RECENT

It's been more than a year since Sounds European! met ways with Estonian singer Liis Lemsalu. And let's face it: it's too long. But now the waiting is over, and it's being duly paid: her new single "Breaking the rules" is absolutely amazing! It's an explosive pop with catchy and strong melody and great singing. Everything about it is very positive!

Slovenia | Siddharta - "Nastalo bo"

BRAND NEW

Siddharta never gets old! The best band from Slovenia has just released "Nastalo bo", first single from the recently released album "Ultra". It's a very entertaining and captivating uptempo rock with extremely enticing synth elements.

RECENT

We talked about Dutch artist Chinook when she released the lovely "Go home". Here she comes again with a second and more mature single. "Dancing in flames" is a fantastic pop track, with an explosive chorus and a very infectious melody.

France | Amir - "Oasis"

RECENT

Laurent Amir Khlifa Khedider Haddad is Amir, a French singer who was born in Paris in 1984. Amir's Jewish roots took him to live near Tel Aviv, Israel, since 1992. There, he took part of Kokhav Nolad, a very popular Israeli talent show. He continued his career between Israel and France, ultimately participating in the French version of The Voice, where he finished third. The contrast between Eastern and Western cultures can be fully appreciated in his latest single, "Oasis": the song is a powerful pop with R&B beats and a delightful touch of Oriental sounds.
