We are showing you the perfect way to wake up with energy. Ezyway is a Czech band formed in Ostrava in 2011. Their mix of funk, pop and R&B is very evident in "Little happy", a fantastic upbeat song.
The Bundesvision Song Contest 2014 took place on September 20th, and, as last year, Sounds European! will be showing you some of the songs that competed. One of them was "Alles versucht", by Maxim (the same one we showed last year ago with "Rückspiegel"), a delicious indie pop ballad with a spice of synth sounds.
Ariana Grande has been around some weeks ago with her single "Problem" hitting the charts. And now she returns with "Break free", in which she features Zedd, being #4 in Finland!
No, this is not a cover of Hozier's superhit. Instead, it seems Irish people are in the mood to pray, because megastar Sinéad O'Connor has just released a fantastic new single also titled "Take me to church". The song is a very powerful pop-rock track, with an empowering chorus and all the intensity of Sinéad's voice.
It wasn't long ago when Sounds European! presented the very talented Macedonian singer Elena Milenkovska with her great "Dobar ili los". Now, we remeet Elena: this time, she shows a sexier side of her music with the single "Znam".
Jānis Stībelis is a Latvian singer who was born in Ventspils, whose work of several albums is very recognized in his country. He has gathered with Marta Ritova, also Latvian, from Riga, to release "2 pasaules", a very interesting downtempo pop.
Maurane is one of the most prolific singers in Belgium. Her name is so big that she is even a big name in neighbouring France, where she is part of the jury in Nouvelle Star (the French version of Idols). After some years without releasing new works, she came like a hurricane this year with "Trop forte", a super classical ballad with the outstanding power of Maurane's voice.
Our song of the week comes from Oslo, Norway! Paul Hansen is better known for being the frontman in the very popular bands Cortina and Vamp. Now he is launching his solo career with the release of his debut single, "The other side". The track is a super sticky pop-rock, with an in cresendo melody and a very captivating atmosphere. No wonder it's our favourite song this week!
There is no bigger name in the current Ukrainian music scene than Ani Lorak. There are maybe few ones who are the same level – bigger, surely none. When Ani releases a new song, we already hold our breaths: it's listening and getting dazzled. This time, it was the same. Just take your chance, listen and go crazy for it, too!
