Jaro Smejkal was born in Turnov, Czech Republic, in 1991. In 2013, he took part of the reality show Česko Slovenská SuperStar, the joint Czech and Slovak version of Idols, where he came eighth. But not making it to the final didn't stop him, and here we have his latest single: "Everlasting love" is a soft ballad with beautiful instrumentation and a great vocal performance by Jaro.
It must be really cool for a band to reach countries that are almost on the other side of the world. This is what happens this week with Maroon 5: their single "Sugar" is #2 in Bulgaria!
Now that the Eurovision National Final season is over, we are back to our usual schedule: it's The Charts Day again! And we return with a hit in France: local singer Louane was featured in our site with the lovely "Avenir", which is the #1 single in the French charts!
Romanian singer Delia was firstly highlighted on Sounds European! the past December, when she released a duet with Kaira. Now, she is flying solo with her new single. And what a flight! "Inimi desenate" is a remarkable song. Great melody, voice, instrumentals... pop in its greatest form!
Born and raised in Athens, Alexandros Mirtos is a new name to rise in the Greek music scene. And his new single "Poios?" shows he has everything it takes to stay. His song has that perfect mix of pop and Greek influences we love to listen.
Antra Stafecka is a Latvian singer who was born in Ogre in 1991. She's been singing since she was a little kid, and the hobby has become a profession. Her new single "Vientuļā zvaigzne" has a very involving melody, specially during the chorus. Antra's voice complements it all perfectly.
Seda Telciler is a Turkish singer from the city of Istanbul. She has just released a new single named "Bembeyaz". It's a delicious guitar-based pop track. Her voice is great, and the Turkish language fits perfectly to the melody.
Litesound is a Belarusian band formed in Minsk in 2005. Among their feats, they represented Belarus in Eurovision in 2012 with the contagious "We are the heroes". Their latest single is "UFO", a very powerful, intense and contemporaneous rock track with a brilliant use of synth elements. We loved the song tremendously - no wonder it became our song of the week!
The pop music of the Swedish singer Eric Saade has always pleased the editors of Sounds European!. When he joins forces with the composer Fredrik Kempe – creator of "Popular", for example –, even more! Together, they've released "Sting" to take part on this year's Melodifestivalen, the Swedish National Final for Eurovision. It's a very catchy song, with great instrumentals and contagious chorus.
