The salient points

• Tove Anna Linnéa Östman Styrke, or Tove Styrke for 'ease', finished third on Swedish Idol 2009.


• THIRD!


• Her self-titled debut album featured production from Patrik Berger, which wasn't exactly a terrible idea.


• This single was co-written by fellow Swede, Lykke Li.


• This song is very good indeed and was her first big hit in Sweden.


• In 2011, she released a new song, 'Call My Name' and it was extraordinarily good.


• At the time of writing her profile outside Sweden is still a bit limited to the whole 'plugged-in pop sophisticate' sort of group but hopefully she will 'do a Robyn' at some point and everyone will love her.


• She is not exactly ugly.
