“Dignified beautiful Avicii-tribute at the P3 Gold”

“pop-2018 is, and remains, synonymous with the loss of Avicii.”

“which, of course, also pervaded the year’s P3 Gold.”

“The graceful Seinabo Sey reenacts his ”Good in you” with a voice warm enough to melt January.”

“the Viagra Boys sluskrockar to the fund of tennis.”

“Mwuana give the world premiere of its 20-scented rapstycke ”Showstopper”.”

“P3 Gold highlights new music on the best time. Reflects a multi-faceted Sweden and gives a nuanced picture of a Swedish music beyond ”So much better”.”

“It is expanding the main merit.”

“happily, led the P3 Gold also for the fifth year in a row by one of Sweden’s best music journalists – Tina Mehrafzoon – in the evening, in collusion with comedian Marcus Berggren.”

“Hov1 was the evening’s uncrowned kings (group of the year, this year’s song and the prestigious guldmicken) came hardly as a surprise, when the fans’ voices got a heavier role at the side of the P3:s are chosen. The emotional boy band is undeniably a voice for his generation. The quartet was not in place in the Partille arena – also known as Frank Oceans the rehearsal room before Way Out West in 2017 – but left a series of salty messages from Costa Rica.”

“To categorize the music in a liberating genrelös time is always a bit of a square and confusing. Robyn won this year’s dance – not pop. A category where I hoped on Studio Orphanage-related producer Bella Boo. “

“Molly Sandén was nominated in two categories for its well-rounded honest r’n’b-pop in Swedish. I think she deserves to win in at least one of them.”

“Otherwise, it was the evening in Gothenburg, more than anything else about the year’s most tearful moment. Aviciis heartbreaking goodbye. Tribute to him ran away, a naked, fine speech by my colleague, Carl Falk, greetings from David Guetta, Nile Rodgers and Wyclef Jean, the mysterious Ionnalee and glass Menke in an interpretation of ”I could be the one” and a körversion of ”Without you”.”

“A reminder of the sorgsnaste minor about what 2018 will always be in the pop music history books.”
