TRACKS
MISSING U - ROBYN 
Sweden's biggest pop star (not necessarily their biggest export, obviously) is back with her first solo track in eight years. Phew, finally! And it's a banger, of course.
It's the kind of catchy, synth-heavy, booming electro-dance gem about heartbreak we've come to expect from Robyn Miriam Carlsson.
 So even in 2018 she wants you to cry and dance to her music at the same time. She didn't invent the model, but she's perfected it. Welcome back, sis - we missed you! 
BLAME FIRE - PETITE NOIR 
This confusingly catchy song manages to be both exactly what one would expect from the founder of Noirwave and rather surprising. Trying to put your finger on what exactly it sounds like is like trying to catch a hurricane with a butterfly net...
