Niki & The Dove Take the PV Q&A: In this exclusive interview, keyboardist Gustaf Karlöf and vocalist Malin Dahlström catch up with us about classical music, finding and keeping that "spark" in music, and the unfortunate loss of Malin's first-ever original song.

Make sure you read the entry rules and details for both contests, as they're wrapping Monday.
