Kristofer Ostergren leads this Swedish quintet, who have conquered the charts in their homeland and plan to do the same elsewhere. They've been patient whilst awaiting their big chance - the song has actually been around since 2002!

It starts promisingly, a verse with the pop sensibilities of an Ian Broudie song, leading to a big, singalong chorus where the guitars open up, its melody reminiscent of Come On Eileen. To complete the checklist of pop winners, the lyrics are good - "I'm electric, I just want to dance, I want to be loved by you!"

With this knowing nod to the disco and a touch of glam, this immediately likeable song sticks firmly in the mind. Meanwhile B-side In Motion hints at a vulnerable side that suggests the album Mean Machine could be worth investigating.
