Yup, they are on Sounds European! again. Fréro Delavega have released another great track, "Mon petit pays", which features a great guitar riff and their sweet voices to convey a very cool and soothing pop track.
Juli is one of the best bands of the current German music scene. They started their career in the city of Giessen, and are currently formed by Eva Briegel, Jonas Pfetzing, Simon Triebel, Andreas "Dedi" Herde and Marcel Römer. After some years without releasing new songs, they are back, with the very cool "Insel".
Sunrise Avenue are, currently, one of the most successful bands from Finland. As soon as they release a new single, it instantly becomes a hit all over Europe. It's likely going to be the case with "Nothing is over", too. A very cool rock ballad which has all the elements to please the fans.
Mary Jane Smith and Victor Alexander Thell make up the duo Smith & Thell. They've been together for ten years, and last week they came out with this great single: "Hippie van" is a very happy pop song with a great addition of country sounds.
Janet Leon is a Swedish singer who was born in Gothenburg in 1990. She was part of the girlband Play before starting her solo career. Last year, Janet had one of the best entries of Melodifestivalen, Sweden's National Final for Eurovision, "Heartstrings". This year, she has taken part of the competition once again, with a song we are still playing a lot, several months after the event: "Hollow" shows a different side of her music. It's passionate and very involving.
If you were a fan of '90s boyband ballads, you are going to love this. Union J (who we featured two months ago with "Tonight (We live forever)") has just released "You got it all", which is the perfect revival of those old songs that made the fangirl inside you jump out!
Soul, blues and pop mingle in a very interesting blend in Polish singer Kasia Lins. Born Katarzyna Zielinska in 1990 in Poznań, her latest single, "Reason", is a very delicate and classy mixture of feelings and music.
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.
