Charm School

A warm, polished return to form that trades arena-sized bombast for intimate melodies and shimmering 60s-inspired pop rock hooks.

The Swedish legends return with a sun-drenched collection of hooks that feel like a warm hug from the 90s.

A bright, resilient celebration of survival wrapped in polished, nostalgic pop-rock melodies.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The bubblegum synth hook in She's Got Nothing On that feels like a deliberate nod to their 80s peak.

Marie Fredriksson's fragile yet resilient delivery on the piano ballad No One Makes It on Her Own.

The 1960s garage-pop energy of Way Out that kicks the album off with unexpected grit.
