Time to listen to a very unique pop-rock from Norway. Sassybeat's "Good bad boy" reminds us a bit of The Corrs' work, but, at the same time, is totally innovative.
Stine Bramsen, lead singer of Alphabeat, is also starting a solo career. After collaborating with Carpark North in "32", she is now releasing her first solo single. The song is called "Prototypical" and is an explosive pop track which features a very strong instrumentation and a powerful participation of backing vocalists. Is it too early to name it one of the tracks of 2014?
The song "Kaikki okei" is very different from what Finnish music usually offers us. It's a pop ballad with touches of American country music. An interesting mix, enhanced by Kim's very cool voice.
MØ is the biggest promise to emerge from Denmark. Born in Odense, she is a very acclaimed indie artist who is very focused in making the big step into the highlights this year. "Say you'll be there" is one of her latest songs, and you are imagining it right – it's an indie cover of the Spice Girls!
Singer and actor Łukasz Zagrobelny has had a very prosperous career. Besides taking part of several plays, he was the Polish voice in several well-known movies (dubbing, for example, "Shrek 2"). His latest single is "Dotrę do ciebie", a very groovy pop with a captivating melody.
There is always room for a great Turkish rock in our blog. Gece was formed in 2000 in Ankara, the Turkish capital city, and has continued to have a great success until now. Their latest single is the soft "Yanimda kal".
U2 came back in the end of last year with an emotive hommage to Nelson Mandela, "Ordinary love". Their latest track is a bit innovative: "Invisible" adds some synth beats to their traditional rock sound.
Katy B has already been featured on Sounds European!, but now she is being a highlight in the British charts. Her successful "Crying for no reason" is this week at #5 in her home country.
