Having sold out headline shows across Europe, including London, played major stages across Scandinavia, dropped a track with Canada's SadBoi, and successfully built an international following hungry for her unique, self-produced sound, Raghd has established herself as a key figure in Stockholm's alt scene. Now the artist releases her new single, Side Effect, kicking off a powerful run of releases ahead of her EP this autumn and debut album next year. 2025 promises to be a very important year for the singer, whose sound continues to expand all over the world, consolidating herself as one of the artists with the greatest potential in the scene.
Following two acclaimed EPs, Raghd has become one of the most talked-about names in the Nordics' new wave of genre-bending acts. With singles like Easy Go! racking up millions of streams on Spotify, the artist now opens a new chapter in her musical career with the release of Side Effect, a tightly coiled, bass-driven track that hits with a full-body bounce. This is a song about cause and effect; about being fully yourself and dealing with everything that comes with it.
“Even when things feel pointless, I know there’s more to come. I trust my gut so much it can only mean one thing—I’m that bitch,” Raghd responds when we ask her about her latest release, a sneak peek of what’s to come in 2025 that comes along with a music video directed by herself and produced by Raghd, clubdesportif & Stacey. Today she’s celebrating a listening party for her new single, Side Effect, at Fållan, together with Adidas and SNS. “From 18:00 to 22:00, expect low-end clarity, high-volume joy and full-body bounce with a live set from Raghd and DJs Jahanam and Kim Öhman on deck all night.” You can get your ticket here.
