The gap between Sweden and the rest of the world in terms of pop music is getting wider by the day. Whilst it feels as if the country pumps out acts whose weekly, stadium-style pop chants dominate the landscape, there is something different about singer Rebecca Bergcrantz better known as Raindear.

Poland-born singer Patti Yang unveils her second single entitled 'Invisible Tears', which is taken from her forthcoming 'War On Love' LP, set to land in April 2016.
