We say
On the strength of Jive Babe, Norway's Mikhael Paskalev marks himself out as one of the most complete artists to come from the Nordics in a long long time. The single quickly garnered some highly complementary press over the summer, including The Guardian's NBOTD, and an NME Radar piece, with strong pickup in blog-world leading to 80k YouTube views. His previous online release - I Spy - is just as good and approaching 400k views. The LIPA educated songwriter was one of the main attractions at this year's excellent Oya festival in Oslo, with a strong international industry contingent in attendance for his performance. Paskalev is red hot right now, making his sold-out headline performance at Thursday's Ja Ja Ja all the more special.
