Recalling shades of Teenage Fanclub’s hooky power-pop, “The Sweetest Thing” is a new track from Swedish artist Hamilton Fox. Off the act’s upcoming album, “The Sweetest Thing” rides melodically in the first minute+ on a series of endearing vocal and guitar-driven hooks. A popping, harmonious guitar solo enters shortly thereafter, diversifying an effort otherwise content to emphasize its excellent initial hooks. The power-pop familiarity and easy-listening appeal makes “The Sweetest Thing” a fun listen with ample replay value.
