Hajen is a brilliant young singer-songwriter from Sweden. Her impassioned singing style is timelessly earthy and warm and I can’t stop listening to her on my way in to work this week.
A bunch of great artists have been emerging from the region as of late (Little Dragon is one of my faves). I also recently covered Fredrik who happens to be Swedish too. There’s a music blog devoted to Swedish music named Swedesplease that’s really great if you’re into learning more about the scene. Check out a cover of Hajen covering Dylan’s Moonshiner below (you can also watch on her Myspace page).
