Florrie's "Little white lies" was among the best songs we've featured on 2014, finishing 11th on our top 50 of 2014. And here she comes with a new single! "Too young to remember" is a very fresh and still magnific pop song with a fantastic chorus and a very nice rhythm.

Latvia | Astra The 22's - "Winter love"

BRAND NEW

Astra The 22's are an indie pop duo formed by Kerija Kaleja and Eric Jayk.

They have just released "Winter love", which is a very involving song with hypnotic melody and catchy vocals.

Bulgaria | Ana Maria feat. Bogomil - "Teb si pozhelah"

RECENT

Meeting of two young stars who were finalists of different seasons of The X Factor in Bulgaria. Ana Maria Yanakieva, born in Levski in 1998, was the third place of the reality show's second season. She has gathered with the runner-up of the first season, Bogomil Bonev, born in Gorna Oryahovitsa in 1996, to release "Teb si pozhelah". It's a very interesting mix of pop and R&B, with a great chorus.

Denmark | Bite The Bullet - "Wheels"

BRAND NEW

Bite The Bullet is a Danish band which was formed in Copenhagen in 2012. They define themselves as pure authentic rock 'n' roll meant to be played loud. And, yes, they are very accurate with that description! Their single "Wheels" sounds like those classic rock songs, without sounding outdated. It's fresh, it's great: it is, indeed, authentic rock 'n' roll.
