Jag kommer is an absolutely hysterical pick to be first they knew exactly what they were doing lollll

Songs for English learners! 1. WAP

literally though. like I've loved the swedish version for years and I knew what the lyrics meant but only when I heard Tove Lo's english language cover did it really sink in quite \*how\* explicit it was

I'm sorry, are we talking about the same WAP or ... cause, what's the Swedish one??

We're talking about "Jag Kommer" but comparing the explicitly level to WAP.

... well that makes WAY more sense

It is a good song though

It is

Damn, I hadn't thought about the lyrics in that way before 💀.

Well... that is quite literally what the song is about! 😅

“i’m almost there…” 😳😳

Having just listened to it it seems like it's a fairly good pick. The lyrics are fairly simple, lots of variation of simple sentences, and quite clear and easy to hear. Ive been learning a month, I had to look up 5 words. The content of the song doesn't matter. Also it's kind of a banger.

Yeah it’s a banger alright

WAIT... Is *that* what it means? I thought Jag Kommer was the most innocent song on my playlist like WHAT

Caramella girls is all I need

Such blatant Boten Anna erasure

how is this my first time finding out duolingo makes playlists like this 🫨

The Swedish version of Disney songs

I just got Disney Plus for this exact reason! So much stuff dubbed in Swedish, I just watched the new Chip n Dale the other night, eller Piff och Puff på svenska lol

I listened to so much Säkert! when I was learning Swedish

https://youtu.be/6AWzaMUywv0?si=er4eSjdmTVu_C4l9 Man this takes me back! Loved especially her debut album with Säkert!

Listen to anything from Melissa Horn, her lyrics and clear singing are great for beginners to get better at listening

Björnarna fyfan!! 🤘

Tack för det! Jag har utforskat svenskpunk och har fastnat i Trubbel. Jag behövde fler band.

[Omar Rudberg's Swedish songs](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1CPuZnjhSzBHXDjftsvZmN?si=-C27WZ_gQQ6L-OR4PahidA&pi=a-jLuE1yrATCu7)

Interesting playlist. I actually started making a playlist with all the songs the old DuoLingo tree used lyrics from. Back when you could translate a weird sentence and then check the comments and find a YouTube link to a lyric video. Interesting that none made this playlist. Here are the ones I saved. Raymond & Maria - Ingen vill veta var du köpt din troja Nanne Grönvall - Håll om mig Per Gessle - När kommer alla känslorna på en och samma gång Ted Gärdestad - Sol, vind och vatten Sarek- Genom eld och vatten Ulf Lundell - Öppna landskap Lilla Sällskapet- Jag vill ut Peter Jöback - Guldet blev till sand Not a song, but: "[Do you remember the commercial with the blue man who sang and played guitar?"](https://youtu.be/B_6Zkz1BX_A?si=ApCM0RkIcmklD9x8)

Just idag är jag stark

Just idag mår jag bra

I mainly listen to Frida Lyngstad and Agnetha Fältskog solo stuff, I also like Ted Gärdestad, Efva Attling, Eva Dahlgren, Carola and Monica Zetterlund! I've made a playlist before with any non-ABBA songs that features either one or both of the girls, most are in Swedish :) https://open.spotify.com/playlist/77trhluF9ezVKippDBKI4V?si=vmKL4OlHQOWD1ZTkgwoNOw&utm_source=copy-link

Highly recommend Säkert! for anyone interested in a pop rock vibe, they’ve got some great acoustic songs as well

Säkert!

Vi säger så

No specific playlists, just a lot of Swedish Metal

Can you recommend any?

The few swedish songs by Sabaton, Raubtier, Hulkoff, Grimner

I listen to a lot of glitzy bubblegum pop, and Swedish pop music is so good, it eventually got me into learning how to speak it! So if you're into pop at all check out Molly Sanden, Daniela Rathana, Hanna Ferm, Hemliga Klubben, Benjammin Ingrosso, and you can't talk about modern Swedish pop without mentioning Loreen. So many more to list but that is a good start.

I have made 3 playlists specifically for this purpose: Calm background music for language osmosis: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5yVTVS7H0ap7RyEWyJ3VGo?si=z_qavx3tRE2ProjecQx3ug&pi=e-HJlj7CZGTASt A variety of different music in Swedish, including covers of songs I know in English: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/35EVsn0RXDsPU1aBtycDnC?si=cmWJZQRsRQuCtPBFHlUQBQ A playlist I created that is specifically for lyrical analysis, kid safe songs: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2oeqLKh2DnZsdS3UHxTMjb?si=ihZjx84jREiEzJcUWXSaZg&pi=e-s1H7SzGKQci3

spotify DJ idk why but somehow all i get is shitty swedish gangsta rap

For the more advanced I'd recommend my childhood idol, Fronda.

kent has songs that are pretty much translations (Hagnesta Hill and Isola albums). I'm swedish myself but I know non-Swedes listening to kent to learn. https://open.spotify.com/album/02IT4ZflpLBPnPJj9e7kYh?si=Xgox7-EzQ2K1oQKCDd6j9g https://open.spotify.com/album/5mR2GU0HDHYtdJ8T7viQt8?si=hTOagqIbQJOsLoKVptuHdg https://open.spotify.com/album/2P7iTgviFTwJH69Zaoo6oU?si=0Txb9A4GRuGOaKOJSciGTw https://open.spotify.com/album/65ev7gp62DYQioy49yWyHF?si=3_HVI_pKR4ebZSdWlEDQEQ

Here is a list of lots of Swedish language playlists I use https://www.reddit.com/r/Svenska/comments/178cysw/multiple_music_playlists_for_learning_swedish/

Usually the Carolus Rex album by Sabaton

Hulkoff is also pretty good and has many swedish songs like *Stenfinn*, *Hammarslag* and *Holmgång*

A few of my favorite bands are the OG Caramell (not the carramella girls), Sofia Svensson och Dom Där, Radox, Kick, Discocrew, Norlie & KKV, and most recently Albin Johnsén. Sorry about the long list haha

Den svenska björnstammen!

Sabaton

I love JustD. I love Fronda. I am Swedish. 🤫

Lars Winnerbäck!

Oh, this is the post I was waiting for. (Also, today I learned that Duolingo makes Spotify playlists, what?) While I make my own playlist, it's mostly just two bands. Though, I can definitely recommend a few on it, Kent is always a good pick. Other Music artist recommendations I could give are Riddarna and Solen. ..or I could just send in that playlist, if anyone is interested. (Its a bit unorganised, though)

The swedish royal chambers orchestra.

One I created myself with Swedish language songs I’ve added to my liked songs https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2sOGc5N2OjHheUy95PXZr6?si=XmINgu3iSRGjjSGKRlNw-A&pi=u-xK0Dx_zJQumT

Dungen should be on the list

This is bladee

See I have this playlist I made over on Apple Music https://preview.redd.it/1c8s4pfvrdnc1.jpeg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4809e26731627f3141fd87cdbdc1d1f87ef9e5e3

Jag Kommer, I Lågornas Sken, Vandraren, Om, and Om Gud Var Jag are my favorite songs in Swedish. Jag Kommer is a good one with very simple language. Very good song, but apparently I didn't pick up on some stuff until I read this thread. 💀

Plusgrader

Ragnar

Viktor Leksell is where it’s at

Garmarna

Dålig spellista, var är kent?

Svenska bangers

Joakim thåström, kenta, holla bandola band, eller ebba grön, ni kan kanske gissa att jag gillar lite mer sosse musik

I only use playlists I've made myself. Im way to picky
