Gabriel Rios was born in Puerto Rico in 1978, but he has lived his youth in Ghent, Belgium. Yet, currently, he is living in Brooklyn. With such a mixture of different countries and cultures, it should not surprise us to see his single "Gold" being #3 in Norway!
Loredana Groza is a Romanian singer and songwriter who was born in Onești in 1970. She is ready to take everyone's hearts with her new single "Risipitor". What a great pop song it is! Her unique voice is used very well in a catchy and extremely interesting track.

Kendji Girac is a new star rising in the French music market. Born in Bergerac, the 18-year-old singer appeared to fame when taking part, as a member of Mika's team, of the third season of The Voice in France – which he ended up as the winner. His half Latin, half gypsy style has taken the hearts of the fans, and his first single "Color gitano" was a huge hit. Now, he is back with "Andalouse", which keeps the genre and the quality of his previous song.
We've talked about Margaret before when she released "Wasted". The newest single by the young Polish girl is "Start a fire", a very marking pop song with some synth sounds and a booming chorus, wrapping up a fantastic melody. This song also has a version made specially for the 2014 Volleyball Men's World Championship, which is a bit more directed to pop. You can listen to it here.
Continuing with our presenting the best entries from the Bundesvision Song Contest, it's time to check the winning song! The German band Revolverheld isn't a new name for Sounds European! fans, since they've appeared here twice before. They were the representatives for Bremen on the contest, with the catchy and vibrant "Lass uns gehen", and won it all with a lot of ease. We also loved it here, and that's why it's our song of the week!
Raquel Guerra was the runner-up of Ídolos 2, the second season of the Portuguese version of Idols.

Thanos Petrelis (who appeared on Sounds European! last year with "Teleiosame") is now back with a duet. The Greek singer has gathered with his fellow compatriot Christina Miliou (singer who was born and raised in Athens) for "Pes mou". It's a very traditional Greek pop track!
