Jens Lekman and the Tough Alliance consist of three Swedish dudes that aim to make excellent pop music. Jens Lekman has been around for a little while, thus allowing himself to establish a critically acclaimed library of songs. On Oh Your So Silent Jens and Night Falls Over Kortedala, Lekman creates a unique brand of pop that is reminiscent of old classics, but in an entirely new light. His compositions are made up of various samples, back-up vocals, and creative guitar abilities. Basically, Jens makes mostly upbeat music that is rich in lyrics and content. Anyone of any age can appreciate his original sound because of how refreshingly harmonious it is. Some examples of his timeless works can be found in "The Opposite of Hallelujah", "I'm Leaving You (Because I Don't Love you)", "A Postcard To Nina", and "Black Cab." As for the Tough Alliance, they are a bit more off the radar, and a bit more radical in their music. On A New Chance, The Tough Alliance puts out eight inspiring tracks that blend electronica and pop together with relative ease and style. Their influences range from 50 cent to Daft Punk to Blondie, which is simply why A New Chance is so enjoyable. Their lyrics are really good too, whether they're talking about switching lanes, ecstasy in Miami, or rioting in the streets. Check out the YouTube videos and decide for yourself.
