One of the best albums I've bought in a long time. There's no weak track, every tune will get stuck in your head (not a bad thing, as they're seriously awesome). Make sure you listen through some good speakers or headphones, as there's some fantastic mastering done on this album and the bass is delish
Dirty Loops are the most musical thing I’ve heard in a long long time. They have one of the best male singers I’ve ever heard." – Brian McKnight
“I love the Loops unique approach to their covers, including the one of Wake Me Up, but also the sound they have captured in their own songs, I'm a big, big fan!” – Aviici
“Sweden's Dirty Loops are just incredible” – Quincy Jones

Review
Dirty Loops' full-length debut album, 2014's Loopified, showcases the
Swedish trio's ambitious jazz, prog rock, R&B, and electronic
dance-inflected pop music. Formed in 2008, Dirty Loops feature the talents of
vocalist/keyboardist Jonah Nilsson, bassist Henrik Linder, and drummer Aaron
Mellergårdh. All three members studied jazz and classical music in college and
spent several years working as session musicians before forming Dirty Loops as
an outlet to express their own eclectic, far-reaching musical vision. Working
with manager/producer Andreas Carlsson (as well as executive producer David
Foster), the group has put together an album that's one part jazz fusion trio,
one part electronic dance outfit, and one part contemporary pop act.
Impressively, it also ends up being much more than the sum of its parts. Dirty
Loops certainly have chops to spare and layer each track with enough
jazz-informed chord progressions, arpeggiated six-string basslines, frenetic
drum fills, and melismatic vocal breakdowns to fill any number of Stevie Wonder
albums (to name-drop an obvious influence). Thankfully, they also don't forget
to bring the pop melody, and cuts like the leadoff “Hit Me,” the energetic
club anthem “Sexy Girls,” and the buoyant “Take on the World” grab you
with immediately infectious hooks built largely around Nilsson's highly
resonant, charismatic croon. In reality, the tracks on Loopified aren't really
all that dissimilar to any number of modern pop hits from Justin Timberlake or
Bruno Mars. The difference is primarily in Dirty Loops' high level of technical
skill and jazz-infused progressions that lend a deeper harmonic nuance and
maturity to their songs, even when they are singing about “sexy girls in the
club.” Ironically, besides a few cheeky lyrical asides, there's not too much
that's very dirty or even musically messy about Dirty Loops here. On the
contrary, Loopified is an innovative, pure musical vision of jazzy, infectious,
crystalline-produced, club-ready pop. M Collar – Allmusic.com
