Sweden | YOHIO - "To the end"

RECENT

YOHIO is the stage name of Kevin Johio Lucas Rehn Eire, Swedish singer who was born in Sundsvall in 1995. Before this year's Melodifestivalen (his country's National Final for Eurovision) started, he was considered the biggest candidate to win it all and go to the European contest in Copenhagen. Ultimately, his "To the end" didn't succeed – but, in our opinion, it had all the predicates for that. It's an excellent, very entertaining rock track!

Kent is a very traditional band from Eskilstuna, Sweden. Since they started their work, in the 1990s, they've had tens of songs hitting the top ten of the Swedish charts. "La belle epoque" is the first single from their new album "Tigerdrottningen". It's a very involving and addictive track.
