Returning with what will undoubtedly be one of the biggest records of the summer, Swedish House Mafia have recently launched their official video for new single “Save The World.” The video has been up for just a few weeks and has already surpassed 10 millions views. “It’s one of the songs that came out of the studio sessions we had over here in L.A. this year,” Axwell told MTV News of the new indie-rock-infused track, which he promises is nothing like anything they’ve produced in the past. “I think a good thing is always to leave what you did there and start fresh,” he said.
