In the 1990s, alternative rock band Kent was one of my favourite acts from Sweden. Next to his band (which disbanded in 2016), lead singer and guitarist Joakim Berg also worked with other artists. These collaborations had much more of a pop signature. He wrote for and recorded with artists like Titiyo (Come Along), Morten Harket (of a-ha fame), and Avicii. The latest song he co-wrote, is Smith & Thell’s new single Radioactive Rain.

Smith & Thell are Swedish duo Maria Jane Smith and Victor Thell. They’ve only been around for five years now, but are already mega stars in Scandinavia. Radioactive Rain is the pair’s latest single to be released ahead of their sophomore album Pixie’s Parasol, which will follow in February.
