Italy | Eros Ramazzotti - "Io prima di te"

BRAND NEW

It's very hard to say something new about how unique and easily recognizable Eros Ramazzotti's voice is. Specially knowing we already wrote about it when Sounds European! displayed his previous single. Anyway, he is back with a new track. "Io prima di te" is a bit more electronic than we are used to listen with his music. But it's Ramazzotti: it's hard to go wrong with him!

Russia | Pizza - "Vtornik"

Pizza is a Russian pop-rock group whose name, according to its members, is an expression of their proposal: mixing different musical ingredients in a great and unique blend.
