I just noticed that one of Sweden's best labels, Labrador, finally joined Last.fm. And not only did they add a substantial amount of their catalogue, they also made most of it available for full length previews! So I figured it was time to make a post on the best compilation album I've bought for several years ^^

In early September 2005, Chili Music Korea released a compilation called Swedish Heart. It was advertised as Korea's premier Swedish ballad special collection", and on 2CDs it contained 27 songs from 23 Labrador artists. I decided to make a purchase as I thought it was an easy way to get to know more of the music from Labrador.

So what was on this special ballad collection? Not as many slow songs as I had expected, but plenty of really, really good pop songs! I want to make a review on every song, but I don't have the time… Still, I want people to know exactly how good all of these songs are, and with Labrador on Last.fm you can now hear most of them for yourself, so here's the tracklist!
