Macedonian singer Simona Popovska, who was here on Sounds European! in 2013 with the great "Do kraj", has just released a new single. And it's another amazing song: "Ne e najdobro" is an involving and groovy pop track. Delightful!
So, Finland is bringing us a possible hit reality show in some time from now. We Want More got bands that used to be very successful but were disbanded some years ago in order to launch them back on track. That is the case of Miljoonasade, who was a very active band between 1987 and 2000, when they released 12 studio albums. Now they came back with "Tarpeelliset valheet", a very haunting rock track.
German singer Cassandra Steen, who was born in the city of Ostfildern in 1980, appeared on SE! for the first time the past December, featuring in a single with Tim Bendzko. Now, she is back and flying solo: "Gewinnen" is a strong ballad with very marking beats.
We have featured Dutch singer Nielson some times on our blog already, yet this time he is back because of his successful latest single, "Sexy als ik dans". The song is currently #2 in Belgium!
Ed Sheeran is breaking the charts with his latest single, "Thinking out loud". He is charting almost everywhere around Europe, but the highlight is his #2 in the United Kingdom.
The Czech band Nebe was previously highlighted here on Sounds European! the past July, with "Než se rozední". Now, they are back with "Padaky", a very high-class rock 'n' roll track. Surely worth the listen!
We talked about Bustamante when he released the happy hit "Feliz", and now it's time to live through him: "Vivir" is an intense and anthemic pop ballad with a great chorus and a complete display of his voice.
Veca Janicsák is a Hungarian singer who was born in 1989, in the city of Budakeszi. Her single "Könnyek az esőben" is becoming a huge hit in Hungary, and we surely understand why. It is an extremely enjoyable track, with great melody and voice.
Lana Frančeska was born in Riga and is developing a quite interesting music career in Latvia. Her latest release features Normunds Rutulis (who was featured before with "Kā pirmo reiz"), and is a quite unique track: "Jauna diena" is all Latin-influenced. Arriba!
Maraaya is a Slovene duo formed by the married couple Marjetka, who is a singer with a very beautiful and unique voice, and Raay, a quite successful producer and composer of Slovenia. Their single "Lovin' me" is a classy pop which explores Marjetka's voice at her best. The melody and instrumentals, infatuating, and the chorus, highly addictive, complete the equation which makes this an outstanding work. It's our song of the week.
