El Perro Del Mar – Change of Heart
As melancholic as it may have been, Sarah Assbring won a lot of hearts with El Perro Del Mar. Now testifying to the remedial powers of love and music, the Swede seems to have picked herself up considerably for its sequel, From the Valley to the Stars. But despite fuller arrangements, the album felt more like a collection of ditties than songs, the lyrics rarely extending beyond the refrain of the title and the overall tone too consistent for its own good.
Change of Heart is to be the first single from Assbring’s forthcoming mini-album Love Is Not Pop. This time, the talk of change seems to have materialised: this one has a slinky beat and an ’80s-tastic guitar/bass pairing. Perfect for a night time scene, post-lovers’ tiff in the John Hughes movie that never was.

What a treat: two Swedish pop princesses performing one of my favourite soul classics…in a Take Away Show! If only they had done that during their show at the Sugar Club. Watch the full set over at La Blogotheque.

El Perro Del Mar – ‘Inner Island’
I have been saving this song all week just for Sunday. From the melancholic notebook of Sewdish songwriter Sarah Assbring, ‘Inner Island’ is another great example of her gift for quaint, effective melodies that just make you want to throw a comforting arm around her. Her second official studio album From the Valley to the Stars is released in the US on April 22 and in the UK on May 19.
