Linda Sundblad - 2 All My Girls



Max Martin’s best output in a year full of amazing songwriting, it took frenetic to another level. The Hammer dancing in the video is forever scarred in my retina.

16. Donkeyboy - Ambitions



A soaring, surprise Summer smash (how’s that for alliteration?), these Norwegians came out of nowhere and took their home country by storm.
