Elena Temnikova might be a familiar name to you: she was one of the members of Serebro. Well, the girl is now going solo - and we loved her latest single! "Zavisimost'" is an intense pop song with a great chorus.
"Underdogs", the Finnish singer Benjamin's first single, was a big hit with the Sounds European! team. Now, he is back with "Unbreakable", a very cool ballad song. He is really showing his voice fits a downtempo as well as it did on the previous uptempo!
It's time to meet the new creation of the Georgian producer Konstantin Meladze – who is also the co-founder of VIA Gra and the composer and producer of many songs by big stars, such as Vera Brezhneva, Albina Dzhanabaeva, and Polina Gagarina. It's the Russian boyband MBAND (whose name is an abbreviation for "Meladze Boys Band"). Their first single shows they have what it's needed: it's a great boyband song!
One album was enough for Kodaline to become one of the most popular Irish bands. Luckily for us, they will be releasing a new album this year, which we already know will be titled "Coming up for air". And they already have shown us the first single to come out of the album: "Honest" is a very cool rock song, retaining their usual atmosphere ins songs but adding a bit more of power. They are just getting better!
Sounds European! is known for valuing the work of new young stars. This time, we meet one from the United Kingdom: Connie Talbot was born in 2000 in Streetly. She rose to fame in 2007, when she reached the final of the first season of Britain's Got Talent. "Gravity" is the song which names her current EP. It's a beautiful track, which displays all her talent and potential.
Forget all the clichès you've heard before in songs about New Year. Julia Beretta's "S Novym Godom, druz'ya!" is the groovy pop song with a touch of electro beats that this celebration was needing!
Born in 1997 in Molde, Norway, Jesper Jenset took part of the latest edition of the reality show Idols in his home country. He came only fifth, but damn we got to like his single! "Call me yours" is an infectious pop song with a simple melody and equally simple lyrics, but totally catchy!
It's time for a meeting of giant international stars! Olly Murs, one of the biggest talents of the new British generation (who is a frequent name here on Sounds European!), joins American singer Demi Lovato for "Up". It's one of those songs which sounds even better because it's a man-and-woman duet.
ALEKSEEV is the stage name of Nikita Vladimirovich Alekseev, a Ukrainian singer who was born in Kiev in 1993. His latest single, "Vse uspet'", leaves no doubt: he has groove running through his veins. The song offers great verses, addictive choruses and a contagious melody... this couldn't get better!
We first met Vianney Bureau – born in Pau, France, in 1991 – last year, with this very entertaining "Je te déteste". Now, it's time to listen to his second single. "Pas là" is even cooler than the previous one, and the chorus has a very special melody.
