Slovenia | Siddharta - "Ledena"

RECENT

After a long period without having a new album, the biggest band of Slovenia is returning. "Infra" is the name of Siddharta's recently released album. The first single from it is entitled "Ledena". It's a strong midtempo with great mood, making us remind the ambience of "Male roke". We love it – and it's no surprise when it's Siddharta!

Spain | Garson - "Beautiful death"

RECENT

Garson is a Spanish singer from the city of Alcoy. Even though he is from Spain, his work is far from anything you'd expect from a native. It has a different daring spice, and a great use of English (as it's rarely seen in Spanish music). His single "Beautiful death" is a great example of all that.

Sweden | Nova Miller - "Supernova"

RECENT

Nova Miller is a very young talent coming from Sweden. The 13-year-old singer, who was born in Stockholm, has released "Supernova". And what a single this girl has recorded! It's catchy, it grows in the proper moment and the chorus is specially good. Amazing work!

Czech Republic | Chinaski - "Každý ráno"

RECENT

Let's remeet the Czech band Chinaski. And get ready: this song is ready to blow your mind. "Každý ráno" has the classic structure of a rock track. It starts slowly, but explodes into a powerful chorus, filled of personality. It's classic, but it's still great: the result is amazing!

Italy | Valentina Tesio - "In ogni cosa"

RECENT

Valentina Tesio is one more great talent to be presented on the reality show Amici. The singer from Turin has recorded "In ogni cosa". And what a potence, what a voice, what a song! We weren't surprise to know she was being coached by Emma Marrone on the show. Valentina has surely got the potential to be a star, and here on Sounds European!, this one is already our song of the week.

North Macedonia | Kaliopi - "Poželi"

RECENT

Shortly after presenting another single of hers, we are already remeeting Macedonian diva Kaliopi. Now, it's time to listen to "Poželi", which is a very powerful pop-rock. Kaliopi's unique voice works very well in this genre, and this song is no exception.

Latvia | Lauris Reiniks - "Rytas pienės pūke"

BRAND NEW

Lauris Reiniks is a singer, songwriter, TV host and actor from Riga, Latvia. The multitalented star has just released "Rytas pienės pūke". It is a very good single, with interesting instrumentals and a great chorus. We love it! And for those who are fans of acoustic music, check the English version "Morning in dandelion fluff".

Slovenia | Nino - "Dovolj romantike"

RECENT

Every time we get to listen to another single by Slovene singer and songwriter Nino, we get impressed. Not only by the quality, but also for the variety of work he presents. His latest single "Dovolj romantike" is another great example of this, and surely one of his best songs ever.

Sweden | Zara Larsson - "Lush life"

BRAND NEW

Zara Larsson is surely on the top shelf of what European pop is currently offering to the world. Her voice is solid gold, and the music she produces is following the best trends of the moment. "Lush life" is just one more sample of how great her work is. Very good!
