Last week, fast rising Finnish pop sensation Alma announced her debut San Francisco show, and my heart filled with endless glee. I, as well as other music loving friends, have already picked up our tickets for the Popscene sow on April 27th at the Rickshaw Stop. And the news couldn’t have been more timely. Not only did it arrives just after Alma joined Dua Lipa, Charli XCX, Zara Larsson, and MØ, for a ridiculously good BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge session (re-visit, here), but it was swiftly followed up by the release of a jaw dropping new mixtape named Heavy Rules featuring some sterling guest talent, too! You can stream the flawless six track mixtape in full, here, but let’s dance together to some of the tracks off the tape together, shall we? First, let’s gyrate to the sensual and vibrant electronic pop found on heated groover Chit Chat, which features Kiiara on additional vocals. Alma and Kiiara is a magnificent team, but how about some plinky enthralling, fiery fierce R&B pop with Danish wonder MØ? Stream Dance For Me below, then follow it up with another exceptional pop track, Good Vibes, featuring another Swedish favorite, Tove Styrke! Yes, this mixtape is epic, as you can well tell by now. This is the sort of release you’re going to find yourself listening to over and over again. And on April 27th, I’ll be fortunate enough to hear some of these tunes live. You can’t see me now, but trust me, I’m smiling. A lot. Alma’s Heavy Rules mixtape is available from iTunes, here.
