In my next life, I want to be a Scandinavian.<\/p>\n

I want to be born in the cool Kingdom of Pop and fill the world with sweet glistening melodies, as though it were one giant ultraviolet snow cone begging to be licked. How do they [and on a greater\/more accurate scale] the Nordic Region manage to get it so right 99% of the time? (I know what you\u2019re thinking and no, I actually quite enjoyed Lordi\u2026) Do the midwives threaten to return every newborn to their mother\u2019s love-oven if they don\u2019t agree to a life of Eurovision Song Contest<\/strong> auditions, or join some sort of ABBA<\/strong>-worshipping disco coven by the time they\u2019ve grown their first pubic hair?Not that I condone violence in any way, but if you\u2019ve a Scandinavian friend or family member with musical talent, try jabbing them with a toothpick to see whether they bleed the aurora borealis. If they yell \u201cwhy?!\u201d and curse at you loudly, just tell them Robyn<\/strong> telepathically told you to, and it\u2019s OK, because you think they\u2019re more magical than a Disney marathon at Christmas.<\/p>\n

So what\u2019s got me singing Nordic pop\u2019s praises today, more than we all do the other 364 days of the year? Well the sun is out for one, so naturally, living in the UK and receiving such a rare treat, I\u2019m giddier than a virgin at a prison rodeo \u2013 but secondly I\u2019ve spent a
\ngreat deal of time listening to Frida Sundemo\u2019s<\/strong> “INDIGO”<\/strong> EP on repeat\u2026<\/p>\n
