09. Hello Stranger! - "I promised you a miracle"
Hello Stranger! is the moniker for Swedish musician Joel Karlsson, formerly a member of the 2010s act Air France, which only released two small EPs during their run.

Clocking in at just 2:30, the breezy dance song is a nostalgic time warp thanks to its mysterious sampling, warm drums and tropical synths.
