It is a pop ballad with a very marking chorus and a great beat, and shows that Ani still knows how to give us what we like!

United Kingdom | The Shires - "State lines"

BRAND NEW

No, we didn't make any mistake. You are hearing country pop as made by Americans, but made by British. And it is really amazing! The Shires are Ben Earle and Crissie Gudgin, and they teamed up in 2013. They are releasing their first album this year, entitled "Brave", which is where "State lines" comes from. Simply gorgeous!

Russia | Bazil - "Ai-yai-ya"

We now travel to Russia, where we meet the band Bazil. They have just released a very cool single named "Ai-yai-ya". The instrumentals are extremely well done, and the vocals make the song quite catchy and enjoyable. It's as fresh as a pop-rock can be!

Sweden | Darin - "Ta mig tillbaka"

BRAND NEW

Swedish singer Darin made quite a change for his latest single. From being hommaged as one of the Swedish pop kings at the Eurovision Song Contest 2013 to a soft indie pop is something to highlight! "Ta mig tillbaka" shows a more intimate, sweet side of Darin, which is still as fantastic as his more explosive one!
