Johan Krafman - Disarmed
Listen up, fans of Swedish pop boys! Johan Krafman won a recent competition on Mix Megapol called Artistjakten ("the artist hunt") and his prize was to release this single. He's a lucky man, because it's a brilliant pop song. He is only 20, although he looks older in this photo. It doesn't seem like the song has been that successful, but nonetheless if he does go on to make an album in this radio friendly, uplifiting pop style then he could do really well in Sweden. I don't know if Disarmed was written by one of Ola's writers, but I could imagine him releasing it, although Johan makes the song a bit more rocky as that's his background. You can hear some more from Johan's band TD Lemon on their MySpace, and they're alright (a bit Erik Faber actually), but the music isn't a patch on this poptastic number. I hope we'll hear more like this from Johan, but if not at least we can have this one on repeat for about 10 years and not get bored of it!
