Why We're Excited: Nicklas Sahl's "New Eyes" was a major, award-winning smash in the singer-songwriter's native Denmark, and there's no reason it couldn't cross over here: It's a slippery little pop-and-soul earworm — microdosed with a bit of country — that rides Sahl's falsetto as far as it'll go. It's the kind of song you could easily imagine hearing on the radio 5,000 times, and when it comes on for the 5,001st time, there's still no good reason to change the channel.
