Songs from Sweden shows how Swedish songwriters and producers are the creative forces behind much of today’s international pop music. While Swedish writer-producers developed early global recognition for making commercially successful pop music, new Swedish writer-producers have continuously emerged during the last two decades.

Recensioner i media

“Johansson’s study will still be of interest to scholars and students in Popular Music Studies and Scandinavian Studies. In particular, Songs from Sweden casts a welcome light on an otherwise enigmatic corner of the global popular music industry and is a welcome contribution to ongoing conversations about Sweden’s role as a producer and broker of transnational culture.” (Ryan Thomas Skinner, Scandinavian Studies, Vol. 93 (2), 2021)
