MARIT BERGMAN

Off to Sweden we go for more of that ever-satisfying, ever-slightly guilt-inducing Swedish pop.

Marit Bergman just recently released her third full-length, I Think It's a Rainbow. Alas, unless you live in a Nordic country, you may have to work a little harder and pay a little extra to grab ahold of it.

Ms. Bergman's sound incorporates both '60s and '80s pop sounds, and maybe that's why it sounds just a bit more "sophisticated" -- and just a bit less "slick" -- to my ears than the sort of thing that Britney and her silicone ilk are known for.
