Why do we like this?
Sweden just keeps on bringing the goods when it comes to musical discoveries. Stockholm-based Nuoli will take your breath away. Influenced by the performing arts of the 70s and strong female artists such as Kate Bush, Dream Koala, and FKA Twigs, Nuoli is a musician and producer who uses music to express her thoughts and feelings on political and social issues, including racism, sexism, homophobia, and gender generalization.

"My Curse Is My Mind" is the official debut single from Nuoli: a stripped back yet provocative number dealing with the pressure to be someone you're not (at least that's what I got out of it). The steady, rhythmic drumming, delicate guitar, and sensual synths underpin Nuoli Hultman's hypnotic vocals that draw you in. There's a subtle intensity to Nuoli's singing, and as she coos the lines, "My curse is my mind/I was bound to fall," you can hear the darkness and despair that strays at the edges of the track.

It sounds cliche, but "My Curse Is My Mind" is hauntingly beautiful, and I haven't been this excited about a solo artist since I discovered Robyn in the early 00s. Nuoli is a name you will be hearing more as 2014 unfolds, mark my words.
