Super Fëmmes is a new Swedish girl band representing a powerful and edgy, yet traditional and glamorous pop music that blurs the lines between a variety of influences. The group is a constellation of the 90’s pop icons – Emilia, Miio, DeDe Lopez and Therese “Drömhus” Grankvist – who joined forces in this super group during 2021 with the purpose to create music and perform together.

 

Recently, Super Fëmmes released their first song, a cover of the Rozalla hit Everybody’s free (from 1991). The song is produced by the renowned team Hertzberg & Funke who had recent successes with hits like Save tonight. The song was released April 29 and has in this short period of time reached great traction, both in Sweden and internationally (markets like US, UK and Germany).

 

As a second single, Super Fëmmes will soon be releasing the newly written song Guilty Pleasure on June 17, 2022. Guilty Pleasure is written by Collin Idzikowski, Tor Eimon, Julia Gartha, Jakke Erixson plus the Super Fëmmes member Denise DeDe Lopez. It is produced by Jakke Erixson, a Swedish musician, composer and producer based in Los Angeles. Erixson has earlier worked with artists like e.g. Christina Aguilera and Rod Stewart and, on the producer side, Max Martin and RedOne among others.

 

Super Fëmmes will also tour this summer with their premiere at the large Swedish festival Vi som älskar 90-talet (Gothenburg, Stockholm and Helsingborg) where they will appear with their newly created show which entails a mix of their previous hits and the newly produced material.

About

Super Fëmmes

The name Super Fëmmes is a symbol for coming together as women, strengthening and empowering each other – all women are super women and we’re stronger together. We flirt with our roots in the 90’s era, inspired by female superheroes like Spice Girls and Charlie’s Angels, but mixing it with a modern vibe – all with a touch of glamour, attitude and class. With our different backgrounds and influences we are proud to have come together, unified in one group, and we aim to challenge the narrow view for women when it comes to who can do modern pop music and why – passion for music has no limits when it comes to age, race or appearance.
