I'm from Barcelona
We're from Barcelona

Interpop

WE SAY

Tipped on our messageboard back in April, I’m From Barcelona are a Swedish pop collective comprising of 29 members. Their sound is an intriguing mixture of impossibly cheerful catchy choruses and sticky tunes complete with horns, kazoos and accordions. This is their debut single, and we guess their signature tune. Spun off the back of a successful DIY EP, EMI Sweden released their debut full length Let Me Introduce My Friends, which has several more great pop songs like this. The video, already with over 150,000 hits on YouTube is charming. Watch it here. JF Tipped by: Ben Cook
