United Kingdom | Rixton - "Wait on me"

BRAND NEW

We have been with Rixton since the beginning of their already rich career. It was only natural that we'd be with them again for the release of "Wait on me", their third single. As cool and contagious as the other ones!

BRAND NEW

After getting a significant result for Spain on this year's Eurovision Song Contest (being the best placed among the "Big Five countries"), Ruth Lorenzo is back, with more of her great music.

France | Fréro Delavega - "Mon petit pays"

BRAND NEW

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.

Sweden | Smith & Thell - "Hippie van"

BRAND NEW

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.

Sweden | Janet Leon - "Hollow"

RECENT

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.
